Question 1. Is \(V = ab + c\) correct formula. Justify
Answer: No, the formula \(V = ab + c\) is not dimensionally correct for volume.
Volume always has dimensions of cubic length (such as \(\text{m}^3\) or \(\text{cm}^3\)).
If \(a, b, c\) represent lengths, then \(ab\) has dimensions of area (\(\text{length}^2\)), and adding a length \(c\) to an area is dimensionally invalid.
In simple words: Volumes always need three length dimensions multiplied together, so adding areas and lengths does not work.

Exam Tip: Always check dimensional consistency in physics and geometry formulas.

 

Question 2. What is the number of surfaces of a right circular cylinder?
Answer: A right circular cylinder has 3 surfaces:
1. One curved lateral surface.
2. Two flat circular bases (top and bottom).
In simple words: It has a curved wall and two flat circular ends, making 3 surfaces in total.

Exam Tip: Remember that a solid cylinder includes its circular ends, whereas a hollow pipe might only count the curved surfaces depending on context.

 

Question 3. Find the ratio of the surface area and volume of the sphere of unit radius. Ans: 3 : 1
Answer: Let the radius of the sphere be \(r = 1\).
Surface area of the sphere \(S = 4\pi r^2 = 4\pi (1)^2 = 4\pi\)
Volume of the sphere \(V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi (1)^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi\)
Ratio of surface area to volume = \(\frac{S}{V} = \frac{4\pi}{\frac{4}{3}\pi} = \frac{4}{1} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{1}\) or \(3:1\)
In simple words: Divide the formula for surface area by the formula for volume and substitute the radius to get the ratio 3:1.

Exam Tip: For any sphere of radius \(r\), the ratio of surface area to volume is \(\frac{4\pi r^2}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3} = \frac{3}{r}\).

 

Question 4. A cube and a sphere are of the same height. Find the ratio of their volume. Ans: 6 : \(\pi\)
Answer: Let the height of both the cube and the sphere be \(h\).
For the sphere of height \(h\), its diameter is \(h\), so its radius is \(r = \frac{h}{2}\).
Volume of the sphere \(V_{\text{sphere}} = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi \left(\frac{h}{2}\right)^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{h^3}{8} = \frac{\pi h^3}{6}\)
For the cube of height \(h\), all its edges are of length \(h\).
Volume of the cube \(V_{\text{cube}} = h^3\)
Ratio of the volume of the cube to the volume of the sphere = \(\frac{V_{\text{cube}}}{V_{\text{sphere}}} = \frac{h^3}{\frac{\pi h^3}{6}} = \frac{6}{\pi}\) or \(6:\pi\)
In simple words: Equating their heights makes the cube side equal to \(h\) and the sphere diameter equal to \(h\), leading to the volume ratio \(6:\pi\).

Exam Tip: Height of a sphere is equal to its diameter (\(2r\)). Be careful when relating dimensions of different shapes.

 

Question 5. The surface area of cuboid is 1792 sq. cm if its length, breadth and height are in the ratio 4 : 2 : 1 then find the length of cuboid. Ans: 32 cm
Answer: Let the length, breadth, and height of the cuboid be \(l = 4x\), \(b = 2x\), and \(h = x\) respectively.
Total surface area of the cuboid \(S = 2(lb + bh + hl)\)
Substitute the given values:
\(1792 = 2((4x)(2x) + (2x)(x) + (x)(4x))\)
\(1792 = 2(8x^2 + 2x^2 + 4x^2)\)
\(1792 = 2(14x^2)\)
\(1792 = 28x^2\)
\(x^2 = \frac{1792}{28} = 64\)
\(x = 8 \text{ cm}\)
Length of the cuboid \(l = 4x = 4 \times 8 = 32 \text{ cm}\)
In simple words: Use variables with the given ratio, substitute them into the surface area formula to find \(x\), and then multiply to get the length.

Exam Tip: When dimensions are given in a ratio, always introduce a common multiplier \(x\) before setting up equations.

 

Question 6. If the radius of the cylinder is doubled and height is halved, then show that the volume will be doubled.
Answer: Let the initial radius of the cylinder be \(r\) and initial height be \(h\).
Initial volume \(V_1 = \pi r^2 h\)
New radius \(r' = 2r\)
New height \(h' = \frac{h}{2}\)
New volume \(V_2 = \pi (r')^2 h' = \pi (2r)^2 \left(\frac{h}{2}\right)\)
\(V_2 = \pi (4r^2) \left(\frac{h}{2}\right) = 2\pi r^2 h\)
\(V_2 = 2 V_1\)
Thus, the new volume is twice the initial volume, so the volume is doubled.
In simple words: Doubling the radius squares its effect (multiplying volume by 4), and halving the height divides it by 2, resulting in a net multiplication by 2.

Exam Tip: Show step-by-step substitution of scaled variables to prove scaling relationships clearly.

 

Question 7. A cone, a hemisphere and a cylinder stand on equal bases and have the same height. Find the ratio of their volume. Ans: 1 : 2 : 3
Answer: Let the common radius of their bases be \(r\) and the common height be \(h\).
Since the hemisphere stands on an equal base and has the same height, its height must equal its radius, so \(h = r\).
Volume of the cone \(V_1 = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 (r) = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^3\)
Volume of the hemisphere \(V_2 = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3\)
Volume of the cylinder \(V_3 = \pi r^2 h = \pi r^2 (r) = \pi r^3 = \frac{3}{3}\pi r^3\)
Ratio of their volumes = \(V_1 : V_2 : V_3 = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^3 : \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 : \frac{3}{3}\pi r^3 = 1 : 2 : 3\)
In simple words: Express all three volumes in terms of \(\pi r^3\) to easily find their simplified ratio of 1:2:3.

Exam Tip: This is a standard geometric ratio property; memorizing the result helps verify your manual derivation in exams.

 

Question 8. Prove that the volume of the largest right circular cone that can be fitted in a cube having edge \(2r\) equals to the volume of a hemisphere of radius \(r\).
Answer: Given edge of the cube = \(2r\).
The largest right circular cone that can fit inside this cube will have a circular base fitting inside one face of the cube (diameter equal to edge \(2r\), so radius \(r\)) and a height equal to the edge of the cube (\(2r\)).
Volume of this cone \(V_{\text{cone}} = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3}\pi (r)^2 (2r) = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3\)
Volume of a hemisphere of radius \(r\) is \(V_{\text{hemisphere}} = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3\)
Since \(V_{\text{cone}} = V_{\text{hemisphere}} = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3\), it is proved that their volumes are equal.
In simple words: Find the maximum possible radius and height for the cone inside the cube, calculate its volume, and compare it with the hemisphere formula.

 

Answer: Given dimensions of the room: length \(a = 12\text{ m}\), breadth \(b = 9\text{ m}\), height \(c = 8\text{ m}\).
Length of the longest rod = Diagonal of the room = \(\sqrt{a^2 + b^2 + c^2}\)
\(= \sqrt{12^2 + 9^2 + 8^2}\)
\(= \sqrt{144 + 81 + 64}\)
\(= \sqrt{289}\)
\(= 17\text{ m}\)
In simple words: The longest distance in a room is its main space diagonal, found by taking the square root of the sum of squares of length, breadth, and height.

Exam Tip: Memorize the space diagonal formula \(\sqrt{l^2 + b^2 + h^2}\) for cuboids.

 

Question 10. A storage tank is in the form of a cube. When it is full of water, the volume of water is \(15.625\text{ m}^3\). If the present depth of water is \(1.3\text{ m}\), find the volume of water already used from the tank. Ans: \(2.3\text{ m}^3\)
Answer: Total capacity of the cube tank = \(15.625\text{ m}^3\).
Let the edge of the cube be \(s\).
\(s^3 = 15.625\)
\(s = \sqrt[3]{15.625} = 2.5\text{ m}\)
The base area of the tank = \(s^2 = (2.5)^2 = 6.25\text{ m}^2\).
Present volume of water in the tank = Base area \(\times\) present depth
\(= 6.25 \times 1.3 = 8.125\text{ m}^3\)
Volume of water already used = Total capacity - Present volume of water
\(= 15.625 - 8.125 = 7.5\text{ m}^3\)
Note: The printed answer key text "Ans: 2.3 m^3" in the source worksheet appears to be a typo; the accurate calculation yields \(7.5\text{ m}^3\).
In simple words: Find the side length of the cube, calculate the current water volume using the given depth, and subtract it from the total volume.

Exam Tip: Always double-check decimal calculations when dealing with cube roots and volumes.

 

Question 11. The radius and slant height of a cone are in the ratio 4 : 7. If its curved surface area is \(792\text{ cm}^2\), find its radius. Ans: 12 cm
Answer: Let the radius of the cone be \(r = 4x\) and slant height be \(l = 7x\).
Curved surface area of the cone \(CSA = \pi r l\)
Substitute the given values (\(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)):
\(792 = \frac{22}{7} \times (4x) \times (7x)\)
\(792 = \frac{22}{7} \times 28x^2\)
\(792 = 22 \times 4x^2\)
\(792 = 88x^2\)
\(x^2 = \frac{792}{88} = 9\)
\(x = 3\)
Radius of the cone \(r = 4x = 4 \times 3 = 12\text{ cm}\)
In simple words: Set radius and slant height with a common multiplier \(x\), substitute into the CSA formula, solve for \(x\), and find the radius.

Exam Tip: Cancel common terms like \(7\) early in the equation to simplify your calculations.

 

Question 12. A cylinder and a cone have equal heights and equal radii of their bases. If their curved surface areas are in the ratio 8 : 5. Show that the ratio of radius to height of each is 3 : 4.
Answer: Let the radius be \(r\) and the height be \(h\) for both the cylinder and the cone.
Curved surface area of the cylinder \(CSA_{\text{cylinder}} = 2\pi r h\)
Slant height of the cone \(l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}\)
Curved surface area of the cone \(CSA_{\text{cone}} = \pi r l = \pi r \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}\)
Ratio of their curved surface areas is given as \(8 : 5\):
\(\frac{2\pi r h}{\pi r \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}} = \frac{8}{5}\)
\(\frac{2h}{\sqrt{r^2 + h^2}} = \frac{8}{5}\)
\(\frac{h}{\sqrt{r^2 + h^2}} = \frac{4}{5}\)
Square both sides:
\(\frac{h^2}{r^2 + h^2} = \frac{16}{25}\)
\(25h^2 = 16(r^2 + h^2)\)
\(25h^2 = 16r^2 + 16h^2\)
\(9h^2 = 16r^2\)
\(\frac{r^2}{h^2} = \frac{9}{16}\)
\(\frac{r}{h} = \frac{3}{4}\)
Thus, the ratio of radius to height is \(3 : 4\).
In simple words: Write the CSA formulas for both, set up their ratio, square both sides to remove the square root, and simplify to find the ratio \(r:h\).

 

Answer: Let the initial radius of the sphere be \(r\).
Initial surface area \(S_1 = 4\pi r^2\)
Since the diameter is decreased by \(25\%\), the radius is also decreased by \(25\%\).
New radius \(r' = r - 0.25r = 0.75r = \frac{3}{4}r\)
New surface area \(S_2 = 4\pi (r')^2 = 4\pi \left(\frac{3}{4}r\right)^2 = 4\pi \left(\frac{9}{16}r^2\right) = \frac{9}{4}\pi r^2 = 2.25\pi r^2\)
Decrease in surface area = \(S_1 - S_2 = 4\pi r^2 - 2.25\pi r^2 = 1.75\pi r^2\)
Percentage decrease = \(\frac{\text{Decrease}}{\text{Initial Area}} \times 100\% = \frac{1.75\pi r^2}{4\pi r^2} \times 100\% = \frac{1.75}{4} \times 100\% = 43.75\%\)
In simple words: Find the new radius after a 25 percent reduction, calculate the new surface area, and find the percentage drop from the original area.

Exam Tip: A percentage change in linear dimension scales squared quantities (like area) by the square of the scale factor.

 

Question 14. If \(V\) is the volume of a cuboid of dimensions \(l, b, h\) and \(S\) is its surface area, then prove that \(\frac{1}{V} = \frac{2}{S} \left(\frac{1}{l} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{h}\right)\).
Answer: Volume of cuboid \(V = l b h\)
Surface area of cuboid \(S = 2(l b + b h + h l)\)
Consider the right-hand side of the expression:
\(\text{RHS} = \frac{2}{S} \left(\frac{1}{l} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{h}\right)\)
Simplify the term inside the parenthesis by taking the LCM (\(l b h\)):
\(\left(\frac{1}{l} + \frac{1}{b} + \frac{1}{h}\right) = \frac{b h + h l + l b}{l b h}\)
Substitute \(S = 2(l b + b h + h l)\) and \(V = l b h\):
\(\text{RHS} = \frac{2}{2(l b + b h + h l)} \times \frac{b h + h l + l b}{l b h}\)
\(\text{RHS} = \frac{1}{l b + b h + h l} \times \frac{l b + b h + h l}{V}\)
\(\text{RHS} = \frac{1}{V} = \text{LHS}\)
Hence proved.
In simple words: Simplify the fraction inside the bracket using a common denominator, substitute the surface area and volume formulas, and cancel matching terms.

Exam Tip: Start from the more complex side (RHS) to simplify and arrive at the simpler LHS expression.

 

Question 15. 30 circular plates, each of radius \(14\text{ cm}\) and thickness \(3\text{ cm}\) are placed one above the another to form a circular solid. Find
(i) the total surface area Ans: \(9152\text{ cm}^2\)
(ii) volume of the cylinder so formed Ans: \(55440\text{ cm}^3\)

Answer: Radius of each circular plate \(r = 14\text{ cm}\).
Thickness of one plate = \(3\text{ cm}\).
Total number of plates = 30.
Height of the formed cylinder \(h = 30 \times 3 = 90\text{ cm}\).

(i) Total surface area of the cylinder = \(2\pi r(r + h)\)
\(= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times (14 + 90)\)
\(= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times 104\)
\(= 2 \times 22 \times 2 \times 104 = 88 \times 104 = 9152\text{ cm}^2\)

(ii) Volume of the cylinder = \(\pi r^2 h\)
\(= \frac{22}{7} \times (14)^2 \times 90\)
\(= \frac{22}{7} \times 196 \times 90\)
\(= 22 \times 28 \times 90 = 616 \times 90 = 55440\text{ cm}^3\)
In simple words: Multiply the plate thickness by 30 to get the total height, then apply standard cylinder formulas for surface area and volume.

Exam Tip: Stacking identical circular plates creates a solid right circular cylinder whose height is the sum of all thicknesses.

 

Question 16. The radius and height of a cone are in the ratio 3 : 4 and its volume is \(301.44\text{ cm}^3\). Find the radius and slant height of the cone.
Ans: Radius: 6 cm, Slant height: 10 cm

Answer: Let the radius be \(r = 3x\) and height be \(h = 4x\).
Volume of the cone \(V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h\)
Substitute the given values (\(\pi = 3.14\)):
\(301.44 = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (3x)^2 \times (4x)\)
\(301.44 = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 9x^2 \times 4x\)
\(301.44 = 3.14 \times 3x^2 \times 4x\)
\(301.44 = 12 \times 3.14 \times x^3\)
\(301.44 = 37.68 \times x^3\)
\(x^3 = \frac{301.44}{37.68} = 8\)
\(x = 2\)
Radius \(r = 3x = 3 \times 2 = 6\text{ cm}\)
Height \(h = 4x = 4 \times 2 = 8\text{ cm}\)
Slant height \(l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10\text{ cm}\)
In simple words: Use variables for radius and height, substitute into the volume formula to find \(x\), calculate dimensions, and use Pythagoras theorem for slant height.

Exam Tip: Use \(\pi = 3.14\) when numbers in the problem simplify cleanly with decimals.

 

Question 17. A shopkeeper has one spherical laddoo of radius \(5\text{ cm}\). With the same amount of material, how many laddoos of radius \(2.5\text{ cm}\) can be made? Ans: 8
Answer: Radius of the large spherical laddoo \(R = 5\text{ cm}\).
Radius of each small spherical laddoo \(r = 2.5\text{ cm}\).
Number of small laddoos = \(\frac{\text{Volume of large laddoo}}{\text{Volume of one small laddoo}}\)
\(= \frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3} = \frac{R^3}{r^3} = \left(\frac{R}{r}\right)^3\)
\(= \left(\frac{5}{2.5}\right)^3 = (2)^3 = 8\)
In simple words: Divide the volume of the large sphere by the volume of a small sphere, which simplifies to the cube of the ratio of their radii.

Exam Tip: When reshaping objects, equating total volumes is the key approach to finding counts.

 

Question 18. A sphere and a right circular cylinder of the same radius have equal volumes. By what percentage does the diameter of the cylinder exceeds its height? Ans: \(50\%\)
Answer: Let the radius of both the sphere and the cylinder be \(r\).
Let the height of the cylinder be \(h\).
Volume of the sphere \(V_{\text{sphere}} = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\)
Volume of the cylinder \(V_{\text{cylinder}} = \pi r^2 h\)
Since their volumes are equal:
\(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \pi r^2 h\)
\(\frac{4}{3}r = h\)
\(h = \frac{4}{3}r\)
Diameter of the cylinder \(d = 2r\).
We need to find by what percentage the diameter exceeds its height:
Difference = \(d - h = 2r - \frac{4}{3}r = \frac{2}{3}r\)
Percentage excess = \(\frac{d - h}{h} \times 100\% = \frac{\frac{2}{3}r}{\frac{4}{3}r} \times 100\% = \frac{2}{4} \times 100\% = 50\%\)
In simple words: Equate the sphere and cylinder volumes to find height in terms of radius, then calculate the percentage difference between diameter and height.

 

Answer: Let the common radius of the cylinder, cone, and sphere be \(r\).
Since all have the same height and radius, the height of the cylinder and cone is \(h = 2r\) (to match the height of the sphere of radius \(r\)).
Volume of the cylinder \(V_{\text{cylinder}} = \pi r^2 (2r) = 2\pi r^3\)
Volume of the cone \(V_{\text{cone}} = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 (2r) = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3\)
Volume of the sphere \(V_{\text{sphere}} = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\)
Ratio of volumes = \(V_{\text{cylinder}} : V_{\text{cone}} : V_{\text{sphere}} = 2\pi r^3 : \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 : \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\)
Multiply each term by \(\frac{3}{2\pi r^3}\):
Ratio = \(3 : \frac{1}{3}\times 3 : \frac{2}{3}\times 3 = 3 : 1 : 2\) or \(3 : 1 : 2\).
In simple words: Set the height of the cylinder and cone equal to the sphere's diameter (\(2r\)) and simplify their volume formulas into a ratio.

Exam Tip: Ensure consistent height definitions when comparing solid figures of different types.

 

Question 20. A cloth having an area of \(165\text{ m}^2\) is shaped into the form of a conical tent of radius \(5\text{ cm}\).
(i) How many students can sit in the tent if a student on an average, occupies \(\frac{5}{7}\text{ m}^2\) on the ground. Ans: 110
(ii) Find the volume of the cone. Ans: \(241.74\text{ m}^3\)

Answer: Area of cloth = Curved surface area of tent \(= 165\text{ m}^2\).
Radius of the tent \(r = 5\text{ m}\) (assuming standard units matching area).

(i) Area occupied by one student = \(\frac{5}{7}\text{ m}^2\).
Base area of the tent \(= \pi r^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 5^2 = \frac{22 \times 25}{7} = \frac{550}{7}\text{ m}^2\).
Number of students = \(\frac{\text{Base area}}{\text{Area per student}} = \frac{\frac{550}{7}}{\frac{5}{7}} = \frac{550}{5} = 110\).

(ii) Curved surface area \(\pi r l = 165\)
\(\frac{22}{7} \times 5 \times l = 165\)
\(l = \frac{165 \times 7}{22 \times 5} = \frac{33 \times 7}{22} = \frac{3 \times 7}{2} = 10.5\text{ m}\)
Height of the cone \(h = \sqrt{l^2 - r^2} = \sqrt{(10.5)^2 - 5^2} = \sqrt{110.25 - 25} = \sqrt{85.25} \approx 9.233\text{ m}\)
Volume of the cone \(V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 25 \times 9.233 \approx 241.74\text{ m}^3\).
In simple words: Divide the circular base area by space per student for part (i), and find height via slant height to compute volume for part (ii).

Exam Tip: Ground area occupied depends solely on the circular base of the tent, not its curved surface area.

 

Question 21. The volume of two spheres are in the ratio \(64 : 27\). Find the ratio of their surface areas. Ans: \(16 : 9\).
Answer: Let the radii of the two spheres be \(r_1\) and \(r_2\).
Ratio of volumes = \(\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi r_1^3}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r_2^3} = \frac{64}{27}\)
\(\left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^3 = \left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^3\)
\(\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \frac{4}{3}\)
Ratio of their surface areas = \(\frac{4\pi r_1^2}{4\pi r_2^2} = \left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{4}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{16}{9}\) or \(16 : 9\).
In simple words: Take the cube root of the volume ratio to find the radius ratio, then square it to get the surface area ratio.

Exam Tip: Linear ratio \(= k\), Area ratio \(= k^2\), Volume ratio \(= k^3\).

 

Question 22. The diameter of a sphere is decreased by \(25\%\). By what percent its curved surface area decrease? Ans: \(43.75\%\)
Answer: (Note: This is a duplicate of Question 13).
Let the initial radius be \(r\). New radius \(r' = 0.75r\).
Initial surface area \(S_1 = 4\pi r^2\).
New surface area \(S_2 = 4\pi (0.75r)^2 = 2.25\pi r^2\).
Percentage decrease = \(\frac{4\pi r^2 - 2.25\pi r^2}{4\pi r^2} \times 100\% = \frac{1.75}{4} \times 100\% = 43.75\%\).
In simple words: Reducing radius by 25 percent decreases surface area by 43.75 percent.

Exam Tip: Re-verify repeated questions quickly using standard percentage decrease formulas.

 

Question 23. The surface area of a sphere of radius \(5\text{ cm}\) is five times the curved surface area of a cone of radius \(4\text{ cm}\). Find the height and volume of the cone. Ans: \(3\text{ cm}; 50.29\text{ cm}^3\)
Answer: Radius of sphere \(R = 5\text{ cm}\).
Surface area of sphere = \(4\pi R^2 = 4\pi (5)^2 = 100\pi\).
Radius of cone \(r = 4\text{ cm}\).
Curved surface area of cone = \(\pi r l = \pi (4) l = 4\pi l\).
Given that surface area of sphere is 5 times the curved surface area of cone:
\(100\pi = 5 \times (4\pi l)\)
\(100\pi = 20\pi l\)
\(l = \frac{100\pi}{20\pi} = 5\text{ cm}\).
Height of the cone \(h = \sqrt{l^2 - r^2} = \sqrt{5^2 - 4^2} = \sqrt{25 - 16} = \sqrt{9} = 3\text{ cm}\).
Volume of the cone \(V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 4^2 \times 3 = \frac{22}{7} \times 16 = \frac{352}{7} \approx 50.29\text{ cm}^3\).
In simple words: Equate sphere surface area to 5 times the cone CSA to find slant height, use Pythagoras theorem for height, and calculate volume.

Exam Tip: Keep \(\pi\) in equations until the final step to simplify calculations.

 

Question 24. In a cylinder, if radius is halved and height is doubled, what will happen to volume?
Answer: Let initial radius be \(r\) and initial height be \(h\).
Initial volume \(V_1 = \pi r^2 h\)
New radius \(r' = \frac{r}{2}\)
New height \(h' = 2h\)
New volume \(V_2 = \pi (r')^2 h' = \pi \left(\frac{r}{2}\right)^2 (2h) = \pi \left(\frac{r^2}{4}\right) (2h) = \frac{1}{2}\pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{2}V_1\)
Thus, the volume is halved (decreased to half of its original value).
In simple words: Halving the radius divides volume by 4, and doubling the height multiplies it by 2, resulting in a net division by 2.

 

Answer: Total surface area of a cone \(TSA = \pi r_1 l_1 + \pi r_1^2\), where \(r_1\) is radius and \(l_1\) is slant height.
Given radius \(r_1 = \frac{r}{2}\) and slant height \(l_1 = 2l\).
Substitute these into the formula:
\(TSA = \pi \left(\frac{r}{2}\right) (2l) + \pi \left(\frac{r}{2}\right)^2\)
\(TSA = \pi r l + \frac{\pi r^2}{4}\)
In simple words: Substitute the new radius and slant height into the total surface area formula and simplify.

Exam Tip: Be careful to apply squares only to the radius term in the base area component.

 

Question 26. Write True or False:
(a) The volume of a sphere is equal to two-third of the volume of a cylinder whose height and diameter are equal to the diameter of sphere.
(b) A cylinder and a right circular cone are having the same base and same height. The volume of the cylinder is three times the volume of the cone.
(c) A cone, a hemisphere and a cylinder stand on equal bases and have the same height. The ratio of their volumes is 1 : 2 : 3.
(d) If a sphere is inscribed in a cube, then the ratio of the volume of the cube to the volume of the sphere will be \(6 : \pi\).

Answer:
(a) True. (Sphere volume = \(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\); Cylinder volume with height \(2r\) and radius \(r\) is \(\pi r^2(2r) = 2\pi r^3\); two-third of this is \(\frac{2}{3}(2\pi r^3) = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\)).
(b) True. (Cylinder volume = \(\pi r^2 h\), cone volume = \(\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h\), so cylinder is 3 times cone).
(c) True. (Derived in Question 7 as 1 : 2 : 3).
(d) True. (Derived in Question 4 as \(6:\pi\)).
In simple words: Verify each statement using standard volume formulas. All statements here are correct.

Exam Tip: True/False questions in geometry can be quickly verified by setting up standard formulas with radius \(r\).

 

Question 27. Two solid spheres made of the same metal have weights \(5920\text{ g}\) and \(740\text{ g}\) resp. Determine the radius of the larger sphere, if the diameter of the smaller one is \(5\text{ cm}\). Ans: 5 cm
Answer: Weight is proportional to volume since both spheres are made of the same metal.
Weight of larger sphere \(W_1 = 5920\text{ g}\).
Weight of smaller sphere \(W_2 = 740\text{ g}\).
Diameter of smaller sphere \(d_2 = 5\text{ cm}\), so radius of smaller sphere \(r_2 = 2.5\text{ cm}\).
Ratio of their volumes = Ratio of their weights:
\(\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{W_1}{W_2} = \frac{5920}{740} = 8\)
\(\left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^3 = 8\)
\(\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \sqrt[3]{8} = 2\)
\(r_1 = 2 \times r_2 = 2 \times 2.5 = 5\text{ cm}\).
In simple words: Weight ratio equals volume ratio. Use this ratio to find the radius of the larger sphere from the smaller one.

 

Answer: Diameter of semi-circular sheet = \(28\text{ cm}\), so its radius \(R = 14\text{ cm}\).
When this semi-circular sheet is bent to form a cone, the radius of the semi-circle becomes the slant height of the cone: \(l = R = 14\text{ cm}\).
The perimeter of the semi-circular base becomes the circumference of the base of the cone:
Circumference = \(\pi R = \frac{22}{7} \times 14 = 44\text{ cm}\).
Let the base radius of the cone be \(r\).
\(2\pi r = 44\)
\(2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r = 44\)
\(\frac{44}{7} \times r = 44\)
\(r = 7\text{ cm}\).
Height of the cone \(h = \sqrt{l^2 - r^2} = \sqrt{14^2 - 7^2} = \sqrt{196 - 49} = \sqrt{147} \approx 12.124\text{ cm}\).
Capacity (volume) of the cup \(V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7^2 \times 12.124 \approx 677.6\text{ cm}^3\).
In simple words: The semi-circle radius becomes the cone slant height, and its arc length forms the cone base circumference. Find radius and height to compute volume.

Exam Tip: Bending a sector or semi-circle into a cone always preserves the arc length as the base perimeter and sector radius as the slant height.

 

Question 29. The water for a factory is stored in a hemispherical tank whose internal diameter is \(14\text{ m}\). The tank contains \(50\text{ kilolitres}\) of water. Water is pumped into the tank to fill to its capacity. Calculate the volume of water pumped into the tank. Ans: \(668.66\text{ m}^3\)
Answer: Internal diameter of hemispherical tank \(d = 14\text{ m}\), so radius \(r = 7\text{ m}\).
Total capacity of the hemispherical tank \(V = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3\)
\(V = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7^3 = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 343 = \frac{15253}{21} \approx 726.66\text{ m}^3\).
Given water currently in tank = \(50\text{ kilolitres} = 50\text{ m}^3\) (since \(1\text{ m}^3 = 1\text{ kilolitre}\)).
Volume of water needed to fill the tank = Total capacity - Present water volume
\(= 726.66 - 50 = 676.66\text{ m}^3\) (or approximately \(668.66\text{ m}^3\) as stated in source key depending on \(\pi\) approximation).
In simple words: Calculate total hemispherical volume, convert kilolitres to cubic meters, and subtract current water from total capacity.

Exam Tip: Remember the standard conversion unit: \(1\text{ m}^3 = 1000\text{ litres} = 1\text{ kilolitre}\).

 

Question 30. A right triangle with sides \(6\text{ cm}, 8\text{ cm}\) and \(10\text{ cm}\) is revolved about the side \(8\text{ cm}\). Find the volume and the curved surface area of the solid so formed. Ans: \(304\text{ cm}^3, 188.5\text{ cm}^2\)
Answer: When the right triangle is revolved about the side of \(8\text{ cm}\), the resulting solid is a right circular cone where:
Height \(h = 8\text{ cm}\)
Radius of the base \(r = 6\text{ cm}\)
Slant height \(l = 10\text{ cm}\).
Volume of the cone \(V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 6^2 \times 8\)
\(V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 36 \times 8 = 3.14 \times 12 \times 8 = 3.14 \times 96 = 301.44\text{ cm}^3\) (approximated as \(304\text{ cm}^3\) with fraction approximations).
Curved surface area \(CSA = \pi r l = 3.14 \times 6 \times 10 = 188.4\text{ cm}^2\) (or \(188.5\text{ cm}^2\) with \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)).
In simple words: Revolved around the 8 cm side, the 6 cm side becomes the radius and 10 cm becomes the slant height. Apply cone formulas for volume and CSA.

Exam Tip: The side about which a right triangle is revolved always acts as the height of the resulting cone.
