A solid right circular cone is cut into two parts at the middle of its height by a plane parallel to its base. The ratio of the volume of the smaller cone to the whole cone is :
  • A
    $1 : 2$
  • B
    $1 : 4$
  • C
    $1 : 6$
  • $1 : 8$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$1 : 8$

Let the radius of the given cone be $r$ and height be $h.$
$AD = h$ and $DC = r$
$\therefore\ \text{AG}=\frac{\text{h}}{2}$
In $\triangle\text{AGF}$ and $\triangle\text{ADC}$
$\angle\text{AFG}=\angle\text{ACD}$
$\big[\because\ \text{EF}\|\text{BC}\big]$
$\angle\text{AFG}=\angle\text{ADC}=90^\circ$
$\therefore\ \triangle\text{AGF}\sim\triangle\text{ADC}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{AG}}{\text{AD}}=\frac{\text{GF}}{\text{DC}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\frac{\text{h}}{2}}{\text{h}}=\frac{\text{GF}}{\text{DC}}$
$\therefore\ \frac{\text{GF}}{\text{DC}}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\therefore\ \frac{\text{GF}}{\text{r}}=\frac{1}{2}$
Or $\text{GF}=\frac{\text{r}}{2}$
$\frac{\text{Volume of smaller cone}}{\text{Volume of whole cone}}=\frac{\frac{1}{3}\pi\big(\frac{\text{r}}{2}\big)\times\big(\frac{\text{h}}{2}\big)}{\frac{1}{3}\pi(\text{r})^2\times\text{h}}$
$=\frac{\frac{\text{r}^2\text{h}}{8}}{\text{r}^2\text{h}}$
$=\frac{1}{8}=1:8$

The volume of a sphere $=12\pi\text{ cm}^3$
Let the radius of a sphere $= r$
To find, the radius of a sphere $(r) = ?$
We know that,
The volume of a sphere $=\frac43\pi\text{r}^3$
According to question,
$\therefore\frac43\pi\text{r}^3=12\pi$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}^3=\frac{12\times3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}^3=\frac{36}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}^3=9$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}=(3^2)^{\frac13}$
Using the identity,
$(\text{a}^{\text{m}})^{\text{n}}=\text{a}^{\text{mn}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}=3^{\frac23}\text{ cm}$
$\therefore$ The radius of a sphere $\text{(r)}=3^{\frac23}\text{ cm}$
Thus, the radius of a sphere $\text{(r)}=3^{\frac23}\text{ cm}$

The ratio between the radius of the base and the height of a cylinder is $2 : 3$. If its volume is $1617\ cm^3,$ the total surface area of the cylinder is :
  • A
    $308\ cm^2$
  • B
    $462\ cm^2$
  • C
    $540\ cm^2$
  • $770\ cm^2$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$770\ cm^2$
Let the radius of the cylinder be $2x$ and $3x.$
Volume of the cylinder $=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
$\Rightarrow1617=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
$\Rightarrow1617=\pi(2\text{x})^2(3\text{x})$
$\Rightarrow1617=\frac{22}{7}\times(12\text{x}^3)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{343}{8}=\text{x}^3$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{7}{2}$
So, radius $=2\Big(\frac{7}{2}\Big)=7\text{ cm}$ and height $=3\Big(\frac{7}{2}\Big)=\frac{21}{2}\text{ cm}$
Hence, the total surface area of the cylinder
$=2\pi\text{rh}+2\pi\text{r}^2$
$=2\pi\text{r}(\text{h}+\text{r})$
$=2\times\frac{22}{7}\times7\Big(\frac{21}{2}+7\Big)$
$=770\text{ cm}^2$

Let height of cone $= h$
and let $r$ be its radius
$\therefore$ Volume $=\Big(\frac{1}{3}\Big)\pi\text{r}^3\text{h}$
Now radius of cylinder so formed $= r$
and height $= 5\ cm$
$\therefore$ Volume $=\pi\text{r}^2\times5=5\pi\text{r}^2$
$\therefore\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}=5\pi\text{r}^2$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}\text{h}=5$
$\text{h}=5\times3=15\text{ cm}$

Choose the correct answer from the given four options : A medicine-capsule is in the shape of a cylinder of diameter $0.5\ cm$ with two hemispheres stuck to each of its ends. The length of entire capsule is $2\ cm$. The capacity of the capsule is :
  • $0.36\ cm^3$
  • B
    $0.35\ cm^3$
  • C
    $0.34\ cm^3$
  • D
    $0.33\ cm^3$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$0.36\ cm^3$
Given, diameter of cylinder $=$ Diameter of hemisphere $= 0.5\ cm$

$[$since, both hemispheres are attach with cylinder$]$
$\therefore$ Radius of cylinder $(r) =$ radius of hemisphere $(\text{r})=\frac{0.5}{2}=0.25\text{ cm}$
$[\because\text{diameter}=2\times\text{radius}]$
and total length of capsule $= 2\ cm$
$\therefore$ Length of cylindrical part of capsule,
$h =$ Length of capsule $-$ Radius of both hemispheres
$= 2 - (0.25 + 0.25) = 1.5\ cm$
Now, capacity of capsule $=$ Volume of cylindrical part $+ \ 2 \ \times$ Volume of hemisphere
$=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}+2\times\frac{2}{3}\pi\text{r}^3$
$\big[\because$ volume of cylinder $=\pi\times(\text{radius})^2 \times$ height and volume of hemispere $=\frac{2}{3}\pi(\text{radiud})^3\big]$
$=\frac{22}{7}\big[(0.25)^2\times1.5+\frac{4}{3}\times(0.25)^3\big]$
$=\frac{22}{7}[0.09375+0.0208]$
$=\frac{22}{7}\times0.11455=0.36\text{ cm}^3$
Hence, the capacity of capsule is $0.36\ cm^3$.

A cylindrical vessel $32\ cm$ high and $18\ cm$ as the radius of the base, is filled with sand. This bucket is emptied on the ground and a conical heap of sand is formed. If the height of the conical heap is $24\ cm,$ the radius of its base is :
  • A
    $12\ cm$
  • B
    $24\ cm$
  • $36\ cm$
  • D
    $48\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$36\ cm$
Radius of a cylindrical vessel $\left(r_1\right)=18 \mathrm{~cm}$ and height $\left(h_1\right)=32 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\therefore \text { Volume of sand filled in it }=\pi \mathrm{r}_1^2 \mathrm{~h}_1$
$=\pi(18)^2 \times 32=\pi \times 324 \times 32 \mathrm{~cm}^3$
$=10368 \pi \mathrm{cm}^3$
Now height of the conical heap $\left(\mathrm{h}_2\right)=24 \mathrm{~cm}$
Let $\mathrm{r}_2$ be its redius, then
$\frac{1}{3} \pi \mathrm{r}_2^2 \mathrm{~h}_2=10368 \pi$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} \pi \mathrm{r}_2^2 \times 24=10368 \pi$
$\Rightarrow 8 \pi \mathrm{r}_2^2=10368 \pi$
$\mathrm{r}_2^2=\frac{10368 \pi}{8 \pi}=1296$
$\therefore \mathrm{r}_2=\sqrt{1296}=36$
Hence radius of the base of the heap $=36 \mathrm{~cm}$

    Assertion $(A)$ is false and Reason $(R)$ is true.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Assertion $(A)$ is true and Reason $(R)$ is false.
$\text{l}\sqrt{\text{r}^2+\text{h}^2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{l}=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{l}=\sqrt{9+16}$
$\Rightarrow\text{l}=\sqrt{25}$
$\Rightarrow\text{l}=5\text{cm}$
Curved surface area of a cone
$=\pi\text{rl}$
$=\pi(3)(5)$
$=15\pi\text{ cm}^2$
So, the Assertion $(A)$ is true.
Volume of a cone $=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
So, the reason $(R)$ is false.

  • $16 : 9$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$16 : 9$
Let the radii of the two sphere are $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively
$\therefore$ Volume of the sphere of radius, $r_1=v_1$
$=\frac{4}{3} \pi r_1^3 \cdots(1)$
${\left[\because \text { Volume of sphere }=\frac{4}{3} \pi(\text { radius })^3\right]}$
and volume of the sohere of radius,
$\mathbf{r}_2=\mathbf{v}_2=\frac{4}{3} \pi \mathrm{r}_2^3...(2)$
Given, ratio of volume $=V_1: V_2$
$=64: 27$
$ \Rightarrow \frac{\frac{4}{3} \pi r_1^3}{\frac{4}{3} \pi \tau_2^3}=\frac{64}{27}$
$[$using eqs. $(1)$ and $(2)]$
$\Rightarrow \frac{r_1^3}{r_2^3}=\frac{64}{27} $
$\Rightarrow \frac{r_1}{r_2}=\frac{4}{3} \cdots$
Now, ratio of surface area $=\frac{4 \pi r_1^2}{4 \pi r_2^2}$
$\left[\because\right.$ surface area of a sphere $\left.=4 \pi(\text { radius })^2\right]$
$=\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}$
$=\left(\frac{r^1}{r^2}\right)^2=\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^2 \text { [using eq. (3)] }$
