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. 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:

2. A circular well with a diameter of 2 meters, is dug to a depth of 14 meters. What is the volume of the earth dug out.

\begin{aligned} 40 m^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 42 m^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 44 m^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 46 m^3 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
Volume = \pi r^2h \\
Volume = \left(\frac{22}{7}*1*1*14\right)m^3 \\
= 44 m^3
\end{aligned}

3. The surface area of a sphere is same as the curved surface area of a right circular cylinder whose height and diameter are 12 cm each. The radius of the sphere is:

4 cm
6 cm
8 cm
10 cm

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Curved surface area of sphere =}\\
\frac{4}\pi r^2 \\
\text{Surface area of cylinder =} \\
2\pi rh \\
=> \frac{4}\pi r^2 = 2\pi rh \\
=> r^2 = \frac{6*12}{2} \\
=> r^2 = 36 \\
=> r = 6
\end{aligned}

Note: Diameter of cylinder is 12 so radius is taken as 6.

4. The radii of two cones are in ratio 2:1, their volumes are equal. Find the ratio of their heights.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let their radii be 2x, x and their heights be h and H resp.
Then,
\begin{aligned}
\text{Volume of cone =}\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h \\
\frac{\frac{1}{3}*\pi *{(2x)}^2*h}{\frac{1}{3}*\pi *{x}^2*H} \\
=> \frac{h}{H} = \frac{1}{4} \\
=> h:H = 1:4
\end{aligned}

5. The curved surface of a right circular cone of height 15 cm and base diameter 16 cm is:

\begin{aligned} 116 \pi cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 122 \pi cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 124 \pi cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 136 \pi cm^2 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Curved surface area of cone=}\pi rl\\
l = \sqrt{r^2+h^2} \\
l = \sqrt{8^2+15^2} = 17cm \\

\text{Curved surface area =}\pi rl\\
= \pi *8*17 = 136 \pi cm^2
\end{aligned}
