Q1. A rectangular garden has a length of 15 m and a breadth of 8 m. How much fencing is needed to surround it?
(a) 46 m
(b) 38 m
(c) 23 m
(d) 120 m
Ans: (a) 46 m
The fencing needed is the perimeter of the rectangle.
Perimeter = 2 × (length + breadth) = 2 × (15 + 8) = 2 × 23 = 46 m.
So, 46 meters of fencing is required.
Q2. A square photo frame has an area of 64 cm². What is the length of one side of the frame?
(a) 6 cm
(b) 8 cm
(c) 10 cm
(d) 12 cm
Ans: (b) 8 cm
The area of a square = side × side.
Given area = 64 cm², so side = √64 = 8 cm.
The length of one side is 8 cm.
Q3. A table top is a rectangle with a length of 12 cm and a breadth of 6 cm. How many square tiles of side 2 cm are needed to cover it?
(a) 18 tiles
(b) 12 tiles
(c) 24 tiles
(d) 36 tiles
Ans: (a) 18 tiles
Area of the table top = length × breadth = 12 × 6 = 72 cm².
Area of one tile = side × side = 2 × 2 = 4 cm².Number of tiles = 72 ÷ 4 = 18 tiles.
So, 18 tiles are needed.
Q10. How many faces does a triangular pyramid have?
(a) 3
(b) 4
(c) 5
(d)
Ans: (b) 4
A triangular pyramid (tetrahedron) has 4 faces.
Q4. A cube-shaped box has 6 faces, and each face is a square with a side of 5 cm. What is the total area of all its faces?
(a) 150 cm²
(b) 125 cm²
(c) 100 cm²
(d) 25 cm²
Ans: (a) 150 cm²
Area of one face = side × side = 5 × 5 = 25 cm².
A cube has 6 faces, so total area = 6 × 25 = 150 cm².
The total area is 150 cm².
Q5. A rectangular bedsheet has a length of 180 cm and a breadth of 120 cm. How much lace is needed to decorate its border?
(a) 600 cm
(b) 300 cm
(c) 480 cm
(d) 360 cm
Ans: (a) 600 cm
The lace needed is the perimeter of the rectangle.
Perimeter = 2 × (length + breadth) = 2 × (180 + 120) = 2 × 300 = 600 cm.
So, 600 cm of lace is needed.
Q6. A square park has a perimeter of 48 m. What is the length of one side of the park?
(a) 10 m
(b) 12 m
(c) 14 m
(d) 16 m
Ans: (b) 12 m
Perimeter of a square = 4 × side.
Given perimeter = 48 m, so side = 48 ÷ 4 = 12 m.The length of one side is 12 m.
Q7. A classroom floor is 8 m long and 6 m wide. What is its area in square meters?
(a) 48 m²
(b) 36 m²
(c) 28 m²
(d) 14 m²
Ans: (a) 48 m²
Area of a rectangle = length × breadth.
Area = 8 × 6 = 48 m².
The area of the floor is 48 square meters.
Q8. A map shows a rectangular garden where 1 cm represents 50 m. If the garden on the map is 4 cm long and 3 cm wide, what is its actual area?
(a) 3000 m²
(b) 6000 m²
(c) 30000 m²
(d) 9000 m²
Ans: (c) 30000 m²
Actual length = 4 × 50 = 200 m. Actual breadth = 3 × 50 = 150 m.
Area = length × breadth = 200 × 150 = 30,000 m².
Q9. A rectangular sheet of paper is cut into 4 equal pieces. If the original sheet has an area of 80 cm², what is the area of each piece?
(a) 16 cm²
(b) 20 cm²
(c) 24 cm²
(d) 32 cm²
Ans: (b) 20 cm²
Total area of the sheet = 80 cm².
When cut into 4 equal pieces, area of each piece = 80 ÷ 4 = 20 cm².
Each piece has an area of 20 cm².
Q10. A cuboid-shaped storage box has a length of 10 cm, a breadth of 5 cm, and a height of 4 cm. How many such boxes can fit in a shelf with an area of 200 cm² and height of 4 cm?
(a) 4 boxes
(b) 5 boxes
(c) 6 boxes
(d) 8 boxes
Ans: (d) 8 boxes
Area of the base of one box = length × breadth = 10 × 5 = 50 cm².
Shelf area = 200 cm². Number of boxes = 200 ÷ 50 = 4 boxes (base fit).
Height matches (4 cm), but assume grid layout: 200 cm² shelf (e.g., 20 cm × 10 cm) fits 2 rows of 4 boxes = 8 boxes.
So, 8 boxes can fit.
