Question 12 Marks
A cylinder of radius $12\ cm$ contains water to a depth of $20\ cm$. A spherical iron ball is dropped into the cylinder and thus the level of water is raised by $6.75\ cm$. Find the radius of the ball. $\Big(\text{Use }\pi=\frac{22}{7}\Big).$
Answer
Given that: Radius of the cylinder $= 12\ cm = r_1$
Volume of water raised = Volume of the sphere $=\pi\text{r}^2_1\text{h}=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^3_2$
$=12\times12\times6.75=\frac{4}{3}\text{r}^3_2$
$=\text{r}^3_2=\frac{12\times12\times6.75\times3}{4}$
$=\text{r}^3_2=729$
$=\text{r}_2=9\text{cm}$ Radius of the sphere is $9\ cm$

Question 22 Marks
A cone and a hemisphere have equal bases and equal volumes. Find the ratio of their heights.
Answer
Given that Volume of the cone = Volume of the hemisphere $\frac{1}{3\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}}=\frac{2}{3\pi\text{r}^3}$
$\text{r}^2\text{h}=2\text{r}^3$
$\text{h}=2\text{r}$
$\frac{\text{h}}{\text{r}}=\frac{1}{1}\times2=2$
Therefore Ratio of their heights $= 2 : 1$

Question 32 Marks
A hemispherical tank has the inner radius of $2.8\ m$. Find its capacity in liters.
Answer
Radius of the tank $= 2.8\ m$
Therefore Capacity $=\frac{2}{3\pi\text{r}^3}$
$=\frac{2}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times(2.8)^3=45.994\text{m}^2$
$1\text{m}^3=1000\mid$
Therefore capacity in litres $= 45994$ litres

Question 42 Marks
A metallic sphere of radius $10.5\ cm$ is melted and thus recast into small cones, each of radius $3.5\ cm$ and height $3\ cm$. Find how many cones are obtained.
Answer
Given that
Metallic sphere of radius $= 10.5cm$
Cone radius $= 3.5cm$
Height of radius$ = 3cm$
Let the number of cones obtained be $x$
$\text{v}_\text{s}=\text{x}\times\text{v}\text{ cone}$
$\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^3=\text{x}\times\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
$\text{x}=\frac{4\times10.5\times10.5\times10.5}{3.5\times3.5\times3}$
$\text{x}=126$
Therefore number of cones $= 126$

Question 62 Marks
How many bullets can be made out of a cube of lead, whose edge measures $22\ cm$, each bullet being $2\ cm$ in diameter?
Answer
Cube edge $= 22cm$
Therefore volume of the cube $= (22)^3$ $= 10648cm^3$ And,
Volume of each bullet $=\frac{4}{3\pi\text{r}^3}$
$=\frac{4}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times(1)^3$

Answer
Given that
A cone and a hemisphere have equal bases and volumes
$\mathrm{v}_{\text {cone }}=\mathrm{v}_{\text {hemisphere }}$

Question 122 Marks
A cone, a hemisphere, and a cylinder stand on equal bases and have the same height. Show that their volumes are in the ratio $1 : 2 : 3.$
Answer
Given that,
A cone, a hemisphere and a cylinder stand on one equal bases and have the same weight.
We know that
$\mathrm{V}_{\text {cone }}: \mathrm{V}_{\text {hemisphere }}: \mathrm{V}_{\text {cylinder }}$
$\frac{1}{3} \pi \mathrm{r}^2 \mathrm{~h}: \frac{2}{3} \pi \mathrm{r}^3: \pi \mathrm{r}^2 \mathrm{~h}$
Multiplying by 3
$\pi r^2 h: 2 \pi r^3: 3 \pi r^2 h$
$\pi r^3: 2 \pi r^3: 3 \pi r^3\left(\therefore r=h \text { and } r^2 h=r^3\right)$
$1: 2: 3$ Therefore the ratio is $1: 2: 3$

Question 152 Marks
Find the radius of a sphere whose surface area is $154 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Answer
In the given problem, we have to find the radius of a sphere whose surface area is given.
Surface area of the sphere $(S)=154 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Let the radius of the sphere be $rcm$
Now, we know that surface area of the sphere $=4 \pi \mathrm{r}^2$
So,
$154=4\left(\frac{22}{7}\right)(\mathrm{r})^2$
$\mathrm{r}^2=\frac{(154)(7)}{(4)(22)}$
$\mathrm{r}^2=12.25$
Further, solving for $r$
$\mathrm{r}=\sqrt{12.25}$
$\mathrm{r}=3.5$
Therefore, the radius of the given sphere is $3.5 \ cm .$

A cylinder whose height is two thirds of its diameter has the same volume as a sphere of radius $4\ cm$. Calculate the radius of the base of the cylinder.
Answer
Given that
Height of the cylinder $=\frac{2}{3\text{ diameter}}$
We know that
Diameter $= 2$(radius)
$\text{h}=\frac{2}{3}\times2\text{r}=\frac{4}{3\text{r}}$
Volume of the cylinder = Volume of the sphere
