The volume of the greatest sphere that can be cut off from a cylindrical $\log$ of wood of base radius $1\ cm$ and height $5\ cm$ is :
- ✓
$\frac{4}{3}\pi$
- B
$\frac{10}{3}\pi$
- C
$5\pi$
- D
$\frac{20}{3}\pi$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $\frac{4}{3}\pi$
Radius of cylindrical $\log (r) = 1\ cm$
and height $(h) = 5\ cm$
The radius of the greatest sphere cut off from the cylindrical $\log$ will be $=$ radius of
the $\log = 1\ cm$
$\therefore$ Volume $=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^3$
$=\frac{4}{3}\pi(1)^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{ cm}^3$

The area of the base of a rectangular tank is $6500 \mathrm{~cm}^2$ and the volume of water contained in it is $2.6 \mathrm{~m}^3$. The depth of water in the tank is :
AnswerArea of the base of the rectangular tank
$=6500\text{cm}^2$
$=\frac{(6500)}{100^2}\text{m}^2$
Let the depth of the water be $h$ metres.
So, $\frac{(6500)}{(100^2)}\times\text{h}=2.6$
$\Rightarrow\text{h}=4\text{m}$
Hence, the depth of the water is $4m.$

- A
$12\ cm$
- ✓
$24\ cm$
- C
$30\ cm$
- D
$36\ cm$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $24\ cm$
Let radii of $3$ metallic spheres are $r_1=6 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\mathrm{r}_2=8 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\mathrm{r}_3=10 \mathrm{~cm}$
Volume of first sphere $=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}_1^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi(6)^3$
$=\frac{4}{3}\times216\pi\text{ cm}^3$
$=\frac{864}{3}\pi\text{cm}^3$
Volume of secound sphere
$=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}_2^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi\times(8)^3\text{ cm}^3$
$=\frac{4}{3}\times512\pi=\frac{2048}{3}\pi\text{ cm}^3$
Volume of third sphere
$=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}_3^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi(10)^3\text{ cm}^3$
$=\frac{4}{3}\pi\times1000=\frac{4000}{3}\pi\text{ cm}^3$
$\therefore$ Sum of volume of the $3$ sphere
$=\frac{864}{3}\pi+\frac{2048}{3}\pi+\frac{4000}{3}\pi$
$=\frac{864+2048+4000}{3}\pi=\frac{6912}{3}\pi\ \text{cm}^3$
Let $R$ be its radius, then
$\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{R}^3=\frac{6912\pi}{3}$
$\text{R}^3=\frac{6912\pi}{3}\times\frac{3}{4\pi}$
$=1728=(12)^3$
$\therefore R = 12\ cm$
$\therefore$ Diameter of the new sphere $= 2R $
$= 2 \times 12 = 24\ cm$

The diameter of a sphere is $6\ cm$. It is melted and drawn in to a wire of diameter $2\ mm$. The length of the wire is :
AnswerDiameter of sphere $= 6\ cm$
$\therefore$ Radius $(r) =\frac{6}{2}=3\text{ cm}$
Volume $=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi\times(3)^3\text{ cm}^3$
$=\frac{4}{3}\pi\times3\times3\times3=36\pi\text{ cm}^3$
Diameter of wire $= 2mm$
$\therefore$ Radius $(r) =\frac{2}{2}=1\text{ mm}=\frac{1}{10}\text{ cm}$
let $h$ be its length, then
$\pi\text{r}_2^2\text{h}=36\pi$
$\Rightarrow\pi\times\Big(\frac{1}{10}\Big)^2\text{h}=36\pi$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\pi}{100}\text{h}=36\pi$
$\Rightarrow\text{h}=\frac{36\pi\times100}{\pi}=3600\text{ cm}$
$\therefore$ height or lenght of wire $= 3600\ cm$
$=\frac{3600}{100}=36\text{m}$

AnswerCorrect option: A. $179\frac{2}{3}\text{ cm}^3$
Surface area of sphere $= 154 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
$4\pi^2=154$
$4\times\frac{22}{7}\text{r}^2=154$
$\text{r}^2=154\times\frac{7}{4\times22}$

A hollow sphere of internal and external diameters $4\ cm$ and $8\ cm$ respectively is melted into a cone of base diameter $8\ cm$. The height of the cone is :
- A
$12\ cm$
- ✓
$14\ cm$
- C
$15\ cm$
- D
$18\ cm$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $14\ cm$
Internal diameter of a hollow sphere $= 4\ cm$
and external diameter $= 8\ cm$
$\therefore$ Internal radius (r) $=\Big(\frac{4}{2}\Big)=2\text{ cm}$
and external radius $(R) =\Big(\frac{8}{2}\Big)=4\text{ cm}$
$\therefore$ Volume of metal used $=\Big(\frac{4}{3}\Big)\pi(\text{R}^3-\text{r}^3)$
$=\frac{4}{3}\pi(4^3-2^3)=\frac{4}{3}\pi(64-8)\text{cm}^3$
$=56\times\frac{4}{3}\pi=\frac{224}{3}\pi\ \text{ cm}^3$
$\therefore$ Volume of cone $=\frac{224}{3}\pi\ \text{ cm}^3$
Diameter of cone $= 8\ cm$
$\therefore$ Radius ($r_1$) $=\frac{8}{2}=4\text{ cm}$
$\therefore\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}_1^2\text{h}_1=\frac{224}{3}\pi$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}\pi(4)^2\text{h}_1=\frac{224}{3}\pi$
$\Rightarrow\frac{16}{3}\pi\text{h}_1=\frac{224}{3}\pi$
$\Rightarrow\text{h}_1=\frac{224\pi}{3}\times\frac{3}{16}\pi=14$
$\therefore$ Height of cone $= 14\ cm$

- ✓
$3\ cm$
- B
$4\ cm$
- C
$5\ cm$
- D

$\Rightarrow\text{h}=\frac{4\times9\times9\times9}{3\times18\times18}$
$\Rightarrow\text{h}=3\text{ cm}$
Hence, the water level rises by $3\ cm.$

- A
$47 \%$
- B
$470 \%$
- ✓
$4700 \%$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: C. $4700 \%$
(c) : We know that if length, breadth and height of a cuboid are made by $x, y$ and $z$ times respectively then volume be increased by
$
(x y z-1) \times 100 \% \text {. }

The volume of the largest right circular cone that can be carved out of a solid hemisphere of radius $r$ can be calculated as:
Radius of largest cone $=$ Radius of hemisphere $=$ $r$ (Step 1)
Height of largest cone $=$ Radius of hemisphere $=r$ (Step 2)
$\therefore \quad$ Volume of cone $=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 r=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^3$
(Step 3)In which step is there an error involving?
Answer(d) : Radius of largest cone $=$ Radius of hemisphere $=r$ (Step 1)
Height of largest cone $=$ Radius of hemisphere $=r$ (Step 2)
$\therefore \quad$ Volume of cone $=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 r=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{\prime}$ (Step 3)
