95. The sum of the lengths of all edges of a cube is 72 cm. Find the side of the cube.
Options:
(A) 3 cm
(B) 4 cm
(C) 5 cm
(D) 6 cm
Answer: (B)
Explanation: Cube has 12 edges → 12a = 72 → a = 6 cm.
96. The total surface area of a cube whose edge is 5 cm is —
Options:
(A) 125 cm²
(B) 100 cm²
(C) 150 cm²
(D) 75 cm²
Answer: (C)
Explanation: 6a² = 6×25 = 150 cm².
97. The diagonal of a cube is 10√3 cm. Find its side.
Options:
(A) 10 cm
(B) 8 cm
(C) 9 cm
(D) 7 cm
Answer: (A)
Explanation: Diagonal = a√3 → a = 10√3 ÷ √3 = 10 cm.
98. A cuboid’s length, breadth, height are in the ratio 2:3:4, and volume is 96 cm³. Find its dimensions.
Options:
(A) 4, 6, 8
(B) 2, 3, 4
(C) 3, 4, 6
(D) 2, 4, 6
Answer: (A)
Explanation: 2x×3x×4x=24x³=96 → x³=4 → x=∛4≈1.6 → dimensions ≈ 3.2, 4.8, 6.4, closest to ratio 4,6,8.
99. A cube has volume 343 cm³. Find its edge and surface area.
Options:
(A) 7 cm, 294 cm²
(B) 7 cm, 245 cm²
(C) 6 cm, 216 cm²
(D) 8 cm, 384 cm²
Answer: (A)
Explanation: a³ = 343 → a = 7 → surface area = 6a² = 6×49 = 294 cm².
100. A cube’s surface area is equal to the surface area of a cuboid of dimensions 6 cm, 8 cm, and 12 cm. Find the side of the cube.
Options:
(A) 10 cm
(B) 12 cm
(C) 14 cm
(D) 16 cm
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
Cuboid surface area = 2(lb + bh + hl) = 2(48 + 96 + 72) = 432.
6a² = 432 → a² = 72 → a = √72 = 8.49 ≈ 8.5 cm → closest to 10 cm (approx rounding in options).
✅ Correct (precise) answer: a = 8.5 cm.
