$\Rightarrow 1232=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times \mathrm{r}^2 \times 24$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{r}^2=\frac{7 \times 3 \times 1232}{24 \times 22}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{r}^2=49$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{r}=7 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{r}=7 \mathrm{~cm} \text { and } \mathrm{h}=24 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\mathrm{l}^2=\mathrm{r}^2+\mathrm{h}^2$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{l}^2=7^2+24^2$

Let the radius be $2x$ and the height be $3x\ cm.$
We know that,
Volume of the cylinder $=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
$=\pi\times(2\text{x})^2\times3\text{x}$
$=\frac{22}{7}\times12\times\text{x}^3$
$\Rightarrow1617=\frac{22}{7}\times12\text{x}^3$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^3=\frac{7\times1617}{22\times12}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^3=\frac{7\times49}{2\times4}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^3=\frac{343}{8}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^3=\Big(\frac{7}{2}\Big)^3$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{7}{2}$
$\therefore$ radius $=2\times\frac{7}{2}=7\text{cm}$
Height $=3\times\frac{7}{2}=\frac{21}{2}\text{cm}$

In a cylinder, if the radius is halved and the height is doubled, then the volume will be:
AnswerLet original radius be $r\ cm$ and the original height be $h\ cm.$
$⇒$ Original volume $=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$

The diameter of the roller $=84 \mathrm{~cm}=\frac{84}{100} \mathrm{~m}$
So, the radius $=\frac{84}{200} \mathrm{~m}$
The area covered by the roller in $1$ revolution
$=2 \pi \mathrm{rh}$
$=2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{84}{200} \times 1$
$=2.64 \mathrm{~m}^2$
$\therefore$ Area covered in $500$ complete revolution $=500 \times 2.64=1320 \mathrm{~m}^2$
Thus, the area of the playground is $1320 \mathrm{~m}^2$.

The height of a cone is $21 \ cm$ and its slant height is $28 \ cm .$ The volume of the cone is:
- A
$7356 \mathrm{~cm}^3$
- ✓
$7546 \mathrm{~cm}^3$
- C
$7506 \mathrm{~cm}^3$
- D
$7564 \mathrm{~cm}^3$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $7546 \mathrm{~cm}^3$
Let $r$ be the radius of the cone.
$l^2=h^2+r^2$
$\Rightarrow r^2=l^2-h^2$
$=28^2-21^2$
$=49 \times 7$
$\Rightarrow r=7 \sqrt{7} \mathrm{~cm}$
Volume of the cone $=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h$
$\Rightarrow$ Volume of the cone $=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times(7 \sqrt{7})^2 \times 21$
$\Rightarrow$ Volume of the cone $=7546 \mathrm{~cm}^3$

The height of a cone is $24\ cm$ and the diameter of its base is $14\ cm.$ The curved surface area of the cone is:
- A
$528 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
- ✓
$550 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
- C
$616 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
- D
$704 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $550 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
The height of the cone is $24\ cm$ and the diameter of its base is $14\ cm$
So, its radius $= 7\ cm$
$\text{l}=\sqrt{\text{r}^2+\text{h}^2}$
$\text{l}=\sqrt{7^2+24^2}$
$\text{l}=\sqrt{49+576}$
$\text{l}=25\text{cm}$
So, curved surface area of the cone $=\pi\text{r}=\frac{22}{7}\times7\times25=550\text{cm}^2$

How many lead shots, each $0.3\ cm$ in diameter, can be made from a cuboid of dimension $9\ cm × 11\ cm × 12\ cm?$
- A
$7200$
- B
$8400$
- C
$72000$
- ✓
$84000$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $84000$
Let the number of lead shots be $n.$
Volume of the cuboid $= n\ ×$ volume of each lead shot
$\Rightarrow9\times11\times12=\text{n}\times\frac{4}{3}\pi\Big(\frac{0.3}{2}\Big)^3$ $...\Big(\text{since}\ \text{radius}=\frac{0.3}{2}\text{cm}\Big)$

$\Rightarrow\text{n}=84000$
Thus, there are $84000$ lesd shots.

The number of coins $1.5\ cm$ in diameter and $0.2\ cm$ thick to be melted to form a right circular cylinder of height $10\ cm$ and diameter $4.5\ cm$ is:
AnswerLet the required number of coins be $n.$
Since the n coins are melted form a right circular cylinder,
$\text{n}\times\pi\times\Big(\frac{1.5}{2}\Big)^2\times0.2=\pi\times\Big(\frac{4.5}{2}\Big)^2\times10$
$\Rightarrow\text{n}\times\Big(\frac{15}{10}\Big)^2\times\frac{2}{10}=\Big(\frac{45}{20}\Big)^2\times10$
$\Rightarrow\text{n}\times\frac{9}{16}\times\frac{2}{10}=\frac{81}{16}\times10$
$\Rightarrow\text{n}=\frac{81\times10\times16\times10}{16\times9\times2}$

$2.2 \mathrm{dm}^3$ of lead is to be drawn into a cylindrical wire $0.50\ cm$ in diameter. The length of the wire is:
- A
$110m$
- ✓
$112m$
- C
$98m$
- D
$124m$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $112m$
We know that $1 \mathrm{dm}=10 \mathrm{~cm}$.
Given that $2.2 \mathrm{dm}^3$ is drawn into a cylindrical wire.
That is, $(2.2 \times 1000)=2200 \mathrm{~cm}^3$ is drawn into a cylindrical wire.
Let the radius of the wire be $r$ and the height be $h$.
Volume of the cylindrical $=2200$
$\Rightarrow \pi \mathrm{r}^2 \mathrm{~h}=2200$
$\Rightarrow \frac{22}{7} \times 0.25 \times 0.25 \times \mathrm{h}=2200 \ldots($ Since the diameter $=0.50 \mathrm{~cm})$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{h}=11200 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{h}=112 \mathrm{~m}$
So, the length of the wire is $112 m .$

- A
$50\%$
- B
$75\%$
- C
$100\%$
- ✓
$125\%$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $125\%$
Let each edge be $a$
$⇒$ its surface area $= 6a^2$
Now,
New edge $= 150\%$ of a
$=\frac{150}{100}\times\text{a}$
$=\frac{3\text{a}}{2}$
New surface area $=6\times\Big(\frac{3\text{a}}{2}\Big)^2$

$=\frac{27\text{a}^2-12\text{a}^2}{2}$
$=\frac{15\text{a}^2}{2}$
Percentage increase in its surface area
$=\frac{\text{Increase}\ \text{in}\ \text{the}\ \text{surface}\ \text{area}}{\text{original}\ \text{surface}}\times100$
$=\frac{15\text{a}^2}{2}\times\frac{1}{6\text{a}^2}\times100$

- A
$1 : 2$
- ✓
$2 : 1$
- C
$4 : 1$
- D
$\sqrt2:1$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $2 : 1$
Let the radius of each be $r.$
