Question 751. If the volume and curved surface area of a cylinder are 616 m3 and 352 m2 respectively, what is the total surface area of the cylinder (in m2)
  1.    429$$\,{\text{sq}}{\text{.m}}$$
  2.    419$$\,{\text{sq}}{\text{.m}}$$
  3.    435$$\,{\text{sq}}{\text{.m}}$$
  4.    421$$\,{\text{sq}}{\text{.m}}$$
  5.    417$$\,{\text{sq}}{\text{.m}}$$
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 429$$\,{\text{sq}}{\text{.m}}$$
Volume of cylinder = $$\pi {r^2}h$$
∴ Curved surface area of cylinder = $$2\pi rh$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \frac{{\pi {r^2}h}}{{2\pi rh}} = \frac{{616}}{{352}} \cr
& \Rightarrow r = \frac{{2 \times 616}}{{352}} \cr
& \Rightarrow r = 3.5\,m \cr} $$
∴ Volume of cylinder :
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow \pi {r^2}h = 616 \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{22}}{7} \times 3.5 \times 3.5 \times h = 616 \cr
& \Rightarrow 11 \times 3.5 \times h = 616 \cr
& \Rightarrow h = \frac{{616}}{{11 \times 3.5}} \cr
& \Rightarrow h = 16 \cr} $$
∴ Total surface area of the cylinder :
$$\eqalign{
& = 2\pi rh + 2\pi {r^2} \cr
& = 2\pi r\left( {h + r} \right) \cr
& = 2 \times \frac{{22}}{7} \times 3.5\left( {16 + 3.5} \right) \cr
& = 2 \times \frac{{22}}{7} \times 3.5\left( {19.5} \right) \cr
& = 22 \times 19.5 \cr
& = 429\,{\text{sq}}{\text{.m}} \cr} $$
Question 752. What is the volume in cubic cm of a pyramid whose area of the base is 25 sq cm and height 9 cm ?
  1.    60 cm3
  2.    75 cm3
  3.    90 cm3
  4.    105 cm3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 75 cm3
Volume of pyramid :$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{1}{3} \times {\text{Area of base}} \times {\text{Height}} \cr
& = \left( {\frac{1}{3} \times 25 \times 9} \right){\text{c}}{{\text{m}}^3} \cr
& = 75\,{\text{c}}{{\text{m}}^3} \cr} $$
Question 753. The radius of a hemispherical bowls is 6 cm. The capacity of the bowl is $$\left( {{\text{Take }}\pi = \frac{{22}}{7}} \right)$$
  1.    495.51 cm3
  2.    452.57 cm3
  3.    345.53 cm3
  4.    422 cm3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 452.57 cm3
Radius of hemisphere bowl = 6 cm
∴ Volume of hemisphere :
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{2}{3}\pi {r^3} \cr
& = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{{22}}{7} \times 6 \times 6 \times 6 \cr
& = \frac{{9504}}{{21}} \cr
& = 452.57{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^3} \cr} $$
Question 754. If the height of a right circular cone is increased by 200% and the radius of the base is reduced by 50%, then the volume of the cone :
  1.    Remains unaltered
  2.    Decrease by 25%
  3.    Increase by 25%
  4.    Increase by 50%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Decrease by 25%
Let the radius of a right circular cine be R cm and height be H cm
Volume of right circular cone $$ = \frac{1}{3}\pi {R^2}H{\text{ cu}}{\text{.cm}}$$
When height of right circular cone is increased by 200% and radius of the base is reduce by 50%
New volume :$$\eqalign{
& {\text{ = }}\frac{1}{3}\pi {\left( {\frac{R}{2}} \right)^2}.3H \cr
& = \frac{1}{3}\pi \frac{{{R^2}4}}{4}.3H \cr
& = \frac{{\pi {R^2}H}}{4} \cr} $$
Difference :
$$\eqalign{
& = \pi {R^2}H\left( {\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{4}} \right) \cr
& = \frac{1}{{12}}\pi {R^2}H \cr} $$
Decrease percentage :
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{\frac{1}{{12}}\pi {R^2}H}}{{\frac{1}{3}\pi {R^2}H}} \times 100 \cr
& = 25\% \cr} $$
Question 755. The length of canvas 1.1 m wide required to build a conical tent of height 14 m and the floor area 346.5 sq.m is :
  1.    490 m
  2.    525 m
  3.    665 m
  4.    860 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 525 m
$$\eqalign{
& \pi {r^2} = 346.5 \cr
& {r^2} = \left( {346.5 \times \frac{7}{{22}}} \right) \cr
& {r^2} = \frac{{441}}{4} \cr
& {r^2} = \frac{21}{2} \cr
& \therefore l = \sqrt {{r^2} + {h^2}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \sqrt {\frac{{441}}{4} + {{\left( {14} \right)}^2}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \sqrt {\frac{{1225}}{4}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{35}}{2} \cr} $$
So, area of canvas needed :
$$\eqalign{
& \pi rl = \left( {\frac{{22}}{7} \times \frac{{21}}{2} \times \frac{{35}}{2}} \right){{\text{m}}^2} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \left( {\frac{{33 \times 35}}{2}} \right){{\text{m}}^2} \cr} $$
∴ Length of canvas :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{{33 \times 35}}{{2 \times 1.1}}} \right){\text{ m}} \cr
& = 525{\text{ m}} \cr} $$

  1.    75 cm
  2.    120 cm
  3.    150 cm
  4.    300 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 300 cm
Total length of tape required :

= 300 cm
Question 757. A swimming pool 9 m wide and 12 m long is 1 m deep on the shallow side and 4 m deep on the deeper side. It volume is :
  1.    208 m3
  2.    270 m3
  3.    360 m3
  4.    408 m3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 270 m3
Volume :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left[ {12 \times 9 \times \left( {\frac{{1 + 4}}{2}} \right)} \right]{m^3} \cr
& = \left( {12 \times 9 \times 2.5} \right){m^3} \cr
& = 270\,{m^3} \cr} $$
Question 758. The volumes of two cubes are in the ratio 8 : 27. The ratio of their surface areas is :
  1.    2 : 3
  2.    4 : 9
  3.    12 : 9
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 4 : 9
Let their edges be a and b
Then,
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{{a^3}}}{{{b^3}}} = \frac{8}{{27}} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\left( {\frac{a}{b}} \right)^3} = {\left( {\frac{2}{3}} \right)^3} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{a}{b} = \frac{2}{3} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{{a^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = \frac{4}{9} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{6{a^2}}}{{6{b^2}}} = \frac{4}{9}\,Or\,4:9 \cr} $$
Question 759. The height of a right circular cylinder is 6 m. If three times the sum of the areas of its two circular faces is twice the area of the curved surface, then the radius of its base is :
  1.    1 m
  2.    2 m
  3.    3 m
  4.    4 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 4 m
$$\eqalign{
& 3 \times 2\pi {r^2} = 2 \times 2\pi rh \cr
& \Rightarrow 6r = 4h \cr
& \Rightarrow r = \frac{2}{3}h \cr
& \Rightarrow r = \left( {\frac{2}{3} \times 6} \right)m \cr
& \Rightarrow r = 4\,m \cr} $$
Question 760. An aluminium sheet 27 cm long, 8 cm broad and 1 cm thick is melted into a cube. The difference in the surface areas of the two solids would be :
  1.    Nil
  2.    284 cm2
  3.    286 cm2
  4.    296 cm2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 286 cm2
Volume of cube = Volume of sheet = (27 × 8 × 1) cm3 = 216 cm3
Edge of cube :
$$\root 3 \of {216} \,cm = 6\,cm$$
Surface area of sheet :
$$\eqalign{
& = 2\left( lb + bh + lh \right) \cr
& = 2\left( {27 \times 8 + 8 \times 1 + 27 \times 1} \right){\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2} \cr
& = \left( {216 + 8 + 27} \right){\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2} \cr
& = 502{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2} \cr} $$
Surface area of cube :
$$\eqalign{
& = 6{a^2} \cr
& = \left( {6 \times {6^2}} \right){\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2} \cr
& = 216{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2} \cr} $$
∴ Required difference :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {502 - 216} \right){\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2} \cr
& = 286{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2} \cr} $$
