a.500b.900c.488d.800
Answer:C
Solution:Sizeofbigcube=5cm
Totalvolumeofthebigcube=5*5*5=125cm^3
Sizeofthehollowcubeinsidethebigcube=3cm
Volumeofthehollowspaceinsidethebigcube=3*3*3=27cm^3
Therefore,volumeoccupiedbysmallcubes(orvolumeofthickness)=12527=98cm^3
Totalnumberofface=98*6=588
Noofpaintedfaces=25*4=100
soanswerherewouldbe:

a.40b.5c.8d.37.8
Answer:D
Solution:Harestartswhentortoisehascovered1/5thofthedistance.Andbothmeetwhen
hareisat1/8thofthedistance.Soharetraveled1/8ofthedistanceandtortoisetraveled(4/5
1/8=)27/40ofthedistance.
Sincethetimetakenissamesod/vshouldbesame,considertasspeedoftortoiseandhas

27/40t=1/8h
h=(5/27)t
Now,tocompletetheracewithatie,bothhavetotraveltheremainingdistanceinsametime.
So,harehastotravel7/8ofthedistanceandtortoisehastotravelthe1/8ofthedistancein
