Answer: Option A. -> 112
:
A

Volume of iron
=(440×260×100) cm3.
Internal radius of the pipe
=30 cm.
External radius of the pipe
=(30+5) cm=35 cm.
Let the length of the pipe be h cm.
Volume of iron in the pipe = (External volume) - (Internal volume)
=[π(35)2×hπ(30)2×h]cm3  


=(πh)((35)2(30)2) cm3 


=(65×5)πh cm3 
Volume of iron in the pipe = Volume of iron block


(325πh) cm3=440×260×100


h=440×260×100325×722 cm
h=11200 cm


h=11200100=112 m


Hence, the length of the pipe is 112 m.


Question 2.

From A Solid Cylinder Whose Height Is 2.4 Cm And Diameter 1....
Height of Cylinder =h=AO=2.4 cm


Diameter of Cylinder =1.4 cm


Radius of Cone = Radius of Cylinder
OB=r=1.42=0.7 cm



Lets find Slant Height l of cone, using pythagoras theorem on AOB , we get


AB=l=h2+r2=(2.4)2+(0.7)2
l=5.76+0.49=6.25=2.5 cm



Surface Area of remaining Solid
= Surface Area of the Cylinder + Inner surface Area of the hollow Cone 
          =(2πrh+πr2)+πrl=πr(2h+r+l)=227×0.7(2×2.4+0.7+2.5)=2.2(4.8+0.7+2.5)=2.2(8)=17.60 cm2 


Total surface area of the remaining solid is 17.60 cm2 


Question 3.

 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 6 cm
:
C

Let the depth of the salt in the cellar be x
Volume of   =   volume of cylinder +
salt cellar          volume of hemisphere
                            
                    =πr2h+23πr3=π×32×10+23π×33=π[90+18]=108π cm3
So height x will come on the cylinder.
Half of total volume =54π cm3
                         πr2x=54ππ×32×x=54π9x=54x=6
The salt will be 6 cm deep.

  3.     650 cm2
  4.     400 cm2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 880 cm2
:
B

Surface area = base circle + curved surface area of the cylinder + curved surface area of the cone.
=πr2+2πrh+πrl


=π(5)2+2π(5)(20)+π(5)(11)
=π×5(5+40+11)
=227×5×56


=880 cm2.

Let R be the radius of the given cone, r the radius of the small cone, h be the height of the frustum and h1 be the height of the small cone.


In the figure,ONCOMA
ONOM=NCMA    [Sides of similar triangles are proportional]
h140=rR 
h1=(rR)×40 .......(i)


We are given that Volume of small conevolume of given cone=164 


13πr2×h113πR2×40=164


r2R2×140×[(rR)40]=164       [ By (i) ] 


(rR)3=164=(14)3
 rR=14    ...... (ii)


From (i) and (ii) h1=14×40=10 cm


,h=40h1=(4010) cm


h=30 cm


Hence, the section is made at a height of 30 cm above the base of the cone  .

S.A. = 1372 cm2 (Given)
2(l×b+b×h+l×h)=1372
[ Surface area of a cuboid of dimensions l×b×h is given by 2(lb+bh+lh).]
Also, it is given that l:b:h=4:2:1.
Let l=4k, b=2k and h=k.
Then, 2(4k×2k+2k×k+4k×k)=1372
28k2=1372
k2=49
k=7
l=4k=4×7=28 cm

___
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 14
:

Radius of first Sphere = r1=6cm


Radius of second Sphere = r2=8cm


Radius of third Sphere = r3=10cm
Let radius of resulting sphere = r cm 
According to given condition, we have 
Volume of 1st sphere + Volume of 2nd sphere + Volume of 3rd sphere = Volume of resulting sphere  
43.π.(r1)3+43.π.(r2)3+43.π.(r3)3=43.π.r3 


43((r1)3+(r2)3+(r3)3)=43.r3 


(63+83+(10)3)=r3 


( 216 + 512 + 1000 ) = r3 


 r3 = 1728


r = 12 cm
