Question Detail

If a right circular cone of height 24 cm has a volume of 1232 cm cube, then the area of its curved surface is :

\begin{aligned} 450 cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 550 cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 650 cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 750 cm^2 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Volume is given, we can calculate the radius from it, then by calculating slant height, we can get curved surface area.
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{3}*\pi *r^2*h = 1232 \\
\frac{1}{3}*\frac{22}{7}*r^2*24 = 1232 \\
r^2 = \frac{1232*7*3}{22*24} = 49 \\
r = 7 \\
\text{Now, r = 7cm and h = 24 cm } \\
l = \sqrt{r^2+h^2} \\
= \sqrt{7^2+24^2} = 25cm \\
\text{Curved surface area =}\pi rl\\
= \frac{22}{7}*7*25 = 550 cm^2
\end{aligned}

1. How many cubes of 10 cm edge can be put in a cubical box of 1 m edge.

10000 cubes
1000 cubes
100 cubes
50 cubes

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Number of cubes =}\frac{100*100*100}{10*10*10} \\
= 1000
\end{aligned}

Note: 1 m = 100 cm

2. If the volume of two cubes are in the ratio 27:1, the ratio of their edges is:

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the edges be a and b of two cubes, then

\begin{aligned}
\frac{a^3}{b^3} = \frac{27}{1} \\
=> \left( \frac{a}{b} \right)^3 = \left( \frac{3}{1} \right)^3 \\
\frac{a}{b}=\frac{3}{1} \\
=> a:b = 3:1
\end{aligned}

3. A cone of height 9 cm with diameter of its base 18 cm is carved out from a wooden solid sphere of radius 9 cm. The percentage of the wood wasted is :

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We will first subtract the cone volume from wood volume to get the wood wasted.
Then we can calculate its percentage.

\begin{aligned}
\text{Sphere Volume =}\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\
\text{Cone Volume =}\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h\\

\text{Volume of wood wasted =}\\
\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi *9*9*9\right)-\left(\frac{1}{3}\pi *9*9*9\right) \\
= \pi *9*9*9 cm^3 \\
\text{Required Percentage =} \\
\frac{\pi *9*9*9}{\frac{4}{3}\pi *9*9*9}*100 \% \\
= \frac{3}{4}*100 \% \\
= 75\%
\end{aligned}

4. 66 cubic centimetres of silver is drawn into a wire 1 mm in diameter. The length if the wire in meters will be:

76 m
80 m
84 m
88 m

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the length of the wire be h
\begin{aligned}
Radius = \frac{1}{2}mm = \frac{1}{20}cm\\
\pi r^2h = 66 \\
\frac{22}{7}*\frac{1}{20}*\frac{1}{20}*h = 66 \\
=> h = \frac{66*20*20*7}{22} \\
= 8400 cm \\
= 84 m
\end{aligned}

5. A hemisphere and a cone have equal bases. If their heights are also equal, then the ratio of their curved surface will be :

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

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the radius of hemisphere and cone be R,
Height of hemisphere H = R.
So the height of the cone = height of the hemisphere = R
Slant height of the cone
\begin{aligned}
= \sqrt{R^2+R^2} \\
= \sqrt{2}R \\
\frac{\text{Hemisphere Curved surface area}}{\text{Cone Curved surface area}} = \\
\frac{2\pi R^2}{\pi *R*\sqrt{2}R} \\
= \sqrt{2}:1
\end{aligned}
