A river $1.5m$ deep and $30m$ wide is flowing at the rate of $3\ km$ per hour. The volume of water that rims into the sea per minute is.
  • $2250\ m^3$
  • B
    $2750\ m^3$
  • C
    $2500\ m^3$
  • D
    $2000\ m^3$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$2250\ m^3$

Length of the river $= 1.5\ m$
Breadth of the river $= 30\ m$
Depth of the river $= 3\ km = 3000m$
Now, volume of water that runs into the sea $= 1. 5 × 30 × 3000\ m^3= 135000\ m^3$
$\therefore$ Volume of water that runs into the sea per minute $=\frac{135000}{60}=2250\text{m}^3$

Write the correct answer in the following: The radii of two cylinders are in the ratio of $2 : 3$ and their heights are in the ratio of $5 : 3.$ The ratio of their volumes is:
  • A
    $10 : 17.$
  • $20 : 27.$
  • C
    $17 : 27.$
  • D
    $20 : 37.$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$20 : 27.$

Let the radii of two cylinders be $2r$ and $3r$ respectively and their heights are in the ratio $5h$ and $3h.$ Their volumes be $\mathrm V_1$ and $\mathrm V_2$. Than,
$\frac{\text{V}_1}{\text{V}_2}=\frac{\pi(2\text{r})^2(5\text{h})}{\pi(3\text{r})^2(3\text{h})}=\frac{4\text{r}^2\times5\text{h}}{9\text{r}^2\times3\text{h}}=\frac{20}{27}$
Hence, $(b)$ is the correct answer.

Volume of cylinder $1, \text{v}_1=\pi\text{r}^2_1\text{h}_1$
Volume of cylinder $1, \text{v}_2=\pi\text{r}^2_2\text{h}_2$
$\frac{\text{v}_1}{\text{v}_2}=\frac{\text{r}^2_1}{\text{r}^2_2}\frac{\text{h}_1}{\text{h}_2}...(1)$
Now, $\mathrm {v}_1=\mathrm {v}_2$ and $\frac{\text{h}_1}{\text{h}_2}=\frac{1}{2}$
Hence, Equation $(1)$ reduces to
$1=\frac{\text{r}^2_1}{\text{r}^2_2}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{r}^2_2}{\text{r}^2_1}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{r}^2_1}{\text{r}^2_2}=2$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{r}^2_1}{\text{r}^2_2}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{1}$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}_1:\text{r}_2=\sqrt{2}:1$

The diameter of a roller, $1m$ long, is $84\ cm.$ If it takes $500$ complete revolutions to level a playground, the area of the playground is:
  • A
    $1440m^2$
  • $1320m^2$
  • C
    $1260m^2$
  • D
    $1550m^2$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$1320m^2$
The diameter of the roller $=84\text{cm}=\frac{84}{100}\text{m}$
So, the radius $=\frac{84}{200}\text{m}$
The area covered by the roller in $1$ revolution
$=2\pi\text{rh}$
$=2\times\frac{22}{7}\times\frac{84}{200}\times1$
$=2.64\text{m}^2$
$\therefore$ Area covered in $500$ complete revolution $= 500 × 2.64 = 1320m^2$
Thus, the area of the playground is $1320m^2$.

We have;
Here $A_1, A_2$ and $A_3$ are the area of three adjacent faces of a cuboid.
But the areas of three adjacent faces of a cuboid are $lb, bh$ and $hl$ where,
$I \rightarrow$ Length of the cuboid

We have to find the volume of the cuboid
Here,
$A _1 A_2 A_3=( lb )( bh )( hl )$
$=( lbh )( lbh )$
$= V ^2\{$Since,$V = Ibh \}$
$V =\sqrt{ A _1 A_2 A_3}$
Thus, volume of the cuboid is $\sqrt{ A _1 A_2 A_3}$.

  • A
    $\frac{24}{\sqrt{\pi}}$
  • $\frac{48}{\sqrt{\pi}}$
  • C
    $\frac{32}{\sqrt{\pi}}$
  • D
    $\frac{48}\pi$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{48}{\sqrt{\pi}}$
When sand is poured out, height dropped $= 3$ inches

Now, Volume vacant $=$ Volume of sand poured out $= 1$ cubic foot
$1$ foot $= 12$ inches
$1$ cubic foot $= 12 × 12 × 12$ inches $= 1728$ inches
Thus, We have
$3\pi\text{r}^2=1728$
$\Rightarrow\pi\text{r}^2=576$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}^2=\frac{576}{\pi}$
$\Rightarrow\text{r}=\frac{24}{\sqrt{\pi}}$
$⇒$ Diameter $= 2r =2\times\frac{24}{\sqrt{\pi}}=\frac{48}{\sqrt{\pi}}$

The formula of the volume of a cone with base radius $' r\ '$ and vertical height $' h\ '$ is given as Volume $=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h$
Let the base radius and the height of the two cones be $r_1, h_1$ and $r_2, h_2$ respectively
It is given that the ratio between the heights of the two cones is $1: 4$
Since only the ratio is given, to use them in our equation we introduce a constant $' k\ '$
So, $h_1=1 k$
$h _2=4 k$
It is also given that the ratio between the base radius of the two cones is $4: 1$
Again, since only the ratio is given, to use them in our equation we introduce another constant $' p\ '$
So, $r_1=4 p$
$r_2=1 p$
Substituting these values in the formula for volume of cone we get,
$\left(\frac{\text { Volume of cone } 1}{\text { Volume of cone } 1}\right)=\frac{(\pi)(4 p )(4 p )(1 k )(3)}{(3)(\pi)(1 p )(1 p )(4 k )}$
