- ✓
$3.5$
- B
$7$
- C
$\frac{80}{7}$
- D
$5$
AnswerSince the height of the cylinder is given to be $40\ cm,$
the sheet to paper when converted to a cylinder,
Has its circum ference to be $22\ cm.$
So, circum ference $= 22\ cm$
$\Rightarrow2\pi\text{r}=22$
$\Rightarrow2\times\frac{22}{7}\times\text{r}=22$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}=3.5\text{ cm}$
Hence, the radius of the cylinder is $3.5\ cm.$

$12$ spheres of the same size are made from melting a solid cylinder of $16\ cm$ diameter and $2\ cm$ height. The diameter of each sphere is :
- A
$\sqrt{3}\text{ cm}$
- B
$2\ cm$
- C
$3\ cm$
- ✓
$4\ cm$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $4\ cm$
Diameter of solid cylinder $=16 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\therefore \text { Radius }\left(\mathrm{r}_1\right)=\frac{16}{2}=8 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\text { Height }\left(\mathrm{h}_1\right)=2 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\therefore \text { Volume }=\pi \mathrm{r}^2 \mathrm{~h}=\pi \times 8 \times 8 \times 2 \mathrm{~cm}^3$
$=128 \pi \mathrm{cm}^3$
Now Volume $12$ sphere $=128 \pi\ \mathrm{cm}^3$
$\therefore$ volume of $1$ sphere $=\frac{128 \pi}{12}=\frac{32}{3} \pi\ \mathrm{cm}$
Let $r_2$ be its radius, then
$\frac{4}{3} \pi r_2^3=\frac{32}{3} \pi $
$\Rightarrow r_2^3=\frac{32 \pi}{3} \times \frac{3}{4 \pi}$
$\Rightarrow r^3=8=(2)^3 $
$\Rightarrow r=2$
$\therefore$ Radius of each sphere $=2 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\therefore$ Diameter $=2 r_2=2 \times 2=4 \mathrm{~cm}$.

AnswerCorrect option: A. $2 : 1$
Radius of the bigger sphere $= r \ cm$
Radius of the smallerer sphere $= r_1 \ cm$
$\frac{\text{Volume of bigger sphere}}{\text{Volume of smaller sphere}}=\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^3}{\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}_1^3}=\frac{\text{r}^3}{\text{r}_1^3}=8$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{\text{r}}{\text{r}_1}\Big)^3=\Big(\frac{2}{1}\Big)^3$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{\text{r}}{\text{r}_1}\Big)=\Big(\frac{2}{1}\Big)$
Hence $, r : r_1 = 2 : 1$

AnswerCorrect option: A. $154\sqrt{5}\text{ cm}^2$
Area of the base of the cone $= 154$
$\Rightarrow\pi\text{r}^2=154$
$\Rightarrow\frac{22}{7}\times\text{r}^2=154$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}^2=49$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}=7\text{ cm}$
$\text{l}=\sqrt{\text{r}^2+\text{h}^2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{l}=\sqrt{7^2+14^2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{l}=\sqrt{49+196}$
$\Rightarrow\text{l}=\sqrt{245}$
$\Rightarrow\text{l}=7\sqrt{5}\text{ cm}$
Curve surface area of the cone $=\pi\text{rl}$

- A
$1 : 3$
- B
$1 : 8$
- ✓
$1 : 9$
- D
$1 : 18$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $1 : 9$
The ratio of the volumes of the two cube is $1 : 27.$
Let the sides of the two cubes be $a$ and $b$.
So, $\frac{\text{a}^3}{\text{b}^3}=\frac{1}{27}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac{1}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}\Big)^2=\Big(\frac{1}{3}\Big)^2$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}^2}{\text{b}^2}=\frac{1}{9}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{6\text{a}^2}{6\text{b}^2}=\frac{1}{9}$
So, the ratio of the surface areas the two cubes is $1 : 9$

Choose the correct answer from the given four options : Twelve solid spheres of the same size are made by melting a solid metallic cylinder of base diameter $2\ cm$ and height $16\ cm$. The diameter of each sphere is :
- A
$4\ cm$
- B
$3\ cm$
- ✓
$2\ cm$
- D
$6\ cm$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $2\ cm$
Given, diameter of the cylinder $= 2\ cm$
$\therefore$ Radius $= 1\ cm$ and height of the cylinder $= 16\ cm$
$[\because\text{diameter}=2\times\text{radius}]$
$\therefore$ Volume of the cylinder $=\pi\times(1)^2\times16=16\pi\text{ cm}^3$
$\big[\because\text{volume of cylinder}=\pi\times(\text{radius})^2\times\text{height}\big]$
Now, let the radius of soild sphere $= r \ cm$
Volume of the twele solid sphere $=$ Volume of cylinder
$\Rightarrow\ \ 12\times\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^3=16\pi$
$\Rightarrow\ \ \text{r}^3=1$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{r}=1\text{ cm}$
$\therefore$ Diameter of each sphere $, d = 2r = 2 \times 1 = 2\ cm$
Hence, the required diameter of each sphere is $2\ cm.$

The radii of the circular ends of a frustum are $6\ cm$ and $14\ cm$. If its slant height is $10\ cm,$ then its vertical height is :
- ✓
$6\ cm$
- B
$8\ cm$
- C
$4\ cm$
- D
$7\ cm$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $6\ cm$
$r_1=14 \mathrm{~cm}, r_2=6 \mathrm{~cm}$
Slant height
$\mathrm{l}=10 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{~h}=?$
$\mathrm{l}=\sqrt{\mathrm{h}^2+\left(\mathrm{r}_1-\mathrm{r}_2\right)^2}$
$\mathrm{l}^2=\sqrt{\mathrm{h}^2+\left(\mathrm{r}_1-\mathrm{r}_2\right)^2}$
squaring on both sides
$h^2=l^2-\left(r_1-r_2\right)^2$
$h^2=(10)^2-(14-6)^2$
$h^2=100-64$
$h^2=36$

AnswerThe curved surface area of the cylinder $=2\pi\text{rh}$
$\Rightarrow264=2\pi\text{rh}$
Volume of the cylinder $=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
$\Rightarrow924=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
So, $\frac{264}{924}=\frac{2\pi\text{rh}}{\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{264}{924}=\frac{2}{\text{r}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}=\frac{924\times2}{264}$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}=7\text{m}$
So, $2\pi\text{rh}=264$
$\Rightarrow2\times\frac{22}{7}\times7\times\text{h}=264$
$\Rightarrow\text{h}=\frac{264}{44}$
$\Rightarrow\text{h}=6\text{m}$
Hence, the height of the pillar is $6m.$

Let the height of the smallr and cone be $h$ and $H$ respecti vely.
Let the radii of the smaller and larger cone be $r$ and $R$ respectively.
Given that the plane cuts the larger cone at the middle of its height.
So $, H = 2h ...(i)$
Consider, $\triangle\text{AQD}$ and $\triangle\text{APC},$
$\angle\text{QAD}-\angle\text{PAC} .... ($Common angle$)$
$\angle\text{AQD}=\angle\text{APC} .... (90^\circ $ angle$)$
$\therefore\triangle\text{AQD}\sim\triangle\text{APC} ....(\text{AA} $ criterion for similarity$)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{AQ}}{\text{AP}}=\frac{\text{QD}}{\text{PC}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{h}}{\text{H}}=\frac{\text{r}}{\text{R}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{h}}{2\text{h}}=\frac{\text{r}}{\text{R}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{r}}{\text{R}}=\frac{1}{2}$
That is $, R - 2r ...(ii)$
$\frac{\text{Volume of the smaller cone}}{\text{Volume of the larger cone}}$
$=\frac{\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}}{\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{R}^2\text{H}}$
$=\frac{\text{r}^2\text{h}}{(2\text{r})^2(2\text{h})}$
$=\frac{\text{r}^2\text{h}}{8\text{r}^2\text{h}}$
$=\frac{1}{8}$
Hence, the ratio of the volume of the smaller cone to the larger cone is $1 : 8$

- A
$50\%$
- B
$75\%$
- C
$100\%$
- ✓
$125\%$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $125\%$
Let the surface area of the cube $x.$
So, the surface area of the cube $= 6 x^2$
Since the edge og the cube is increased by $50\%$
The new sdge $=\text{x}+\frac{\text{x}}{2}=\frac{3\text{x}}{2}$
So, the new surface area $=6\Big(\frac{3\text{x}}{2}\Big)^2$
$=6\Big(\frac{9\text{x}^2}{4}\Big)$
$=\frac{27\text{x}^4}{2}$
Increase in the surface area $=\frac{27\text{x}^2}{2}-6\text{x}^2=\frac{15\text{x}^2}{2}$
Percentage increase $=\frac{\frac{15\text{x}^2}{2}}{6\text{x}^2}\times100$
