Answer
Correct option: B.
$2.1\ cm$
Given, height of a cone $= 8.4\ cm$
Radius of the base of cone $= 2.1\ cm$
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 $2.1\ cm.$

$18$
We have the cuboid of dimensions $10\ cm × 9\ cm × 6\ cm.$
We are to find how many cubs with edge $3\ cm$ can be cut from the given cuboid
Let us cut this cuboid into following two cuboids
$9\ cm × 9\ cm × 6\ cm$
And
$1\ cm × 9\ cm × 6\ cm$
So, the number of cubes of sides $3\ cm$, that can be cut from the firest cuboid,
$=\frac{9\text{cm}\times9\text{cm}\times6\text{cm}}{3\text{cm}\times3\text{cm}\times3\text{cm}}$

  • B
    $\frac{\text{V}_1}{\text{a}_1}=\frac{\text{v}_2}{\text{a}_2}$
  • C
    $a_1 v_1=a_2 v_2$
  • D
    $v _1= v _2$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$a_2 v_1=a_1 v_2$
Let the radius of the base of the cylinder be $r$ and $R$.
Now, let sheet with length $a_1$ be used to form a cylinder with volume $v_1$
So,
$2 \pi r=a_1$
$\Rightarrow r=\frac{a_1}{2 \pi}$
Volume $V _1=\pi r ^2 h=\pi\left(\frac{ a _1}{2 \pi}\right)^2 a _2=\frac{ a _1^2 a _2}{74 \pi}$
Similarly, let sheet with length $a_2$ be used to form cylinder with volume $v _2$
So,
$2 \pi r=a_1$
$\Rightarrow r=\frac{a_1}{2 \pi}$
Volume $V _1=\pi r ^2 h=\pi\left(\frac{ a _1}{2 \pi}\right)^2 a _2=\frac{ a _1^2 a _2}{74 \pi}$
Now, $\frac{v_1}{V_2}=\frac{a_1^2 a_2}{a_2^2 a_2}=\frac{a_1}{a_2}$
$\Rightarrow V _1 a _2= V _2 a _1$
