    540
  • B
    472
  • C
    450
  • D
    380
Answer
  1. 450

Solution:

Diameter of a coin = 1.5cm

Thickness of coin = 0.2cm

Volume of one coin $=\pi\text{r2h}=\Big(\frac{1.5}{2}\Big)^2\times0.2\text{cm}^3$

Volume of N coins $=\pi\text{r2h}=\pi\Big(\frac{1.5}{2}\Big)^2\times0.2\times\text{ N cm}^3$

Volume of N coins = Volume of the right circular cylinder to be formed

$\Rightarrow\pi\Big(\frac{1.5}{2}\Big)^2\times0.2\times\text{ N}=\pi\Big(\frac{4.5}{2}\Big)^2\times10$

$\Rightarrow\text{N}=\frac{4.5\times4.5\times10\times2\times2}{2\times2\times1.5\times1.5\times0.2}=450$

Hence, the required number of coins = 450

Solution:

Given, height of a cone = 8.4cm

Radius of the base of cone = 2.1cm

Volume of a cone = $\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}=\frac{1}{3}\times\pi(2.1)^2\times8.4$

$=\frac{1}{3}\times\pi\times2.1\times2.1\times8.4=\pi\times4.41\times2.8\text{cm}^3$

Since, cone is melted and recast into a sphere.

let the radius of a sphere be R.

Then, Volume of a sphere = Volume of a cone

$\Rightarrow\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^3=\pi\times4.41\times2.8$

$\Rightarrow\text{r}^3=\frac{4.41\times2.8\times3}{4}$

$\Rightarrow\text{r}^3=4.41\times0.7\times3$

$\Rightarrow\text{r}^3=4.41\times2.1$

$\therefore\text{r}=2.1$

Hence, the radius of the sphere is 2.1cm.

    $25\pi\text{cm}^2$
  • D
    $36\pi\text{cm}^2$
Answer
  1. $36\pi\text{cm}^2$

Solution:

AB = 12cm

Area of circular Base $=\pi\text{r}^2=64\pi$

⇒ r = 8cm

Consider $\triangle\text{ADE}$ and $\triangle\text{ABC},$

$\angle\text{DAE}=\angle\text{BAC}$ (common)

$\angle\text{ADE}=\angle\text{ABC}$ (each 90º)

$\angle\text{AED}=\angle\text{ACB}$ (Third angle will also be same)

Hence $\triangle\text{ADE}\sim\triangle\text{ABC}$

So $\frac{\text{AD}}{\text{AB}}=\frac{\text{DE}}{\text{BC}}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{9}{12}=\frac{\text{DE}}{8}$

$\Rightarrow\text{DE}=6\text{cm}$

Radius of base of new cone = 6cm

  • A
    Halved.
  • B
    Doubled.
  • C
    Same.
  • D
    Four times.
Answer
  1. Same.

Solution:

curved surface area of a cylinder of radius 'r' and heightn 'h' is given by $\text{A}=2\pi\text{rh}$

Now, if r' = 2r and $\text{h}'=\frac{\text{h}}{2}$

Then $\text{A}'=2\pi\times(2\text{r})\times\frac{\text{h}}{2}$

$=2\pi\text{rh}=\text{A}$

⇒ C.S.A. remains the same.

The volume of a right circular cone of height 24cm is 1232cm3. Its curved surface area is.
  • A
    704cm2
  • B
    1254cm2
  • C
    550cm2
  • D
    462cm2
Answer
  1. 550cm2

Solution:

Radius of cone = r cm

Volume of cone $=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$

$\Rightarrow1232=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times\text{r}^2\times24$

$\Rightarrow\text{r}^2=\frac{1232\times3\times7}{22\times24}=49$

$\Rightarrow\text{r}=\sqrt{49}=7\text{cm}$

Area of curved surface area $=\pi\text{rl}$

$\text{l}=\sqrt{\text{r}^2+\text{h}^2}=\sqrt{7^2+24^2}=\sqrt{49+576}=\sqrt{625}=25$

$\therefore\frac{22}{7}\times7\times25=550\text{cm}^2$

The number of cubes of side 3cm that can be cut from a cuboid of dimensions 10cm × 9cm × 6cm, is:
  • A
    9
  • B
    10
  • C
    18
  • D
    20
Answer
  1. 18

​​​​​​​Solution:

We have the cuboid of dimensions 10cm × 9cm × 6cm.

We are to find how many cubs with edge 3cm can be cut from the given cuboid

Let us cut this cuboid into following two cuboids

9cm × 9cm × 6cm

And

1cm × 9cm × 6cm

So, the number of cubes of sides 3cm, that can be cut from the firest cuboid,

$=\frac{9\text{cm}\times9\text{cm}\times6\text{cm}}{3\text{cm}\times3\text{cm}\times3\text{cm}}$

= 18

We can not cut single cube of side 3cm from the second cuboid of dimension 1cm × 9cm × 6cm

Hence, this much volume is useless for us.

So, we can cut maximum 18 cubes of side 3cm from the cuboid of dimensions 10cm × 9cm × 6cm.

Hence, the correct option is (c).

Answer
  1. 3 : 1

Solution:

Let V1 and V2 be the volume of the two cylinders with radius r1 and height h1, and radius r2 and height h2,

Where, $\frac{2\text{r}_1}{2\text{r}_2}=\frac{3}{1},\frac{\text{h}_1}{\text{h}_2}=\frac{1}{3}$

So,

$\text{V}_1=\pi\text{r}^2_1\text{h}_1\ ...(\text{i})$

Now,

$\text{V}_2=\pi\text{r}^2_2\text{h}_2\ ...(\text{ii})$

From equation (i) and (ii), we have

$\frac{\text{V}_1}{\text{V}_2}=\Big(\frac{\text{r}_1}{\text{r}_2}\Big)^2\Big(\frac{\text{h}_1}{\text{h}_2}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{V}_1}{\text{V}_2}=\Big(\frac{\text{2r}_1}{\text2{r}_2}\Big)^2\Big(\frac{\text{h}_1}{\text{h}_2}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{V}_1}{\text{V}_2}=\big(3\big)^2\Big(\frac{1}{3}\Big)=\frac{3}{1}$

Two steel sheets each of length a1 and breadth a2 are used to prepare the surfaces of two right circular cylinders - one having volume v1 and height a2 and other having volume v2 and height a1. Then,
  • A
    a2v1 = a1v2
  • B
    $\frac{\text{V}_1}{\text{a}_1}=\frac{\text{v}_2}{\text{a}_2}$
  • C
    a1v1 = a2v2
  • D
    v1 = v2
Answer
  1. a2v1 = a1v2

Solution:

Let the radius of the base of the cylinder be r and R.

Now, let sheet with length a1 be used to form a cylinder with volume v1

So,

$2\pi\text{r}=\text{a}_1$

$\Rightarrow\text{r}=\frac{\text{a}_1}{2\pi}$

Volume $\text{V}_1=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}=\pi\Big(\frac{\text{a}_1}{2\pi}\Big)^2\text{a}_2=\frac{\text{a}^2_1\text{a}_2}{74\pi}$

Similarly, let sheet with length a2 be used to form cylinder with volume v2

So,

$2\pi\text{r}=\text{a}_1$

$\Rightarrow\text{r}=\frac{\text{a}_1}{2\pi}$

Volume $\text{V}_1=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}=\pi\Big(\frac{\text{a}_1}{2\pi}\Big)^2\text{a}_2=\frac{\text{a}^2_1\text{a}_2}{74\pi}$

Now, $\frac{\text{V}_1}{\text{V}_2}=\frac{\text{a}^2_1\text{a}_2}{\text{a}^2_2\text{a}_2}=\frac{\text{a}_1}{\text{a}_2}$

$\Rightarrow\text{V}_1\text{a}_2=\text{V}_2\text{a}_1$
