Class 5, Volume -MCQs

MCQs: Volume

Important Formulae
Volume of Cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height
Volume of Cube = Side × Side × Side
1 cubic metre = 1000 litres

1. Find the volume of a cube whose side is 4 cm.

16 cm³ 64 cm³ 12 cm³ 48 cm³

Volume of cube = side³
= 4 × 4 × 4 = 64 cm³

2. The dimensions of a cuboid are 5 cm, 4 cm and 3 cm. Find its volume.

60 cm³ 20 cm³ 12 cm³ 240 cm³

Volume of cuboid = l × b × h
= 5 × 4 × 3 = 60 cm³

3. Find the volume of a cube of side 10 m.

100 m³ 1000 m³ 300 m³ 10 m³

Volume of cube = side³
= 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000 m³

4. A cuboid has length 8 cm, breadth 5 cm and height 2 cm. Its volume is:

80 cm³ 40 cm³ 15 cm³ 160 cm³

Volume = 8 × 5 × 2 = 80 cm³

5. How many litres are there in 2 cubic metres?

200 litres 2000 litres 20 litres 20000 litres

1 m³ = 1000 litres
2 × 1000 = 2000 litres

6. The volume of a cube is 27 cm³. What is the length of its side?

9 cm 3 cm 6 cm 27 cm

Side³ = 27
Side = 3 cm

7. Find the volume of a box 10 m long, 4 m wide and 3 m high.

120 m³ 17 m³ 40 m³ 100 m³

Volume = 10 × 4 × 3 = 120 m³

8. If the side of a cube is doubled, its volume becomes:

Double Four times Eight times Same

Volume ∝ side³
(2s)³ = 8s³

9. The volume of a cuboid is 240 cm³. If length = 6 cm and breadth = 5 cm, find its height.

8 cm 4 cm 10 cm 6 cm

Height = 240 ÷ (6 × 5)
= 240 ÷ 30 = 8 cm

10. Which unit is used to measure volume?

cm m² cm³ kg

Volume is measured in cubic units like cm³, m³
