The edges of a cuboid are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3 and its surface area is 88 cm². The volume of the cuboid is:

  1. 48 cm³
  2. 24 cm³
  3. 64 cm³
  4. 120 cm³
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. 48 cm³

1. Let edges be x, 2x, 3x. Surface area = 2(x·2x + 2x·3x + x·3x) = 2(11x²) = 22x². 2. Set 22x² = 88, so x² = 4 and x = 2. 3. Volume = x·2x·3x = 6x³ = 6×8 = 48 cm³. _Source: RRB Group D (RRC) PYQ, held 27-10-2013, Q.67._

A wheel travels a distance of 22 km in 2500 revolutions. What is the diameter of the wheel? (Take π = 22/7)

  1. 2.8 m
  2. 1.4 m
  3. 5.6 m
  4. 3.5 m
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. 2.8 m

1. Distance per revolution = total distance / revolutions = 22000 m / 2500 = 8.8 m. 2. This equals the circumference, so πd = 8.8, giving d = 8.8 × 7/22. 3. d = 61.6/22 = 2.8 m. _Source: RRB Group D (RRC) PYQ, held 27-10-2013, Q.99._

If the edge of a cube is halved, its volume reduces to how many times the original volume?

  1. 1/3
  2. 1/4
  3. 1/8
  4. 1/2
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. 1/8

1. Volume of a cube = (edge)^3. 2. Halving the edge gives volume = (edge/2)^3 = (edge)^3 / 8. 3. So the new volume is 1/8 of the original. _Source: RRB Group D CEN-02/2018 PYQ, Q.12._
