The volumes of two spheres are in the ratio $64 : 27$ and the sum of their radii is $7\ cm.$ The difference in their total surface areas is:
  • A
    $38 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
  • B
    $58 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
  • C
    $78 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
  • $88 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$88 \mathrm{~cm}^2$

Let the radii be $x\ cm$ and $(7 - x)\ cm.$
Volume of the two spheres are in the ratio $64 : 27.$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{x}^3}{\frac{4}{3}\pi(7-\text{x})^3}=\frac{64}{27}$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{7-\text{x}}\Big)^3=\Big(\frac{4}{3}\Big)^3$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{7-\text{x}}=\frac{4}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=4\text{cm}$
So, their radii are $4\ cm$ and $3\ cm.$
Difference of their tital surface areas
$=4\pi(4)^2-4\pi(3)^2$
$=4\times\frac{22}{7}(16-9)$

How much cloth $2.5m$ wide will be required to make a conical tent having base radius $7m$ and height $24m?$
  • A
    $120m$
  • B
    $180m$
  • $220m$
  • D
    $550m$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$220m$
The amount of cloth required to make a tent is equal to the curved surface area of a cone.
$\text{l}=\sqrt{\text{r}^2+\text{h}^2}$
$\text{l}=\sqrt{7^2+24^2}$
$\text{l}=\sqrt{49+576}$
$\text{l}=25\text{m}$
Curved surface area of the cone $=\pi\text{rl}$
$=\frac{22}{7}\times7\times25$
$=550\text{m}^2$
Length of the cloth $=\frac{\text{area}}{\text{width}}$
$=\frac{550}{2.5}=220\text{m}$

A cone is $8.4\ cm$ high and the base is $2.1\ cm$. It is melted and recast into a sphere. The radius of the sphere is:
  • A
    $4.2\ cm$
  • $2.1\ cm$
  • C
    $2.4\ cm$
  • D
    $1.6\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$2.1\ cm$
Let the radius of the sphere be $r \ cm$
Since the cone is melted and recast into a sphere,
Volume of the sphere $=$ volume of the cone
$\Rightarrow\frac{4}{3}\pi\times\text{r}^3=\frac{1}{3}\pi\times(2.1)^2\times8.4$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}^3=2.1\times2.1\times2.1$

A sphere of diameter $12.6\ cm$ is melted and cast into a right circular cone of height $25.2\ cm$. The radius of the base of the cone is:
  • $6.3\ cm$
  • B
    $2.1\ cm$
  • C
    $6\ cm$
  • D
    $4\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: A.

  • A
    $1:\sqrt2$
  • $\sqrt2:1$
  • C
    $1:2$
  • D
    $1:4$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\sqrt2:1$

Let their heights be $x\ cm$ and $2x\ cm$ respectively and let their radii be $\text{R}_1$ and $\text{R}_2$ respectively.
$\Rightarrow\pi\text{R}_1^2\text{h}=\pi\text{R}_2^2\text{h}$
$\Rightarrow\pi\times\text{R}_1^2\times\text{x}=\pi\times\text{R}_2^2\times2\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}_1^2=\text{R}_2^2\times2$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{\text{R}_1}{\text{R}_2}\Big)^2=2$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{R}_1}{\text{R}_2}=\frac{\sqrt2}{1}$
$⇒$ Ratio of their radii is $\sqrt2:1$

The radius of a wire is decreased to one third. If volume remains the same, the length will become:
  • A
    $2$ times.
  • B
    $3$ times.
  • C
    $6$ times.
  • $9$ times.
Answer
Correct option: D.
$9$ times.
Let the radius of the wire be $r$ and the height be $h.$
So, the new radius $=\frac{1}{3}\text{r}$
Let the new height be $H.$
Note that the height of the wire is the same as the length of the wire.
Given that the volume remains the same.
So, $\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}=\pi\Big(\frac{1}{3}\text{r}\Big)^2\text{H}$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}^2\text{h}=\frac{1}{9}\text{r}^2\text{H}$
$\Rightarrow\text{h}=\frac{1}{9}\text{H}$
$\Rightarrow\text{H}=9\text{h}$
Thus, the length will become $9$ times the original length.

If the height and the radius of a cone are doubled, the volumes of the cone becomes:
  • A
    $3$ times.
  • B
    $4$ times.
  • C
    $6$ times.
  • $8$ times.
Answer
Correct option: D.
$8$ times.
The volume of a cone of height h and radius $r =\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}=\text{v}$

Let the original height of the cone be $h$ and the radius be $r.$
Volume of the cone $=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
New height is $2h$ and the radius is the same
So, the new volume of the cone $=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2(2\text{h})=\frac{2}{3}\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
