Q:

In a shower, 5 cm of rain falls. The volume of water that falls on 1.5 hectares of ground is:

A) 75 cubic meter B) 750 cubic meter
C) 7500 cubic meter D) 75000 cubic meter
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 750 cubic meter

Explanation:

1 hectare = 10,000 Sq.m

So, Area = (1.5 x 10000) Sq.m

Depth = 5/100 m = 1/20 m

Therefore, Volume = Area X Depth = 15000 x (1/20)= 750 cu.m

Q:

A rectangular plot measuring 90 metres by 50 metres is to be enclosed by wire fencing. If the poles of the fence are kept 5 metres apart, how many poles will be needed?

A) 56m B) 65m
C) 34m D) 36m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 56m

Explanation:

Length of the wire fencing = perimeter = 2(90 + 50) = 280 metres

Two poles will be kept 5 metres apart. Also remember that the poles will be placed along the perimeter of the rectangular plot, not in a single straight line which is very important.

 

Hence number of poles required = 280 / 5 = 56
