Question. 50 students of class X planned a visit to an old age home and to spend the whole day with its inmates. Each one prepared a cylindrical flower vase using cardboard to gift the inmates. The radius of cylinder is 4.2 cm and the height is 11.2 cm.

If the height of the cylinder is 21cm then

                                                                   

(a) What is the value of ‘a’ ?

 

(b) What is the curved surface area of a sphere ?

 

(c) Which value is shown by Ashwani ?

 

Answer: (a) diameter os sphere = height of cylinder

 

2a + 5 = 21

 

2a = 21–5 = 16

 

a = 8

 

(b) CSA of sphere = 4πr² 

 

=4× 22/7× 21/7× 21/7

 

= 1386 cm²

 

(c) Social justice, caring

 

Question. A residential colony has a population of 5400 and 60 litres of water is required per person per day. For the effective utilization of rain water, a group of people decided to do WATER HARVESTING. They constructed a water reserviour measuring 48m × 27m × 25mto collect the rain water 

 

(a) For how many days the water of this tank is sufficient if during rain the height of water level is 5m.

 

(b) Which value is shown by the group of people ?

 

Answer: (a) Total volume of water = (48 × 27 × 5) m³

 

= 48×27×5×1000 litres

 

Requirement of water for one day = 5400 × 60 litres

 

No. of days = 48× 27× 5 ×1000/5400× 60

 

= 20 days

 

(b) environmental value, co-operation

 

Question. The patients in a hospital are given soup daily in a cylindrical bowl of diameter 7cm. On a particular day, the girls of KANYA MAHAVIDYALAYA decided to cook the soup for the patients. If they fill the bowl with soup to a height of 5cm then how much soup is to be cooked for 300 patients ? Which value is depicted by the girls ?

 

Answer: (a) Volume of the cylinder = πr2h

 

=π × (2/ 7)²× 5

 

=22/2× 7/2× 7/2 ×5

 

= 385 cm³

 

volume for 300 patients = 385/2× 300

 

= 57750 cm³

 

= 57.750 litres

 

(b) Social cohension, happiness

 

Question. The resident of society decided to paint the hall of cancer detective centre in their premises. If the floor of the cuboidal hall has a perimeter equal to 250 m and height 6m then

(a) Find the cost of painting its four walls (including doors etc) at the rate of Rs. 8 per m².

 

(b) What is the amount contributed by 50 people ?

 

(c) Which value is depicted by the residents ?

 

Answer: P = 2(l+b) = 250

 

= l + b = 125

 

(a) Surface area of four walls = 2h (l+b)

 

= 6 × 250

 

= 1500 m²

 

cost = 8 × 1500

 

= Rs. 12000

 

(b) Amount contributed = Rs. 240

 

(c) Social value, co-operation, social cohension

 

Question. Sunidhi is curious to find out the relationship between the diameter of the moon and the earth. From the data available, it is known that the volume of earth is 64 times the volume of themoon. She concluded that the diameter of the moon is 1 /4 of the diameter of the earth.

 

(a) Justify her statement by proving it.

 

(b) Which value is depicted by Sunidhi by conducting the experiment?

 

​​​​​​​Answer: (a) Volume of earth = 64 × volume of moon

 

4/3πR₁³=64 ×4/3πR₂³

 

=R₁³=(4R₂)³

 

Radius of earth = 4 × Radius of moon

 

=1/4 Diameter of earth = Diameter of moon

 

(b) Curiosity, spirit of enquiry, scientific temper

 

Question. There are 100 students in a blind school. Mr. andMrs. Ramesh wished to serve them milk. They have two options for serving the milk. Option A – A hemispherical bowl with radius 10.5 cm made up of ecofriendly material. Option B – A hemispherical bowl with radius 7 cm made up of

plastic.

 

(a) How many litres of milk is required if option A is taken.

 

(b) Find the total quantity of milk (in litres) if option B is taken.

 

(c) Mr. and Mrs. Ramesh opted for option A which value is shown by them.

Answer: (a) r = 10.5 cm

 

volume of hemisphere = 2/3 π r³

 

Total volume = 2.42 × 100 = 242 l

 

(b) volume of hemisphere = 2 π r³

 

= 2/3× 22/7× 7× 7× 7

 

= 718.6 cm³

 

= 0.719 l

 

Total volume = 100 × 0.719 = 71.9 l

 

(c) Environmental value, social value
