Question Detail

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}

1. 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

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 perimeter of one face of a cube is 20 cm. Its volume will be:

\begin{aligned} 125 cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 400 cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 250 cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 625 cm^3 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Edge of cude = 20/4 = 5 cm

Volume = a*a*a = 5*5*5 = 125 cm cube

4. A metallic sheet is of rectangular shape with dimensions 48 m x 36 m. From each of its corners, a square is cut off so as to make an open box. If the length of the square is 8 m, the volume of the box (in m cube) is:

4120 m cube
4140 m cube
5140 m cube
5120 m cube

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

l = (48 - 16)m = 32 m, [because 8+8 = 16]
b = (36 -16)m = 20 m,
h = 8 m.

Volume of the box = (32 x 20 x 8) m cube
= 5120 m cube.

5. The slant height of a conical mountain is 2.5 km and the area of its base is 1.54 km square. The height of mountain is :

2.3 km
2.4 km
2.5 km
2.6 km

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the radius of the base be r km. Then,
\begin{aligned}
\pi r^2 = 1.54 \\
r^2 = \frac{1.54*7}{22} = 0.49\\
= 0.7 km \\
\text{Now l=2.5 km, r = 0.7 km} \\
h = \sqrt{2.5^2 - 0.7^2} km \\
=\sqrt{6.25 - 0.49}\\
=\sqrt{5.76} km \\
= 2.4 km
\end{aligned}
