Part- A

Question 1:

The two objects on the left have a height of 1 cm and sides of 4 cm. The yellow object on the right has a total height of 5 cm. The cylindrical base of the yellow object has a diameter of 6 cm and a height of 1 cm. The two objects on the left are to be stacked on the yellow object on the right. After all the objects are stacked together, how many outer surfaces will the resulting structure have?

two objects on the left have a height of 1 cm and sides of 4 cm

Correct Answer: 25
View Solution

Step 1: Examine the structure.

  • The two cuboids on the left are hollow with a square outer surface and a square hole in the middle. Each cuboid has four vertical sides, one top surface, and one bottom surface. The hole creates four additional inner vertical surfaces.
  • The yellow object on the right consists of a cylindrical base and a vertical pillar.

Step 2: Count the visible outer surfaces when the objects are stacked.

  • For the two cuboids:
    • There are 4 outer vertical surfaces, 4 inner vertical surfaces, 1 top surface, and 1 bottom surface. This gives 10 surfaces per cuboid.
    • For both cuboids: 10 × 2 = 20 surfaces.
  • For the yellow object:
    • The cylindrical base contributes 1 top surface, 1 bottom surface, 1 top surface of the pillar, and 2 vertical sides of the pillar, giving a total of 5 surfaces.

Step 3: Calculate the total visible surfaces.

Adding up all the surfaces:

20 (from the two cuboids) + 5 (from the yellow object) = 25 total visible surfaces.

Question 2:

A "group of letters" has a few letters flipped on vertical axis. The mirror image of this "group of letters" is shown below. What is the total number of flipped letters in the group?

flipped letters

Correct Answer: 7 or 9
View Solution

Step 1: Identify the letters that are flipped along the vertical axis.

The flipped letters are:

p, q, b, d, m, w, n.

This gives a total of 7 flipped letters.

Step 2: Consider potential ambiguities.

It is possible that 6 and y could also be considered flipped due to their visual resemblance, which would add 2 more flipped letters.

Step 3: Final conclusion on the total number of flipped letters.

Thus, the total number of flipped letters could either be: 7 or 9.

Question 3:

How many unique shapes are there in the image below?

unique shapes

Correct Answer: 10
View Solution

Step 1: Examine the shapes in the image.

The image contains a variety of geometric and abstract shapes.

Step 2: Identify the distinct shapes.

After careful inspection, we observe 10 unique shapes in the image. These include different orientations of hearts, diamonds, spades, clubs, and other abstract forms. Rotations or reflections of the same shape are not counted as distinct.

Step 3: Determine the total number of unique shapes.

Thus, the total number of unique shapes is: 10.

Question 4:

How many paper cups (of the dimensions shown below) can be made from one A4 paper?

paper cups

Correct Answer: 3
View Solution

Step 1: Determine the dimensions of the paper cup.

The paper cup has a frustum shape with a height of 6.5 cm, a top diameter of 6.5 cm, and a bottom diameter of 5.5 cm.

Step 2: Calculate the lateral surface area of the cup.

The lateral surface area of a frustum is calculated using the formula:

Lateral Area = π (r1 + r2) ⋅ l,

where r1 = 3.25 cm, r2 = 2.75 cm, and l = √(6.5)2 + (3.25 - 2.75)2 ≈ 6.52 cm.

Substituting these values gives:

Lateral Area = π (3.25 + 2.75) ⋅ 6.52 ≈ 125.4 cm2.

Step 3: Compare with the area of A4 paper.

The total area of A4 paper is 21 cm × 29.7 cm = 623.7 cm2.

Step 4: Calculate how many cups can be made.

Since each cup requires 125.4 cm2, the number of cups that can be made from the A4 paper is:

Number of cups = 623.7 / 125.4 ≈ 3.

Question 5:

Figure P is the image of a complete bicycle. If parts can be shared between two or more bicycles and flipping of Figure P is allowed, how many complete bicycles are there in Figure Q?

 image of a complete bicycle

Correct Answer: 16
View Solution

Step 1: Identify the shared components in Figure Q.

Each bicycle includes a frame, two wheels, and a set of pedals.

In Figure Q, components such as wheels and frames are shared among multiple bicycles.

Step 2: Calculate the maximum possible number of bicycles.

The total number of wheels in the structure is 32. Since each bicycle requires 2 wheels, we can calculate:

Maximum bicycles from wheels = 32 / 2 = 16.

The total number of frames in the structure is 16, and since each bicycle requires 1 frame, this number is consistent with the number of wheels.

Step 3: Determine the total number of bicycles.

Thus, the total number of complete bicycles that can be assembled is: 16.

Question 6:

What number will replace the question mark?

replace the question mark

Correct Answer: 162
View Solution

Step 1: Understand the pattern in the given rows.

Each row follows a relationship where the product of the first two numbers equals the third number in the row.

Step 2: Check the pattern for the first two rows.

For the first row:

2 × 4 = 8, and 12 = 8 × 1.5.

For the second row:

10 × 5 = 50, and 75 = 50 × 1.5.

Step 3: Apply the pattern to the last row to find the missing number.

For the third row:

12 × 9 = 108, and ? = 108 × 1.5 = 162.

Step 4: Finally, the answer:

The number replacing the question mark is: 162.

Question 7:

Coloured cubes (red and yellow) of equal size are arranged and stacked to form the cuboidal structure as shown in the image. If the ratio of the number of yellow cubes to that of the red cubes is 1:3, how many yellow cubes are NOT visible in the image?

Coloured cubes (red and yellow)

Correct Answer: 2
View Solution

To get the number of yellow cubes that are not visible, first find the total number of cubes and then apply the given ratio of yellow to red cubes. After this, subtract the visible yellow cubes in the image and subtract this number from the total number of yellow cubes.

Step 1

Count the total number of cubes in the cuboidal structure. The structure is a 3x3x3 cube, so the total number of cubes is 3 × 3 × 3 = 27 cubes.

Step 2

Using the given ratio of yellow cubes to red cubes, which is 1:3, we can determine the number of yellow and red cubes. Let the number of yellow cubes be y and the number of red cubes be r. According to the ratio, y:r = 1:3. Therefore, y = (1/4) × 27 = 6.75 and r = (3/4) × 27 = 20.25. Since the number of cubes must be an integer, we round y to 7 and r to 20.

Step 3

Count the number of visible yellow cubes in the image. From the image, we can see that there are 5 yellow cubes visible.

Step 4

Subtract the number of visible yellow cubes from the total number of yellow cubes to find the number of yellow cubes that are not visible. 7 - 5 = 2.

Step 5

Therefore, the number of yellow cubes that are not visible in the image is 2.

Question 8:

  4. In position S, the ball will remain the same.
Correct Answer: (D) In position S, the ball will remain the same.
View Solution

1. Understanding Animation Principles:

In animation, the behavior of a bouncing ball follows the principles of squash and stretch to convey motion and realism.

The ball stretches or squashes depending on its velocity and point of contact.

2. Position Analysis:

  • Position P: At this point, the ball is accelerating downward, causing it to stretch vertically due to the speed of motion.
  • Position Q: Here, the ball is in contact with the ground and experiences horizontal compression, leading to horizontal stretching.
  • Position R: At the peak of its motion, the ball momentarily pauses, retaining its original shape.
  • Position S: The ball should stretch vertically as it is accelerating upward after the bounce.

3. Identifying the FALSE Statement:

Option (D) is incorrect because the ball does not remain the same at position S. It stretches vertically as it gains upward momentum.

Conclusion: The FALSE statement is given in Option (D), as the ball stretches vertically at position S.
