    • A. 1.1 hectares
    • B. 1.15 hectares
    • C. 1.2 hectares ✓
    • D. 1.25 hectares

    Solution. Area = 150 × 80 = 12,000 m². In hectares: 12,000/10,000 = 1.2 hectares.

  2. 2. Find the total surface area of a cuboid with length 8 cm, breadth 5 cm, and height 4 cm.

    • A. 180 cm²
    • B. 184 cm² ✓
    • C. 190 cm²
    • D. 176 cm²

    Solution. TSA = 2(lb + bh + hl) = 2(40 + 20 + 32) = 2 × 92 = 184 cm².

  3. 3. Find the area of a rectangle with length 20 cm and breadth 15 cm.

    • A. 280 cm²
    • B. 290 cm²
    • C. 300 cm² ✓
    • D. 310 cm²

    Solution. Area of a rectangle = length × breadth = 20 × 15 = 300 cm².

  4. 4. Find the perimeter of a square whose side is 18 cm.

    • A. 64 cm
    • B. 72 cm ✓
    • C. 68 cm
    • D. 76 cm

    Solution. Perimeter of a square = 4 × side = 4 × 18 = 72 cm.

    • A. 130 cm²
    • B. 135 cm²
    • C. 138 cm²
    • D. 140 cm² ✓

    Solution. Perimeter = 2(length + breadth), so breadth = (48/2) − 14 = 10 cm. Area = 14 × 10 = 140 cm².

  6. 6. Using π = 22/7, find the area of a circle with radius 7 cm.

    • A. 154 cm² ✓
    • B. 144 cm²
    • C. 308 cm²
    • D. 44 cm²

    Solution. Area = πr² = 22/7 × 7 × 7 = 154 cm².
