III. Assertion and Reasoning Questions
For each question, choose the correct option:
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
c) A is true but R is false
d) A is false but R is true
1) Assertion (A): The one’s digit in the cube root of the cube number 1728 is 6.
Reasoning (R) : The cube root of a number is the factor that we multiply by itself three times to
get that number
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
(c) A is true but R is false
(d) A is false but R is true
2) Assertion (A): The cube of a negative number is negative.
Reasoning (R): Multiplying three negative numbers gives a negative number.
IV. Case Study Based Question
1) Mohan has to prepare a physics project in form of a cubical box for a social work campaign
but he had a cuboidal box of sides 4 cm, 2 cm, 4 cm. Now he has to change it in the form of cube
so that he can complete his project. For this, he needed more cuboids so that he can make his
project in form of cube.
(i) What is the volume of the cuboidal box?
(ii) Find value of (0.02)3.
(iii) How many cuboids are more needed?
