Question Detail

12 spheres of the same size are made from melting a solid cylinder of 16 cm diameter and 2 cm height. Find the diameter of each sphere.

4 cm
6 cm
8 cm
10 cm

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

In this type of question, just equate the two volumes to get the answer as,
\begin{aligned}
\text{Volume of cylinder =}\pi r^2h\\
\text{Volume of sphere =} \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\
=> 12*\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \pi r^2h \\
=> 12*\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \pi *8*8*2 \\
=> r^3 = \frac{8*8*2*3}{12*4} \\
=> r^3 = 8 \\
=> r = 2 cm \\
=> \text{Diameter =}2*2 = 4 cm
\end{aligned}

1. A boat having a length 3 m and breadth 2 m is floating on a lake. The boat sinks by 1 cm when a man gets into it. The mass of the man is :

50 kg
60 kg
70 kg
80 kg

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In this type of question, first we will calculate the volume of water displaces then will multiply with the density of water.
Volume of water displaced = 3*2*0.01 = 0.06 m cube

Mass of Man = Volume of water displaced * Density of water

= 0.06 * 1000 = 60 kg

2. A hollow spherical metallic ball has an external diameter 6 cm and is 1/2 cm thick. The volume of metal used in the metal is:

\begin{aligned} 47\frac{1}{5} cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 47\frac{3}{5} cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 47\frac{7}{5} cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 47\frac{9}{5} cm^3 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Please note we are talking about "Hollow" ball. Do not ignore this word in this type of question in a hurry to solve this question.
If we are given with external radius and thickness, we can get the internal radius by subtracting them. Then the volume of metal can be obtained by its formula as,

External radius = 3 cm,
Internal radius = (3-0.5) cm = 2.5 cm

\begin{aligned}
\text{Volume of sphere =}\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\
= \frac{4}{3}*\frac{22}{7}*[3^2 - 2.5^2]cm^3 \\
= \frac{4}{3}*\frac{22}{7}*\frac{91}{8}cm^3 \\
= \frac{143}{3} cm^3 \\
= 47\frac{2}{3}cm^3
\end{aligned}

3. The maximum length of a pencil that can he kept is a rectangular box of dimensions 8 cm x 6 cm x 2 cm, is

\begin{aligned} 2\sqrt{17} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 2\sqrt{16} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 2\sqrt{26} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 2\sqrt{24} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

In this question we need to calculate the diagonal of cuboid,
which is =
\begin{aligned}
\sqrt{l^2+b^2+h^2} \\
= \sqrt{8^2+6^2+2^2} \\
= \sqrt{104} \\
= 2\sqrt{26}
\end{aligned}

4. Two right circular cylinders of equal volumes have their heights in the ratio 1:2. Find the ratio of their radii.

\begin{aligned} \sqrt{3}:1 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \sqrt{7}:1 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \sqrt{2}:1 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 2:1 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let their heights be h and 2h and radii be r and R respectively then.

\begin{aligned}
\pi r^2h = \pi R^2(2h) \\
=> \frac{r^2}{R^2} = \frac{2h}{h} \\
= \frac{2}{1} \\
=> \frac{r}{R} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{1} \\
=> r:R = \sqrt{2}:1 \\
\end{aligned}

5. The volume of the largest right circular cone that can be cut out of a cube of edge 7 cm is:

\begin{aligned} 79.8 cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 79.4 cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 89.8 cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 89.4 cm^3 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Volume of the largest cone = Volume of the cone with diameter of base 7 and height 7 cm

\begin{aligned}
\text{Volume of cone =}\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h \\
= \frac{1}{3}*\frac{22}{7}*3.5*3.5*7 \\
= \frac{269.5}{3}cm^3 \\
= 89.8 cm^3
\end{aligned}

Note: radius is taken as 3.5, as diameter is 7 cm
