Answer: Option B. -> 2:3
:
B

Given that, the radius of the sphere is r.
Since the cricket ball fits exactly inside the cylinder tin, the height of the cylinder (h) will be equal to the diameter of the ball .
h=2r
Ratio of their surface areas
=Surface area of ballSurface area of cylindrical tin
=4 π r22 π r(r+h)
=2rr+h
=2rr+2r
=23 
=2:3
Hence, required ratio is 2:3


Question 32.


If the radius of a cylinder is reduced by 50%, then the volume of the cylinder will be reduced by_____.


  1.     25%
  2.     50%
  3.     75%
  4.     40%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 75%
:
C

Let the radius of the old cylinder be R and that of the new cylinder be r.
Then, r=R2
Volume of old cylinder=πR2h
Volume of new cylinder=πr2h
=π×(R2)2×h
=π×R2×h4
Hence, reduction in volume
=Volume of old cylinder - volume of new cylinder
=πR2hπ×R2×h4=34πR2h
Percentage reduction
=Reduction in volumeVolume of old cylinder×100
=34πR2hπR2h×100
=75%


Question 33.


27 spherical iron balls of radius 5 cm each are melted and recasted into a big sphere.The radius of the big sphere is _____.


  1.     3 cm
  2.     9 cm 
  3.     15 cm 
  4.     5 cm 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 15 cm 
:
C

Volume of the big iron ball will be equal to the volume of  27 small iron balls.
Let the radius of the big sphere be R cm.
Let the radius of the small sphere be
r cm = 5 cm.


 43×πR3=27×(43×πr3)
R3=27r3


R=3r=3×5=15 cm.


Question 34.


Pavan built a conical flask using 550 m2 of aluminium sheet. If the radius of the flask is 7 m, then how much water can be filled in the flask(in litres)? [The bottom of the flask is of another material.]


  1.     1232 litres 
  2.     1232000 litres
  3.     12300 litres
  4.     123 litres
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1232000 litres
:
B

The area of aluminium sheet = Curved surface area of flask
550 m2=πrl
550=227×7×l 
550=22l 
l=25 m 


Now, height of flask
h=(l2r2)
h=25272
h=24 m
 


Hence, the volume of conical flask
=13 πr2h
=13×227×72× 24
=1232 m3 


We know that 1 m 3=1000 litres 


So, volume in litres =1232000 litres


Question 35.


Raghu needs to make a cylindrical aluminum tube. What will be the area of the aluminum sheet required to make the tube, if the length and radius of the tube should be 1 m and  3.5 cm respectively [Top and bottom of the tube are of another material]?
(use π=227)


  1.     2200 m2
  2.     220 m2
  3.     2200 cm2
  4.     220 cm2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2200 cm2
:
C

Given that,
Radius of the tube = 3.5 cm
Length of the tube = 1 m = 100 cm
Curved surface area of cylindrical tube
=2πrh
=2×227×3.5×100    
=2×22×0.5×100
 =2200 cm2 
Hence, the required area of the aluminium sheet is 2200 cm2.


Question 36.


Pavan filled water in a cylindrical vessel of radius 7cm and height 14cm. Then he gently dropped a spherical ball of radius 0.7cm. By how much should the height be increased if he doesn't want water to overflow when the spherical ball is dropped into it? Give the answer in micrometres and correct up to 2 decimal places.


___
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2200 cm2
:

Water that will flow out will be equal to the volume of spherical ball dropped into the vessel.
So,


43 π  r3 = π  R2 H


43 × 227 × (0.7)3227 × (7)2 ×H


H=0.933333 cm
1 m=106μm


H=9333.33 μm


Question 37.


The radius and height of a cone are in the ratio 4: 3. The area of the base is 154cm2. The area of the curved surface in cm2 


__
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2200 cm2
:

rh = 43


Base area = πr2=154


r=7cm  so h=34×7=214
l=(h2+r2)=354


So, curved surface area = πrl


  227×(7)×354=192.5 cm2


Question 38.


The dimensions of a cuboid are in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3 and its total surface area is 88 m2. The volume of cuboid is___ m3


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2200 cm2
:

The sides will be x,2x,3x


Total surface area =2(x.2x+2x.3x+x.3x)
2(2x2+6x2+3x2)=88


        22x2=88


        x=2


So sides are 2 cm, 4 cm and 6 cm


So volume =2×4×6=48m3


Question 39.


A big iron boiler tank which is cylindrical in shape is open at the top. Its height is 10 m and radius is 7 m. It gets corroded at a rate of 3 m2/day. The number of days it will take to corrode completely is ____ .
(use π=227)


  1.     192
  2.     202
  3.     198
  4.     208
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 198
:
C
Surface area of the boiler = Curved surface area of boiler + Base area of boiler 
=2πrh+πr2
=2×227×7×10+227×72
=440+154
=594 m2
Now, number of days to corrode
=Total Surface Area of tankArea corroded per day 
=5943
=198 days
Boiler will take 198 days to get corroded completely.
Question 40.


Raghu wants to make a closed aluminium cone for his science project. The slant height and radius of the cone should be 10 cm and 7 cm respectively. The area of the aluminium sheet required to make the cone is_____.
(Use π=227)


  1.      400 cm2
  2.     267 cm2
  3.     258 cm2
  4.     374 cm2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 374 cm2
:
D

Given,
Radius (r) = 7 cm
Slant height (l) = 10 cm


Area of the aluminium sheet required
=Total surface area of the cone
= πr(l+r)
= 227×7(10+7)
= 374 cm2

Hence, the area of the aluminium sheet required is 374 cm2.
