Question 801. For a sphere of radius 10 cm, What percent of the numerical value of its volume would be the numerical value of the surface area ?
  1.    24%
  2.    26.5%
  3.    30%
  4.    45%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 30%
Volume of the sphere :
$$ = \left[ {\frac{4}{3}\pi {{\left( {10} \right)}^3}} \right]{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^3}$$
Surface area of the sphere :
$$ = \left[ {4\pi {{\left( {10} \right)}^2}} \right]{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2}$$
∴ Required percentage :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left[ {\frac{{4\pi {{\left( {10} \right)}^2}}}{{\frac{4}{3}\pi {{\left( {10} \right)}^3}}}} \times 100 \right]\% \cr
& = 30\% \cr} $$
Question 802. Base of a right prism is a rectangle, the ratio of whose length and breadth is 3 : 2. If the height of the prism is 12 cm and total surface area is 288 sq.cm the volume of the prism is :
  1.    291 cm3
  2.    288 cm3
  3.    290 cm3
  4.    286 cm3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 288 cm3
Let the length of base be 3a cm and breadth be 2a cm
Total surface area of prism :
= [Perimeter of base × height] + [2 × Area of base]
= [2 (3a + 2a) × 12 + 2 × 3a × 2a] sq.cm
= (120a + 12a2) sq.cm
According to the question,
120a + 12a2 = 288
⇒ a2 + 10a = 24
⇒ a2 + 10a - 24 = 0
⇒ a2 + 12a - 2a - 24 = 0
⇒ a (a + 12) - 2 (a + 12) = 0
⇒ (a - 2)(a + 12) = 0
⇒ a = 2 because a $$ \ne $$ -12
∴ Volume of prism :
= Area of base × Height
= (3a × 2a × 12)cu.cm
= 72a2 cu.cm
= (72 × 2 × 2)cu.cm
= 288 cu.cm
Question 803. A metallic sphere of radius 5 cm is melted to make a cone with base of the same radius. What is the height of the cone ?
  1.    5 cm
  2.    10 cm
  3.    15 cm
  4.    20 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 20 cm
Let the height of the cone be h cm
Then,
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{4}{3}\pi \times {\left( 5 \right)^3} = \frac{1}{3}\pi \times {\left( 5 \right)^2} \times h \cr
& \Rightarrow h = 20\,cm \cr} $$
Question 804. How many lead shots each 3 mm in diameter can be made from a cuboid of dimensions 9 cm × 11 cm × 12 cm ?
  1.    7200
  2.    8400
  3.    72000
  4.    84000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 84000
Volume of each lead shot :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left[ {\frac{4}{3}\pi \times {{\left( {\frac{{0.3}}{2}} \right)}^3}} \right]{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^3} \cr
& = \left( {\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{{22}}{7} \times \frac{{27}}{{8000}}} \right){\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^3} \cr
& = \frac{{99}}{{7000}}{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^3} \cr} $$
∴ Number of lead shots :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {9 \times 11 \times 12 \times \frac{{7000}}{{99}}} \right) \cr
& = 84000 \cr} $$
Question 805. A hemisphere of lead of radius 6 cm is cast into a right circular cone of height 75 cm. The radius of the base of the cone is :
  1.    1.4 cm
  2.    2 cm
  3.    2.4 cm
  4.    4.2 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 2.4 cm
Let the radius of the cone be R cm
Then,
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{1}{3}\pi \times {R^2} \times 75 = \frac{2}{3}\pi \times 6 \times 6 \times 6 \cr
& \Rightarrow {R^2} = \left( {\frac{{2 \times 6 \times 6 \times 6}}{{75}}} \right) \cr
& \Rightarrow {R^2} = \frac{{144}}{{25}} \cr
& \Rightarrow {R^2} = \frac{{{{\left( {12} \right)}^2}}}{{{{\left( 5 \right)}^2}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow R = \frac{{12}}{5} \cr
& \Rightarrow R = 2.4\,cm \cr} $$
Question 806. The slant height of a right circular cone is 10 m and its height is 8 m. Find the area of its curved surface.
  1.    30π m2
  2.    40π m2
  3.    60π m2
  4.    80π m2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 60π m2
$$\eqalign{
& l = 10\,m,h = 8\,m \cr
& So, \cr
& r = \sqrt {{l^2} + {h^2}} \cr
& \,\,\,\, = \sqrt {{{\left( {10} \right)}^2} - {{\left( 8 \right)}^2}} \cr
& \,\,\,\, = 6\,m \cr} $$
∴ Curved surface area :
$$\eqalign{
& = \pi rl \cr
& = \left( {\pi \times 6 \times 10} \right){m^2} \cr
& = 60\pi \,{m^2} \cr} $$
Question 807. If the volume of a sphere is divided by its surface area, the result is 27 cm. The radius of the sphere is :
  1.    9 cm
  2.    36 cm
  3.    54 cm
  4.    81 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 81 cm
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{\frac{4}{3}\pi {r^3}}}{{4\pi {r^2}}} = 27 \cr
& \Rightarrow r = 81\,cm \cr} $$
Question 808. A solid metallic right circular cylinder of base diameter 16 m and height 2 cm is melted and recast into a right circular cone of height three times that of the cylinder. Find the curved surface area of the cone. [Use $$\pi $$ = 3.14]
  1.    196.8 cm2
  2.    228.4 cm2
  3.    251.2 cm2
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 251.2 cm2
Let the radius of the cone be r cm
Then,
$$\eqalign{
& \pi \times {\left( 8 \right)^2} \times 2 = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times {r^2} \times 6 \cr
& \Rightarrow r = 8 \cr} $$
Slant height,
$$\eqalign{
& l = \sqrt {{r^2} + {h^2}} \cr
& \,\,\, = \sqrt {{8^2} + {6^2}} \cr
& \,\,\, = \sqrt {100} \cr
& \,\,\, = 10\,cm \cr} $$
Curved surface area of cone :
$$\eqalign{
& = \pi rl \cr
& = \left( {3.14 \times 8 \times 10} \right){\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2} \cr
& = 251.2{\text{ c}}{{\text{m}}^2} \cr} $$
Question 809. A sphere and a cube have equal surface area. The ratio of the volume of the sphere to that of the cube is :
  1.    $$\sqrt \pi :\sqrt 6 $$
  2.    $$\sqrt 2 :\sqrt \pi $$
  3.    $$\sqrt \pi :\sqrt 3 $$
  4.    $$\sqrt 6 :\sqrt \pi $$
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> $$\sqrt 6 :\sqrt \pi $$
$$\eqalign{
& 4\pi {R^2} = 6{a^2} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{{{R^2}}}{{{a^2}}} = \frac{3}{{2\pi }} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{R}{a} = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{{\sqrt {2\pi } }} \cr} $$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \frac{{{\text{Volume of spere}}}}{{{\text{Volume of cube}}}} \cr
& = \frac{{\frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3}}}{{{a^3}}} \cr
& = \frac{4}{3}\pi {\left( {\frac{R}{a}} \right)^3} \cr
& = \frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{{3\sqrt 3 }}{{2\pi \sqrt {2\pi } }} \cr
& = \frac{{2\sqrt 3 }}{{\sqrt {2\pi } }} \cr
& = \frac{{\sqrt {12} }}{{\sqrt {2\pi } }} \cr
& = \frac{{\sqrt 6 }}{{\sqrt \pi }} \cr
& \text{or, }\sqrt 6 :\sqrt \pi \cr} $$
Question 810. Some solid metallic right circular cones, each with radius of the base 3 cm and height 4 cm, are melted to form a solid sphere of radius 6 cm. The number of right circular cones is :
  1.    6
  2.    12
  3.    24
  4.    48
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 24
Volume of sphere :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{4}{3}\pi \times {6^3}} \right){\text{c}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}} \cr
& = \left( {288\pi } \right){\text{c}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}} \cr} $$
Volume of each cone :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{1}{3}\pi \times {3^2} \times 4} \right){\text{c}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}} \cr
& = \left( {12\pi } \right){\text{c}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}} \cr} $$
∴ Number of cone :
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{288\pi }}{{12\pi }} \cr
& = 24 \cr} $$
