Answer Key and Solutions
Q1. There are 6 faces, and the cubes on the face but not on the edge of a face will have 1 side
painted. For a 4x4x4 cube (64 cubes), cubes with 1 face painted = 6 * (2^2) = 24.
Q2. Let original speed be x km/h. Time = 60/x, new time = 60/(x+10). Given: 60/x - 60/(x+10) = 1.
Solve the equation to get x = 30 km/h.
Q3. Each circle fits into 1/4 of the square. Area of square = 100 cm2. Radius of circle = 5 cm. Area
of 4 circles = 4*(*25) = 100. Shaded area = 100 - 78.54 = approx. 21.46 cm2.
Q4. The pattern increases by 3 matchsticks per figure. nth term = 2n + (n-1). For n=25, sticks = 2*25
+ 24 = 74.
Q5. Using digits 15, number of 4-digit numbers with no repetition = 5P4 = 120.
Q6. Angle = 30*hour - (11/2)*minutes = 30*3 - 11/2*15 = 90 - 82.5 = 7.5 degrees.
Q7. Volume = r2h = *(7)2*10 = 1540 cm3.
Q8. The word is reversed. So, SQUARE ERAUQS.
Q9. Sum = n(n+1)/2 = 210 n(n+1) = 420 n = 20.
Q10. Surface area = 6a2 = 294 a2 = 49 a = 7 cm.
Q11. Number of diagonals = n(n-3)/2 = 12*9/2 = 54.
Q12. LCM of 2,3,4,5,6 = 60. Smallest number that leaves remainder 1 = 61.
