Question 781. The radius of base and curved surface area of a right cylinder is 'r' units and 4πrh square units respectively. The height of the cylinder is :
  1.    $$\frac{{\text{h}}}{2}$$ units
  2.    1h units
  3.    2h units
  4.    4h units
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2h units
Radius of the base = r units
Curved surface area of a right cylinder = $$4\pi {\text{r}}h$$
Curved surface area of cylinder = $$2\pi {\text{RH}}$$
∴ According to the question,
$$2\pi {\text{rH = }}4\pi {\text{rh}}$$
⇒ Height of cylinder = 2h units
Question 782. A school room is be built to accommodate 70 children so as to allow 2.2 m2 of floor and 11 m3 of space for each child. If the room be 14 metres long, what must be its breadth and height ?
  1.    11 m, 4 m
  2.    11 m, 5 m
  3.    12 m, 5.5 m
  4.    13 m, 6 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 11 m, 5 m
Let the breadth and height of the room be b and h metres respectively.
Then,
Area of the floor $$ = \left( {14b} \right)\,{m^2}$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore 14b = 2.2 \times 70 \cr
& \Rightarrow b = \frac{{2.2 \times 70}}{{14}} \cr
& \Rightarrow b = 11 \cr} $$
Volume of the room :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {14 \times 11 \times h} \right){m^3} \cr
& = \left( {154h} \right){m^3} \cr} $$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore 154h = 11 \times 70 \cr
& \Rightarrow h = \frac{{11 \times 70}}{{154}} \cr
& \Rightarrow h = 5 \cr} $$
Question 783. A swimming bath is 24 m long and 15 m broad. When a number of men dive into the bath, the height of the water rises by 1 cm. If the average amount of water displaced by one of the men be 0.1 cu.m, how many men are there in the bath ?
  1.    32
  2.    36
  3.    42
  4.    46
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 36
Volume of water displaced :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {24 \times 15 \times \frac{1}{{100}}} \right){m^3} \cr
& = \frac{{18}}{5}{m^3} \cr} $$
Volume of water displaced by 1 man = 0.1 m3
∴ Number of men :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{{\frac{{18}}{5}}}{{0.1}}} \right) \cr
& = \left( {\frac{{18}}{5} \times 10} \right) \cr
& = 36 \cr} $$
Question 784. A rectangular water tank is open at the top. Its capacity is 24 m3. Its length and breadth are 4 m and 3 m respectively. Ignoring the thickness of the material used for building the tank, the total cost of painting the inner and outer surface of the tank at the rate of Rs. 10 per m2 is :
  1.    Rs. 400
  2.    Rs. 500
  3.    Rs. 600
  4.    Rs. 800
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Rs. 800
Depth of the tank :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{{24}}{{4 \times 3}}} \right)m \cr
& = 2\,m \cr} $$
Since the tank is open and thickness of material is to be ignored, we have
Sum of inner and outer surface :
$$\eqalign{
& = 2\left[ {\left\{ {2\left( {l + b} \right) \times h} \right\} + lb} \right] \cr
& = 2\left[ {\left\{ {2\left( {4 + 3} \right) \times 2} \right\} + 4 \times 3} \right]{m^2} \cr
& = 80\,{m^2} \cr} $$
∴ Cost of painting :
$$\eqalign{
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {80 \times 10} \right) \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 800}} \cr} $$
Question 785. A rectangular paper of 44 cm long and 6 cm wide is rolled to form a cylinder of height equal to width of the paper. The radius of the base of the cylinder so rolled is :
  1.    3.5 cm
  2.    5 cm
  3.    7 cm
  4.    14 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 7 cm
Length of rectangle paper = Circumference of the base of cylinder
If r is the radius of the cylinder :
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow 44 = 2\pi r \cr
& \Rightarrow r = \frac{{44 \times 7}}{{2 \times 22}} \cr
& \Rightarrow r = 7\,cm \cr} $$
Question 786. A cistern of capacity 8000 litres measures externally 3.3 m by 2.6 m by 1.1 m and its walls are 5 cm thick. The thickness of the bottom is :
  1.    90 cm
  2.    1 dm
  3.    1 m
  4.    1.1 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1 dm
Let the thickness of the bottom be x cm
Then,
$$\left[ {\left( {330 - 10} \right) \times \left( {260 - 10} \right) \times \left( {110 - x} \right)} \right]$$       $$ = 8000 \times 1000$$
$$ \Rightarrow 320 \times 250 \times \left( {110 - x} \right) = $$       $$8000 \times 1000$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow \left( {110 - x} \right) = \frac{{8000 \times 1000}}{{320 \times 250}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \left( {110 - x} \right) = 100 \cr
& \Rightarrow x = 10\,cm \cr
& \Rightarrow x = 1\,dm \cr} $$
Question 787. A solid cube just gets completely immersed in water when a 0.2 kg mass is placed on it. If the mass is removed, the cube is 2 cm above the water level. What is the length of each side of the cube ?
  1.    6 cm
  2.    8 cm
  3.    10 cm
  4.    12 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 10 cm
Let the length of each side of the cube be a cm
Then, Volume of the part of cube outside water = Volume of the mass placed on it
⇒ 2a2 = 0.2 × 1000
⇒ 2a2 = 200
⇒ a2 = 100
⇒ a = 10
Question 788. If two cylinders of equal volumes have their heights in the ratio 2 : 3, then the ratio if their radii is :
  1.    $$\sqrt 6 :\sqrt 3 $$
  2.    $$\sqrt 5 :\sqrt 3 $$
  3.    $$2 : 3 $$
  4.    $$\sqrt 3 :\sqrt 2 $$
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> $$\sqrt 3 :\sqrt 2 $$
Let their heights be 2h and 3h and radii be r and R respectively
Then,
$$\eqalign{
& \pi {r^2}\left( {2h} \right) = \pi {R^2}\left( {3h} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{{r^2}}}{{{R^2}}} = \frac{3}{2} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{r}{R} = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{{\sqrt 2 }}\,i.e.,\sqrt 3 :\sqrt 2 \cr} $$
Question 789. The volume of a right circular cylinder, 14 cm in height is equal to that of a cube whose edge is 11 cm. The radius of the base of the cylinder is :
  1.    5.2 cm
  2.    5.5 cm
  3.    11 cm
  4.    22 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 5.5 cm
Volume of the cylinder :
= Volume of the cube
= (11)3 cm3
= 1331 cm3
Let the radius of the base be r cm
Then,
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{22}}{7} \times {r^2} \times 14 = 1331 \cr
& \Rightarrow {r^2} = \frac{{1331}}{{44}} = \frac{{121}}{4} \cr
& \Rightarrow r = \frac{{11}}{2} \cr
& \Rightarrow r = 5.5 \cr} $$
Question 790. How many bricks, each measuring 25 cm × 11.25 cm × 6 cm, will be needed to build a wall 8 m × 6 m × 22.5 cm ?
  1.    5600
  2.    6000
  3.    6400
  4.    7200
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 6400
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Number of bricks :}} \cr
& = \frac{{{\text{Volume of the wall}}}}{{{\text{Volume of 1 brick}}}} \cr
& = \left( {\frac{{800 \times 600 \times 22.5}}{{25 \times 11.25 \times 6}}} \right) \cr
& = 6400 \cr} $$
