If the heights of two right circular cones are in the ratio $1 : 2$ and the perimeters of their bases are in the ratio $3 : 4$, what is the ratio of their volumes?
AnswerGiven that
ratio of height of right circular cones
$h_1: h_2 = 1 : 2$
ratio of base of perimeter
$2\pi\text{r}_1:2\pi\text{r}_2=3:4$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}_1:\text{r}_2=3:4$
therefore,
the ratio of volume of their cones
$=\text{v}_1:\text{v}_2=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2_1\text{h}_1:\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2_2\text{h}_2$
$=\frac{\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2_1\text{h}_1}{\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2_2\text{h}_2}$
$=\frac{\text{r}^2_1\text{h}_1}{\text{r}^2_2}=\Big(\frac{3}{4}^2\Big)\times\frac{1}{2}$
$=\frac{9}{32}$
$\Rightarrow\text{V}_1:\text{V}_2=9:32$
Hence, the ratio of their volumes are $9:32$

A well of diameter $3\ m$ is dug $14\ m$ deep. The earth taken out of it has been spread evenly all around it to a width of $4\ m$ to form an embankment. Find the height of the embankment.
AnswerThe inner radius of the well is $\frac{3}{2}\text{m}$ and the height is 14m. Therefore, the volume of the Earth taken out of it is
$\text{V}_1=\pi\times\Big(\frac{3}{2}\Big)^2\times14\text{m}^3$
The inner and outer radii of the embankment are $\frac{3}{2}\text{m}$ and $4+\frac{3}{2}=\frac{11}{2}$ respectively. Let the height of the embankment be h. Therefore, the volume of the embankment is
$\text{V}_2=\pi\times\Big\{\Big(\frac{11}{2}\Big)^2-\Big(\frac{3}{2}\Big)^2\Big\}\times\text{h m}^3$
Since, the volume of the well is same as the volume of the embankment; we have
$V_1 = V_2$
$\Rightarrow\pi\times\Big(\frac{3}{2}\Big)^2\times14=\pi\times\Big\{\Big(\frac{11}{2}\Big)-\Big(\frac{3}{2}\Big)^2\Big\}\times\text{h}$
$\Rightarrow\text{h}=\frac{9\times14}{112}$
$\Rightarrow\text{h}=\frac{9}{8}\text{m} $
Hence, the height of the embankment is $\text{h}=\frac{9}{8}\text{m}$

$=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}=\frac{22}{7}\times\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{7}{2}\text{m}^3$
$=\frac{99}{4}\text{m}^3$
Volume of water in half the tank
$=\frac{99}{4\times2}\times1000=\frac{9900}{8}\text{l}$
water flow at the rate of 225 l per min.
$\therefore$ Total time taken to empting the bank
$=\frac{99000}{8\times225}$

The height of a solid cylinder is $15\ cm$ and the diameter of its base is $7\ cm.$ Two equal conical holes each of radius $3\ cm$, and height $4\ cm$ are cut off. Find the volume of the remaining solid.
AnswerDiameter of the base of a cylinder $=7 cm$
$\therefore$ Radius $\left(r_1\right)=\left(\frac{7}{2}\right) cm$
Height of cylinder $\left(h_1\right)=15 cm$
$\therefore$ Volume of cylinder $=\pi r _1^2 h_1$
$=\frac{22}{7}\left(\frac{7}{2}\right)^2 \times 15 cm^3$
$=\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{49}{4} \times 15=\frac{1155}{2} cm^2$
Radius of each conical hole $\left(r_2\right)=3 cm$
anf height $\left(h_2\right)=4 cm$
Volume of 2 such conical holes
$=2 \times \frac{1}{3} \pi r_2^2 h _2$
$=\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times(3)^2 \times 4=\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 9 \times 4 cm^3$
$=\frac{528}{7} cm^3$
$\therefore \text { Volume of remaining solid }=\frac{1155}{2}-\frac{528}{7}$
$=\frac{8085-1056}{14}=\frac{7029}{14} cm^3$
$=502.07=502.1 cm^3$

A cone of radius 4cm is divided into two parts by drawing a plane through the mid point of its axis and parallel to its base. Compare the volumes of two parts.
AnswerLet h be the height of the given cone. One dividing the cone through the mid-point of its axis and parallel to its base into two parts, we obtain the following figure:
In two similar triagles OAB and DCB, we have $\frac{\text{OA}}{\text{CD}}=\frac{\text{OB}}{\text{BD}}$ This implies $\frac{4}{\text{r}}=\frac{\text{h}}{\frac{\text{h}}{2}}$
Therefore, r = 2
Therefore,
$\frac{\text{volume of the smaller cone}}{\text{Volume of the frustum of the cone}}$
$=\frac{\frac{1}{3}\pi\times(2)^2\times\Big(\frac{\text{h}}{2}\Big)}{\frac{1}{3}\pi\times\Big(\frac{\text{h}}{2}\Big)[4^2+2^2+4\times2]}=\frac{1}{7}$

Three cubes of a metal whose edges are in the ratio $3 : 4 : 5$ are melted and converted into a single cube whose diagonal is $12\sqrt{3}\text{cm}.$ Find the edges of the three cubes.
AnswerLet the edges of three cubes (in cm) be $3x, 4x$ and $5x$, respectively.
Volume of the cubes after melting is $= (3x)^3 + (4x)^3 + (5x)^3 = 216 \times 3\ cm^3$
Let a be the side of new cube so formed after melting. Therefore, $a^3 = 216x^3$
So, a = 6x, $\text{Diagonal}=\sqrt{\text{a}+\text{a}^2+\text{a}^2}=\text{a}\sqrt{3}$
But it is given that diagonal of that diagonal of the new cube is $12\sqrt{3}\text{cm}.$ Therefore, $\text{a}\sqrt{3}=12\sqrt{3},$
i.e. $a = 12$
This gives $x = 2$
Therefore, edges of the three cubes are $6\ cm, 8\ cm$ and $10\ cm$ respectively.

$500$ persons have to dip in a rectangular tank which is $80m$ long and $50m$ broad. What is the rise in the level of water in the tank, if the average displacement of water by a person is $0.04m^3$?
AnswerThe average displacement of water by a person is $0.04$ cubic m.
Hence, the total displacement of water in the rectangular tank by $500$ persons is $V = 500 \times 0.04 = 20$ Cubic m.
The length and width of the rectangular tank are 80m and 50m respectively. Upon dipping in the tank, let the height of the raised water is be h m. Therefore, the volume of the raised
water is $V_1 = 80 \times 50 \times h$
$= 4000h$ cubic m
Since, the volume of the raised water is same as the volume of the water displaced by 500 persons, we have
$V_1 = V$
$\Rightarrow 4000h = 20$
$\Rightarrow\text{h}=\frac{20}{4000}$
$\Rightarrow 0.005$
Therefore, the water will be raised by $0.005m$ or $0.5cm$

Now, the ratio of their curved surface area
$\text{S}_1:\text{S}_2=2\pi\text{r}_1\text{h}_1:2\pi\text{r}_2\text{h}_2$

The difference between outside and inside surface areas of cylindrical metallic pipe $14\ cm$ long is $44m^2$. If the pipe is made of $99cm^3$ of metal, find the outer and inner radii of the pipe.
AnswerLet inner radius of pipe be $r_1$
Radius of outer cylinder be $r_2$
Length of cylinder $(h) = 14\ cm.$
Surface area of hollow cylinder $(r_2 - r_1)$ $=2\pi$
Given surface area of cylinder $= 44m^2$
$2\pi\text{Rh}-2\pi\text{r}\text{h}=44$
$2\pi\text{h}(\text{R}-\text{r})=44$
$2\times\frac{22}{7}\times14(\text{R}-\text{r})=44$
$\text{R}-\text{r}=\frac{44\times7}{2\times22\times14}$
$\text{R}-\text{r}=\frac{1}{2}\ ...(1)$
Now,
Volume of pipe $= 99cm^3$
$\pi\text{R}^2\text{h}-\pi_2\text{r}^2\text{h}=99$
$\pi\text{h}(\text{R}^2-\text{r}^2)=99$
$(\text{R}^2-\text{r}^2)=\frac{99}{\pi\times\text{h}}$
$(\text{R}+\text{r})(\text{R}-\text{r})=\frac{99\times7}{22\times14}$
$(\text{R}+\text{r})(\text{R}-\text{r})=\frac{99}{22\times2}$
Putting value of $\text{R}-\text{r}=\frac{1}{2}$
$(\text{R}+\text{r})\frac{1}{2}=\frac{99}{22\times2}$
$(\text{R}+\text{r})=\frac{9}{2}\ ...(2)$
Adding equation (1) and (2)
$\text{R}-\text{r}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\text{R}+\text{r}=\frac{9}{2}$
$2\text{R}=5$
$\text{R}=2.5$
And $\text{r}=\frac{9}{2}-\frac{5}{2}$
$\text{r}=2\text{cm}$

Curved surface area of hemisphere
$\text{S}_1=2\pi\text{r}^2$
And the curved surface area of the cone
$\text{S}_2=\pi\text{rl}$
Now,
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{S}_1}{\text{S}_2}=\frac{2\pi\text{r}^2}{\pi\text{rl}}=\frac{2\pi\text{r}^2}{\pi\text{r}\sqrt{2}\text{r}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{S}_1}{\text{S}_2}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{1}$
Hence, the required ratio are $\sqrt{2}:1$

A hollow sphere of internal and external radii $2\ cm$ and $4cm$ respectively is melted into a cone of base radius $4\ cm$. Find the height and slant height of the cone.
AnswerThe internal and external radii of the hollow sphere are 2cm and 4cm respectively. Therefore, the volume of the hollow sphere is,
$\text{V}=\frac{4}{3}\pi\{(4)^3-(2)^3\}$
$=\frac{4}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times56$
$=\frac{32\times22}{3}$
The hollow sphere is melted to produce a right circular cone of base-radius 4cm. Let, the height and slant height of the cone be h cm and l cm respectively. Then, we have,
$\text{l}^2=(4)^2+\text{h}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{l}^2=16+\text{h}^2$
The volume of the cone is,
$\text{V}_1=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2_1\text{h}_1$
$=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times(4)^2\times\text{h}$
Since, the volume of the cone and hollow sphere are same, we have
$V_1 = V$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times(4)^2\times\text{h}=\frac{32\times22}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{7}\times(4)^2\times\text{h}=32$
$\Rightarrow\text{h}=\frac{32\times7}{16}$
$\Rightarrow\ =14$
Then, we have
$\text{l}^2=16+(14)^2$
$\Rightarrow\ =212$
$\Rightarrow\text{l}=14.56$
Therefore, the height and the slant height of the cone are $14\ cm$ and $14.56\ cm$ respectively.

AnswerGiven that, side of a solid cube $(a) = 7\ cm$
Height of conical cavity i.e., cone, $h = 7\ cm$

Since, the height of conical cavity and the side of cube is equal that means the conical cavity fit vertically in the cube.
Radius of conical cavity i. e., cone, $r = 3\ cm$

Since, the diameter is less than the side of a cube that means the base of a
conical cavity is not fit inhorizontal face of cube.

and volume of conical cavity i.e., cone
$=\frac{1}{3}\pi\times\text{r}^2\times\text{h}$
$=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times3\times3\times7=66\text{cm}^3$

$\text{S}_1=2\pi\text{r}(\text{h}+\text{r})$
The total surface area of cone
$\text{s}_2=2\pi\text{r}(\text{l}+\text{r})$
Now,

Water flows through a cylindrical pipe, whose inner radius is $1\ cm$, at the rate of $80\ cm/sec$ in an empty cylindrical tank, the radius of whose base is $40\ cm$.
What is the rise of water level in tank in half an hour?
AnswerGiven, radius of tank, $r_1 = 40\ cm$
Let height of water level in tank in half an hour $= h_1$
Also, given internal radius of cylindrical pipe, $r_1 = 1\ cm$
and speed of water $= 80\ cm/s$ in $1$ water flow $= 80\ cm$
$\therefore$ In $30$ (min) water flow $= 80 \times 60 \times 30 = 144000\ cm$
According to the question,
Volume of water in cylindrical tank = Volume of water flow the circular pipe in half an hour
$\Rightarrow\pi\text{r}^2_1\text{h}_1=\pi\text{r}^2_1\text{h}_2$
$\Rightarrow40\times40\times\text{h}_1=1\times144000$
$\therefore\text{h}_1=\Big(\frac{144000}{40\text{x}40}\Big)=90\text{cm}$
Hence, the level of water in cylindrical tank rises $90\ cm$ in half an hour.

Water in a canal $1.5\ m$ wide and 6m deep is flowing with a speed of $10\ km/hr$. How much area will it irrigate in $30$ minutes if $8\ cm$ of standing water is desired?
AnswerThe canal is $1.5\ m$ wide and $6\ m$ deep.
The water is flowing in the canal at $10\ km/hr$.
Hence, in $30$ minutes, the length of the flowing standing water is
$=10\times\frac{30}{60}\text{km}$
$= 5\ km$
$= 5000\ m$
Therefore, the volume of the flowing water in $30$ min is
$V_1 = 5000 \times 1.5 \times 6m^3$
Thus, the irrigated area in $30$ min of$ 8cm = 0.08m$ standing water is

Therefore,
Height of conical portion = 2 × diameter of its bars
Let the diameter of bare = r
Height = 2r
Therefore,
Volume of the cones
$=\frac{1}{3}\pi\Big(\frac{\text{r}}{2}\Big)^2\text{h}+\frac{2}{3000}\pi\text{r}^3$
$=\frac{1}{3}\pi\Big(\frac{\text{r}}{2}\Big)^2(\text{h}+2\text{r})$

The slant height of the frustum of a cone is $5\ cm$. If the difference between the radii of its two circular ends is $4\ cm$, write the height of the frustum.
AnswerLet $r_1$ and $r_2$ be the radius of frustum ends.
$r_1 - r_2 = 4\ cm$
Slant height of the frustum cone
$l = 5\ cm$
$\Rightarrow\text{l}=\sqrt{\text{h}^2+(\text{r}_1-\text{r}_2)^2}$
$=5=\sqrt{\text{h}^2+4^2}$
Squaring both the sides.
$\Rightarrow 25 = h^2 + 16$
$\Rightarrow h^2 = 25 - 16$
$\Rightarrow h^2 = 9cm$
$\Rightarrow h = 3cm$
Hence, the height of frustum is $3\ cm$

AnswerGiven, length of roof = 22m and breadth of roof = 20m
Let the rainfall be a cm.
Volume of water on the roof $=22\times20\times\frac{\text{a}}{100}=\frac{22\text{a}}{5}\text{m}^3$

AnswerLet total height of the building = Internal diameter of the dome = 2m

Radius of building (or dome) $=\Big(\frac{2\text{r}}{2}\Big)=\text{r}\ \text{m}$
Height of cylinder = 2r - r = r m
$\therefore$ Volume of the cylinder $=\pi\text{r}^2(\text{r})=\pi\text{r}^3\text{m}^3$
and volume of hemispherical dome cylinder $=\frac{2}{3}\pi\text{r}^3\text{m}^3$
$\therefore$ Total volume of the building = volume of the cylinder + volume of hemispherical dome.
$=\Big(\pi\text{r}^3+\frac{2}{3}\pi\text{r}^3\Big)\text{m}^3=\frac{5}{3}\pi\text{r}^3\text{m}^3$
According to the condition,
Volume of the building = volume of the air
$\Rightarrow\frac{5}{3}\pi\text{r}^3=41\frac{19}{21}\Rightarrow\frac{5}{3}\pi\text{r}^3=\frac{880}{21}$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}^3=\frac{880\times7\times3}{21\times22\times5}=\frac{40\times21}{21\times5}=8$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}^3=8\Rightarrow\text{r}=2$

$\pi\text{r}_1^2\text{h}_1=\pi\text{r}_2^2\text{h}_2$
$\Big(\frac{\text{r}_1}{\text{r}_2}\Big)^2=\frac{\text{h}_2}{\text{h}_1}$
$(\text{h}_1:\text{h}_2=1:2,\ \text{given})$
$\Big(\frac{\text{r}_1}{\text{r}_2}\Big)^2=\Big(\frac{2}{1}\Big)$
$\text{r}_1:\text{r}_2=\sqrt{2}:1$

A toy is in the form of a cone of radius 3.5cm mounted on a hemisphere of same radius. The total height of the toy is 15.5cm. Find the total surface area of the toy.
AnswerRadius of cone (r) = 3.5cm
Total height of the toy = 15.5cm

Height of the conical part (h) = 15.5 – 3.5 = 12cm
$\therefore$ Slant height of the cone (l)
$=\sqrt{\text{r}^2+\text{h}^2}=\sqrt{(3.5)^2+(12)^2}$
$=\sqrt{12.25+144}=\sqrt{156.25}=12.5\text{cm}$
Now total srrface area of the toy = curved surface area of the conical part + curved surface area of hemispherical part.
$=\pi\text{rl}+2\pi\text{r}^2=\pi\text{r}(\text{l}+2\text{r})$
$=\frac{22}{7}\times3.5\ (12.5+2\times3.5)\text{cm}^2$
$=\frac{22}{7}\times\frac{7}{2}(12.5+7)\text{cm}^2$
$=11(19.5)=214.5\text{cm}^2$ View full question & answer→
