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
$1 : 6$
- ✓
$1 : 8$
AnswerCorrect 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 $\text{GF}=\frac{\text{r}}{2}$
$\frac{\text{Volume of smaller cone}}{\text{Volume of whole cone}}=\frac{\frac{1}{3}\pi\big(\frac{\text{r}}{2}\big)\times\big(\frac{\text{h}}{2}\big)}{\frac{1}{3}\pi(\text{r})^2\times\text{h}}$
$=\frac{\frac{\text{r}^2\text{h}}{8}}{\text{r}^2\text{h}}$
$=\frac{1}{8}=1:8$ View full question & answer→MCQ 21 Mark

- A
$1 : 2$
- B
$2 : 1$
- ✓
$1 : 4$
- D

AnswerCorrect option: C. $1 : 4$
Let the radius of the original cylinder $= r$
And its height $= h$
Now the radius of the reduced cylinder $=\frac{\text{r}}{2}$ and height $= h$
$\therefore\ \frac{\text{Volume of the reduced cylinder}}{\text{Volume of the original cylinder}}=\frac{\pi\big(\frac{\text{r}}{2}\big)^2\times\text{h}}{\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}}=\frac{1}{4}$
Hence, the ratio is $1 : 4.$

A sphere of diameter $18 \ cm$ is dropped into a cylindrical vessel of diameter $36 \ cm,$ partly filled with water. If the sphere is completely submerged, then the water level rises $($in $\ cm)$ by
Answer
Diameter of sphere $= 16\ cm$
Radius of the sphere $= 9\ cm$
Volume of the sphere $=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^3$
$=\frac{4}{3}\pi\times9\times9\times9$
$=972\pi\text{ cm}^3$
Diameter of the cylinder $= 36\ cm$
Radius of the cylinder $= 18\ cm$
Volume of the cylinder $=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
$=\pi\times18\times18\times\text{h}$
It is completely submerged so, their volume are equal.
$\therefore\ 972\pi=\pi\times18\times18\times\text{h}$
$\text{h}=\frac{972}{18\times18}$
$\text{h}=3$
$\therefore$ Rise in water $= 3\ cm.$ View full question & answer→MCQ 61 Mark

AnswerCorrect option: C. $3^{\frac23}$
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 $\text{(r)}=3^{\frac23}\text{ cm}$

$308\ cm^2$
- B
$462\ cm^2$
- C
$540\ cm^2$
- ✓
$770\ cm^2$
AnswerCorrect 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
$=2\pi\text{rh}+2\pi\text{r}^2$
$=2\pi\text{r}(\text{h}+\text{r})$
$=2\times\frac{22}{7}\times7\Big(\frac{21}{2}+7\Big)$

Now radius of cylinder so formed $= r$
and height $= 5\ cm$
$\therefore$ Volume $=\pi\text{r}^2\times5=5\pi\text{r}^2$
$\therefore\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}=5\pi\text{r}^2$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}\text{h}=5$
$\text{h}=5\times3=15\text{ cm}$

AnswerCorrect 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 $0.36\ cm^3$. View full question & answer→MCQ 151 Mark

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
$48\ cm$
AnswerCorrect 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 $=36 \mathrm{~cm}$

$(a)$ Number of cones formed $=\frac{\text{Volume of the sphere}}{\text{Volume of each cone}}$
$=\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^3}{\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}}$
$=\frac{4\text{r}}{\text{h}}$
$=\frac{4\times8}{4}$
$=8$
$(b)$ Volume of the earth dug out $=$ Volume of the cylinder
$=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
$=\frac{22}{7}\times7^2\times20$
Let the height of the platfrom be $h.$
Volume of the platfrom $=$ volume of the cuboid
$=44\times14\times\text{h}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{22}{7}\times7^2\times20=44\times14\times\text{h}$
$\Rightarrow3080=616\times\text{h}$
$\Rightarrow\text{h}=\frac{3080}{616}$
$\Rightarrow\text{h}=5\text{m}$
$(c)$ Volume of the sphere $=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi(6)^3$
Let $ h$ be the height of the cylinder.
Volume of the cylinder $=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
$=\pi(4)^2\text{h}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{4}{3}\pi(6)^3=\pi(4)^2\text{h}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}(6)^3=(4)^2\text{h}$

The number of solid spheres, each of diameter $6\ cm$ that could be moulded to form a solid metal cylinder of height $45\ cm$ and diameter $4\ cm,$ is :
AnswerDiameter of each sphere $= 6\ cm$
$\therefore$ Radius $\left(r_1\right)$
$=\frac{6}{2}=3\text{ cm}$
Volume $=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}_1^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi\times(3)^3\text{ cm}^3$
$=36\pi\text{ cm}^3$
Diameter of cylinder $= 4\ cm$
$\therefore$ Radius $\left(r_2\right)$
$=\frac{4}{2}=2\text{ cm}$
and height $(h) = 45\ cm$
$\therefore$ Volume $=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}=\pi\times(2)^2\times45\text{ cm}^3$
$=\pi\times4\times45=180\pi\text{ cm}^3$

- A
$3 : 4$
- B
$4 : 3$
- C
$9 : 16$
- ✓
$16 : 9$
AnswerCorrect 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 $\left.=4 \pi(\text { radius })^2\right]$
$=\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}$
$=\left(\frac{r^1}{r^2}\right)^2=\left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^2 \text { [using eq. (3)] }$
$=16: 9$
Hence, the required ratio of their surface area is $16: 9$.

A cubical ice $-$ cream brick of edge $22\ cm$ is to be distributed among some children by filling ice $-$ cream cones of radius $2\ cm$ and height $7\ cm$ up to the brim. How many children will get the ice $-$ cream cones?
AnswerGiven that the cubical ice cream brick $= 22^3$
Volume of each ice $-$ cream cone $=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
$=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times(2)^2\times7$
So, the number of ice $-$ cream cones

$=\frac{22\times22\times22}{\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times(2)^2\times7}$
$=\frac{22\times22\times22\times7\times3}{22\times4\times7}$
