Question: 1

The perimeter of one face of a cube is 20 cm. Its volume must be

(A) 105 cm³

(B) 125 cm³

(D) 400 cm³

Ans: B

Edge of the cube = $$({20} / {4})$$cm = 5 cm.

Question: 2

From a cube of side 8m, a square hole of 3m side is hollowed from end to end. What is the volume of the remaining solid?

(A) 400 m³

(B) 420 m³

(D) 480 m³

Ans: C

Volume of the remaining solid
