Question. A toy is in the form of a cone mounted on a hemisphere of radius 3.5 cm. The total height of the toy is 15.5 cm. Find the total surface area of the toy.
Answer: Here, \( r = 3.5 \) cm. Height of cone \( h = (15.5 - 3.5) \text{ cm} = 12.0 \text{ cm} \).
Slant height \( l = \sqrt{12^2 + 3.5^2} = \sqrt{144 + 12.25} = \sqrt{156.25} = 12.5 \text{ cm} \).
Total surface area of the toy \( = \pi rl + 2\pi r^2 = \pi r(l + 2r) \)
\( = \frac{22}{7} \times 3.5 \times (12.5 + 2 \times 3.5) = 11 \times (12.5 + 7) = 11 \times 19.5 = 214.5 \text{ cm}^2 \).
Question. A solid is in the form of a right circular cylinder with hemispherical ends. The total height of the solid is 58 cm and the diameter of the cylinder is 28 cm. Find the total surface area of the solid. [Use \( \pi = \frac{22}{7} \)]
Answer: Radius \( r = 14 \) cm. Height of cylindrical part \( h = 58 - (14 + 14) = 58 - 28 = 30 \) cm.
Total surface area \( = \text{Curved surface area of cylindrical portion} + 2(\text{Curved surface area of hemispherical portion}) \)
\( = 2\pi rh + 2(2\pi r^2) = 2\pi r(h + 2r) = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times (30 + 2 \times 14) \)
\( = 88 \times (30 + 28) = 88 \times 58 = 5104 \text{ cm}^2 \).

Question. A toy is in the form of a cone mounted on a hemisphere with the same radius. The diameter of the base of the conical portion is 6 cm and its height is 4 cm. Determine the surface area of the toy. [Take \( \pi = 3.14 \)]
Answer: \( r = 3 \) cm, \( h = 4 \) cm \( \Rightarrow l = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = 5 \) cm.
Surface area \( = 2\pi r^2 + \pi rl = \pi r(2r + l) = 3.14 \times 3 \times (2 \times 3 + 5) = 3.14 \times 3 \times 11 = 103.62 \text{ cm}^2 \).
Question. From a solid cylinder of height 12 cm and diameter of the base 10 cm a conical cavity of the same height and same diameter is hollowed out. Find the surface area of the remaining solid.
Answer: \( r = 5 \) cm, \( h = 12 \) cm \( \Rightarrow l = \sqrt{5^2 + 12^2} = 13 \) cm.
Surface area \( = \text{C.S.A of cylinder} + \text{Base area of cylinder} + \text{C.S.A of conical cavity} \)
\( = 2\pi rh + \pi r^2 + \pi rl = \pi r(2h + r + l) = \pi \times 5 \times (2 \times 12 + 5 + 13) = \pi \times 5 \times 42 = 210\pi \)
\( = 210 \times \frac{22}{7} = 660 \text{ cm}^2 \).
Question. A gulab jamun when completely ready for eating contains sugar syrup upto about 30% of its volume. Find approximately how much syrup would be found in 45 gulab jamuns shaped like a cylinder with two hemispherical ends, if the complete length of each of the gulab jamuns is 5 cm and its diameter is 2.8 cm.
Answer: Radius \( r = 1.4 \) cm. Height of cylinder \( h = 5 - 2(1.4) = 2.2 \) cm.
Volume of 1 gulab jamun \( = \pi r^2 h + \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \pi r^2 (h + \frac{4}{3}r) = \frac{22}{7} \times 1.4^2 \times (2.2 + \frac{4}{3} \times 1.4) \approx 25.05 \text{ cm}^3 \).
Volume of 45 gulab jamuns \( \approx 45 \times 25.05 = 1127.25 \text{ cm}^3 \).
Syrup volume \( = 30\% \text{ of } 1127.25 \approx 338.18 \text{ cm}^3 \). (Calculated approx: 337.88 \( \text{cm}^3 \)).
Question. A juice seller was serving his customers using glasses. The inner diameter of the cylindrical glass was 5 cm, but the bottom of the glass had a hemispherical raised portion which reduced the capacity of the glass. If the height of the glass was 10 cm, find its actual capacity and its apparent capacity. (Use \( \pi = 3.14 \))
Answer: \( r = 2.5 \) cm, \( h = 10 \) cm.
Apparent capacity \( = \pi r^2 h = 3.14 \times 2.5 \times 2.5 \times 10 = 196.25 \text{ cm}^3 \).
Actual capacity \( = \text{Apparent capacity} - \text{Vol. of hemisphere} = 196.25 - \frac{2}{3} \times 3.14 \times 2.5^3 \)
\( = 196.25 - 32.71 = 163.54 \text{ cm}^3 \).

Question. A rocket is in the form of a right circular cylinder closed at the lower end and surmounted by a cone with the same radius as that of cylinder. The diameter and height of cylinder are 6 cm and 12 cm, respectively. If the slant height of the conical portion is 5 cm, then find the total surface area and volume of rocket. (Use \( \pi = 3.14 \))
Answer: \( r = 3 \) cm, \( H_{\text{cyl}} = 12 \) cm, \( l = 5 \) cm \( \Rightarrow h_{\text{cone}} = \sqrt{5^2 - 3^2} = 4 \) cm.
Volume \( = \pi r^2 H + \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h = \pi r^2 (H + \frac{h}{3}) = 3.14 \times 9 \times (12 + \frac{4}{3}) = 3.14 \times 3 \times 40 = 376.8 \text{ cm}^3 \).
TSA \( = \text{C.S.A cyl} + \text{C.S.A cone} + \text{Base area cyl} = 2\pi rH + \pi rl + \pi r^2 = \pi r(2H + l + r) = 3.14 \times 3 \times (24 + 5 + 3) = 301.44 \text{ cm}^2 \).
Question. A solid right circular cone of height 120 cm and radius 60 cm is placed in a right circular cylinder full of water of height 180 cm such that it touches the bottom. Find the volume of water left in cylinder, if the radius of the cylinder is equal to the radius to the cone.
Answer: \( r = 60 \) cm, \( H_{\text{cyl}} = 180 \) cm, \( h_{\text{cone}} = 120 \) cm.
Vol. water left \( = \text{Vol. cylinder} - \text{Vol. cone} = \pi r^2 H - \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h = \pi r^2(H - \frac{h}{3}) \)
\( = \frac{22}{7} \times 60 \times 60 \times (180 - \frac{120}{3}) = \frac{22}{7} \times 3600 \times 140 = 22 \times 3600 \times 20 = 1,584,000 \text{ cm}^3 = 1.584 \text{ m}^3 \).
Question. A solid is in the shape of a cone surmounted on a hemisphere. The radius of each of them being 3.5 cm and the total height of the solid is 9.5 cm. Find the volume of the solid.
Answer: \( r = 3.5 \) cm, \( h_{\text{cone}} = 9.5 - 3.5 = 6 \) cm.
Volume \( = \text{Vol. hemisphere} + \text{Vol. cone} = \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 + \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2(2r + h) \)
\( = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 3.5^2 \times (7 + 6) = \frac{1}{3} \times 38.5 \times 13 \approx 166.83 \text{ cm}^3 \).

Question. Find approximately how much syrup would be found in 45 gulab jamuns shaped like a cylinder with two hemispherical ends, if the complete length of each of the gulab jamuns is 5 cm and its diameter is 2.8 cm.
Answer: Radius (r) = 1.4 cm; length (h) of cylindrical part = 5 cm - 2 x 1.5 cm = 2.2 cm. Volume of each gulab jamun = \( \pi(1.4)^2 \times 2.2 + 2 \times \frac{2}{3}\pi \times (1.4)^3 \) cm\(^3\). Volume of syrup found in 45 gulab jamuns = 45 x 30% of volume of each gulab jamun = 337.88 cm\(^3\).
Question. Since the inner diameter of the glass = 5 cm and height = 10 cm, the apparent capacity of the glass = \( \pi r^2 h = 3.14 \times 2.5 \times 2.5 \times 10 \text{ cm}^3 = 196.25 \text{ cm}^3 \). But the actual capacity of the glass is less by the volume of the hemisphere at the base of the glass. i.e., it is less by \( \frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 \). Find the actual capacity.
Answer: Volume of hemisphere = \( \frac{2}{3} \times 3.14 \times 2.5 \times 2.5 \times 2.5 \text{ cm}^3 = 32.71 \text{ cm}^3 \). So, the actual capacity of the glass = apparent capacity of glass - volume of the hemisphere = (196.25 - 32.71) = 163.54 cm\(^3\).

Rise in level \( h = \frac{\text{Volume}}{\text{Base Area}} = \frac{1500\pi}{\pi \times 10^2} = 15 \) cm.
Question. Water is flowing through a cylindrical pipe of internal diameter 2 cm, into a cylindrical tank of base radius 40 cm at the rate of 0.7 m/sec. By how much will the water rise in the tank in half an hour?
Answer: Pipe radius \( r = 1 \) cm \( = 0.01 \) m. Time = 1800 sec.
Vol. of water in 30 mins \( = \pi \times (0.01)^2 \times (0.7 \times 1800) = \pi \times 0.0001 \times 1260 = 0.126\pi \text{ m}^3 \).
Tank base area \( = \pi \times (0.4)^2 = 0.16\pi \text{ m}^2 \).
Rise in level \( H = \frac{0.126\pi}{0.16\pi} = 0.7875 \text{ m} = 78.75 \) cm.
