(Perimeter – Area – Volume)

Slide 3
 Topic : Perimeter – Area – Volume

#Q. 1] At the centre of a city’s municipal park, there is a large circular pool. A fish is
released in the water at the edge of the pool. The fish swims north for 300 feet before it
hits the edge of the pool. It then turns east and swims for 400 feet before hitting the
edge again. What is the area of the pool?
A. 62500 𝜋
B. 125000 𝜋
C. 250000 𝜋
D. None of these

#Q. 2] Your friend’s cap is in the shape of a right circular cone of base radius 14 cm and
height 26.5 cm. The approximate area of the sheet required to make 7 such caps is
A. 6750 sq cm
B. 7280 sq cm
C. 8860 sq cm
D. 9240 sq cm

Slide 5
 Topic : Perimeter – Area – Volume

#Q. 3] A hemispherical bowl is filled with hot water to the brim. The contents of the
bowl are transferred into a cylindrical vessel whose radius is 50% more than its height.
If diameter of the bowl is the same as that of the vessel, the volume of the hot water in
the cylindrical vessel is
A. 60% of the cylindrical vessel
B. 50% of the cylindrical vessel
C. 100% of the cylindrical vessel
D. None of these

Slide 8
 Topic : Boats & Stream

#Q. 4] The sum of the boat's speed in still water and the speed of the current is 30
kmph. The boat covers 360 km against the stream in z hours, and the same boat covers
600 km along with the stream in z hours. What is the distance covered by the boat in
still water in 5 hours?
A. 120 km
B. 150 km
C. 180 km
D. 210 km

Slide 9
 Topic : Boats & Stream

#Q. 5] The speed of a boat in still water is 20% more than that of the current. After
traveling for 4 hours downstream, it traveled for 4 hours upstream by increasing the
boat's speed by 15 km/h. The distance covered by the boat downstream is 175% more
than that of upstream. Find the original downstream speed of the boat.
A. 75 km/hr
B. 80 km/hr
C. 55 km/hr
D. 40 km/hr

Slide 10
 Topic : Boats & Stream

#Q. 6] A boat is traveling downstream in a river at 40 km/h. If after traveling half the
distance, the speed of the stream increases by 40%, then the boat would reach its
destination in 15 minutes less than the usual time. Find the original speed of the
stream, given that the total distance covered by the boat is 420 km.
A. 5 km/hr
B. 10 km/hr
C. 7 km/hr
D. 4 km/hr
