Dice

Question 1: If a six-sided die is rolled, what is the probability of getting an even number?

Solution: 
There are three even numbers (2, 4, 6) out of six possible outcomes, so the probability is 3/6 or 1/2.

Question 2: Two six-sided dice are rolled. What is the total number of possible outcomes?

Cube and Cuboid

Question 1: If the volume of a cube is 125 cubic units, what is the length of one side?

Solution: 
The volume of a cube is given by side^3. In this case, side^3 = 125, so the length of one side is 5 units.

Question 2: The length of a rectangular box (cuboid) is 8 units, the width is 4 units, and the height is 6 units. What is the volume of the cuboid?

Solution: 
The volume of a cuboid is given by length * width * height. In this case, the volume is 8 * 4 * 6 = 192 cubic units.

Arithmetic Reasoning

Question 1: Lisa is three times as old as her daughter, and the sum of their ages is 48. If the daughter is currently 8 years old, how old is Lisa?

Solution:
Let the daughter's age be D and Lisa's age be L.
According to the information given, L = 3D, and L + D = 48. If the daughter is 8 years old, then D = 8. 
Substituting this into the equations, we have 3(8) + 8 = 24 + 8 = 32. Therefore, Lisa is 32 years old.

Question 2: The sum of two consecutive integers is 45. What are the integers?

Solution:
Let the two consecutive integers be x and x + 1. The sum is x + (x + 1) = 2x + 1. 
Setting this equal to 45, we get 2x + 1 = 45. 
Solving for x, we find x = 22. 
Therefore, the two consecutive integers are 22 and 23.

Verification of Truth

Question 1: Determine the truth value of the statement: ‘If it is raining, then the ground is wet.’

Answer:
The statement is generally true. If it is raining, it typically leads to the ground being wet. Therefore, the statement is true.

Question 2: Check the truth of the statement: ‘All mammals lay eggs.’

Answer:
The statement is false. Not all mammals lay eggs; in fact, most mammals give birth to live young. Therefore, 
the statement is not true.

a) Apple b) Banana c) Orange d) Carrot e) Potato”

which is a vegetable. Therefore, "Carrot" does not belong to the group.

Question 2: Identify the word that does not belong to the group:

a) Square b) Triangle c) Circle d) Rectangle e) Cube

Answer: 
The classification is based on geometric shapes. Options a, b, c, and d represent 
two-dimensional shapes, while option e, "Cube," is a three-dimensional shape. 
Therefore, "Cube" does not belong to the group of two-dimensional shapes.
