Question : A wheel has a diameter of 84 cm, then how far does the wheel go (in metres) in 16 revolutions? (Take $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)
Option 1: 42.24
Option 2: 21.12
Option 3: 36.28
Option 4: 27.48
Correct Answer: 42.24
Solution : Given : Diameter of wheel = 84 cm Number of revolutions = 16 Now, Radius of wheel, $r = \frac{84}{2} = 42 $ cm Circumference of wheel = $2\pi r = 2\times \frac{22}{7} \times 42 = 264$ cm Distance covered by the wheel in 16

Question : Simplify the following expression. 25 ÷ 5 of 12 × 2 − 9 ÷ 27 of 3 × 5 − 14 ÷ 28 × 4
Option 1: $-\frac{41}{91}$
Option 2: $-\frac{31}{9}$
Option 3: 18
Option 4: $-\frac{31}{18}$
Correct Answer: $-\frac{31}{18}$
Solution : Given: 25 ÷ 5 of 12 × 2 − 9 ÷ 27 of 3 × 5 − 14 ÷ 28 × 4 = 25 ÷ (5 × 12) × 2 − 9 ÷ (27 × 3) × 5 − 14 ÷ 28 × 4 =

Question : Some ice pieces, spherical in shape, of diameter 6 cm are dropped in a cylindrical container containing some juice and are fully submerged. If the diameter of the container is 18 cm and the level of juice rises by 40 cm, then how many ice pieces are dropped in the container?
Option 1: 95
Option 2: 85
Option 3: 80
Option 4: 90
Correct Answer: 90
Solution : By volume conservation, we can say that the amount of juice displaced by a solid sphere is equal to the volume of spheres being dropped inside the cylindrical container. ⇒ $x(\frac43\pi r^3)=\pi R^2h$, where $x$ is the number of ice pieces, $r$ is the radius
