Answer is (d)
Total surface area of one block = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= [2(22.5 ×10 + 10 × 7.5 + 22.5 × 7.5)] cm
= 2(225 + 75 + 168.75) cm
2
= (2 × 468.75) cm
2
= 937.5 cm
2
Let n blocks can be painted out by the paint of the container.
Area of n bricks = (n ×937.5) cm
2 = 937.5n cm
2
Area that can be painted by the paint of the container = 93.75 m
2= 937500 cm
2
937500 = 937.5n
n = 1000
Therefore, 1000 blocks can be painted out by the paint of the container

Question 23
The diameter of moon is approximately one – fourth diameter of earth. Find the ratio of their surface areas. and What
fraction of the volume of the earth is the volume of the moon?
Solution
Let d be diameter of earth
Surface area of earth= $ \pi d^2$
Diameter of Moon=$\frac {1}{4}d$
Surface area of Moon= $\pi D^2= \frac {1}{16} \pi d^2$
$\frac {\text{surface area of Moon}}{\text{surface area of earth}}= \frac {1}{16}$
Volume of earth=$\frac {1}{6} \pi d^3$
Surface area of Moon= $\frac {1}{6} \pi D^3= \frac {1}{384} \pi d^2$
$\frac {\text{Volume of Moon}}{\text{Volume of earth}}= \frac {1}{384}$
