Totally depends on what the subject is!
Mine was only about 60 pages. It had a bibliography with about 400 references and several graphs. One of the graphs was just half a page, but showed the results of 100 repetitions of an experiment that took several hours each time I did it. So a half page represented a year of careful work. When I published a scientific paper about the topic all this work fit into about three pages in the journal.
On the other hand, my son's dissertation in an obscure area of history was over 650 pages and included more than 1000 references, about half of which were in languages other than English. That took over three years to write. After he got a job he turned it into a book that was about 300 pages long.

Anywhere from 50 to 300 pages depending on the subject and how much research you've done. It's really hard to set a length on it.

Depends on the subject. Not unusual for math topics to be a couple pages. Others might be hundreds. It's all about quality anyways, not quantity. If you can get everything succinct is what committees look for, not bloat.
