A cloth having an area of 165 m2 is shaped into the form of a conical tent of radius 5m.(i) How many students can sit in the tent if a student, on an average, occupies 5/7 m2 on the ground?(ii) Find the volume of the cone.

Answer»

(i) We know that

Area of the floor of the tent = πr2

By substituting the values

Area of the floor of the tent = (22/7) × 52 = 550/7 m2

We know that the area required by one student is 5/7 m2

So the required number of students = (550/7)/ (5/7) = 110

(ii) We know that

Curved surface area of the tent = area of the cloth = 165 m2

So we get

πrl = 165

By substituting the values

(22/7) × 5 × l = 165

On further calculation

l = (165 × 7)/ (22 × 5) = 21/2 m

We know that

h = √ (l2 – r2)

By substituting the values

h = √ ((21/2)2 – 52)

On further calculation

h = √ ((441/4) – 25) = √ (341/4)

So we get

h = 9.23 m

We know that

Volume of the tent = 1/3 πr2h

By substituting the values

Volume of the tent = 1/3 × (22/7) × 52 × 9.23

On further calculation

Volume of the tent = 241.7 m3

It is required to make a closed cylindrical tank of height 1m and base diameter 140cm from a metal sheet. How many square metres of the sheet are required for the same?

Answer»

It is given that

Diameter of the cylinder = 140cm

Radius of the cylinder = 140/2 = 70cm

Height of the cylinder = 1m = 100cm

We know that

Area of sheet required = Total surface area of cylinder = 2 πr (h + r)

By substituting the values

Area of sheet required = 2 × (22/7) × 70 (100 + 70)

On further calculation

Area of sheet required = 2 × 22 × 10 × 170

So we get

Area of sheet required = 74800 cm2 = 7.48 m2

Therefore, the area of sheet required is 7.48 m2.

Find the smallest number by which 2925 must be multiplied to get a perfect square. Also, find the square root of the perfect square so obtained.

Answer»

Given number= 2925

Resolve the given number into prime factors we get

2925 = 3 × 3 × 5 × 5 × 13

To get perfect square we have to divide by 13

Then we get 2925 = 3 × 3 × 5 × 5

New number = 2925 / 13 = 225

Therefore √225 = 3 × 5 = 15

1458 = 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3

Here, prime factor 2 does not have its pair. If 2 gets a pair, then the number will become a perfect square. Therefore, 1458 has to be multiplied with 2 to obtain a perfect square.

Therefore, 1458 × 2 = 2916 is a perfect square.

1458 × 2 = 2916 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3

∴ √2916 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 54

768 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Here, prime factor 3 does not have its pair. If 3 gets a pair, then the number will become a perfect square. Therefore, 768 has to be multiplied with 3 to obtain a perfect square.

Therefore, 768 × 3 = 2304 is a perfect square.

768 × 3 = 2304 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

∴ √2304 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 48

A conical tent is 10m high and the radius of its base is 24m. Find the slant height of the tent. If the cost of 1m2 canvas is ₹ 70, find the cost of canvas required to make the tent.

Answer»

It is given that

Radius of the conical tent = 24m

Height of conical tent = 10m

We know that

Slant height of conical tent can be written as

l = √(r2 + h2)

By substituting the values

l = √(242 + 102)

On further calculation

l = √(576 + 100) = √ 676

So we get

l = 26m

We know that

Curved surface area of conical tent = πrl

By substituting the values

Curved surface area of conical tent = (22/7) × 24 × 26

So we get

Curved surface area of conical tent = (13728/7) m2

It is given that the cost of 1mcanvas = ₹ 70

So the cost of (13728/7) m2 canvas = ₹ 70 × (13728/7) = ₹ 137280

Therefore, the slant height of the tent is 26m and the cost of canvas required to make the tent is ₹ 137280.

Find the total surface area of a cone, if its slant height is 21m and diameter of its base is 24m.

Answer»

It is given that

Diameter of the cone = 24m

Radius of the cone = 24/2 = 12m

Slant height of the cone = 21m

We know that

Total surface area of a cone = πr (l + r)

By substituting the values

Total surface area of a cone = (22/7) × 12 (21+12)

On further calculation

Total surface area of a cone = (22/7) × 12 × 33

So we get

Total surface area of a cone = 1244.57 m2

Therefore, the total surface area of a cone is 1244.57 m2.

A milk container is made of metal sheet in the shape of frustum of a cone whose volume is 10459 \(\frac{3}7\) cm3. The radii of its lower and upper circular ends are 8 cm and 20 cm respectively. Find the cost of metal sheet used in making the container at the rate of Rs. 1.40 per cm2

Answer»

Given: 

volume of the frustum = 10459 \(\frac{3}7\) cm3 

Radii of lower and upper ends resp.: r’ = 8 cm and r’’ = 20 cm

Volume = \(\frac{1}3π(r'^2 + r"^2 + r'r")h\)

⇒ \(\frac{1}3π(8^2 + 20^2 + 8\times20)\times{h}\) = 10459 \(\frac{3}7\)

⇒ h = 16 cm 

Let slant height be l 

Slant height, l = \(\sqrt{(r' - r")^2 + h^2}\)

⇒ l = \(\sqrt{(20 - 8)^2 + 16^2}\)

⇒ l = 20 cm 

Total surface area of the frustum = π(r’ + r’’)l + πr’2 + πr’’2 

= π(20 + 8)20 + π (20)2 + π (8)2 

= 3218.29 cm2 

cost of metal sheet used in making the container at the rate of Rs. 1.40 per cm2 

= 3218.28 × 1.40 

= Rs 4506

A container made of a metal sheet open at the top is of the form of a frustum of cone, whose height is 16 cm and the radii of its lower and upper circular edges are 8 cm and 20 cm respectively. Find(i) The cost of metal sheet used to make the container if it costs Rs. 10 per 100 cm2.(ii) The cost of milk at the rate of Rs. 35 per liter which can fill it completely.

Answer»

Radius of lower end = r = 8 cm

Radius of upper end = R = 20 cm

Height of container frustum = h = 16 cm

Cost of 100 cm2 metal sheet = Rs 10

So, Cost of 1 cm2 metal sheet = 10/100 = Rs 0.1

Let l be the slant height.

l2 = (R-r)2 + h2

= (20-8)2 + 162

= 256 + 144

= 400

or l = 20 cm

Surface area of frustum of the cone = πr2 + π(R + r)l cm2

= π[ (20 + 8 )20 + 82]

= π[560 + 64]

= 624 X ( 22/7 )

= 1961.14 cm2

(i) Find cost of metal sheet used to make the container if it costs Rs. 10 per 100 cm2

Cost of metal sheet per 100 cm2 = Rs. 10

Cost of metal for Rs. 1961.14 cm2 = (1961.14 x10)/100 = Rs. 196.114

(ii) Find the volume of frustum:

Volume of frustum = 1/3 πh(r2 + R2 + rR)

= 1/3 x 22/7 x 16(82 + 202 + 8×20)

= 1/3 x 22/7 x 16(64 + 400 + 160)

= 10345.4208 cm3

= 10.345 liters

Using

1000 cm3 = 1 litre

1 cm= 1/1000 litre

Cost of 1 liter milk = Rs. 35

Cost of 10.345 liter milk = Rs. 35 x 10.345 = Rs. 363 (approx)

The radius of a cone is √2 times the height of the cone. A cube of maximum possible volume is cut from the same cone. What is the ratio of volume of the cone to the volume of the cube?(a) 3.18 π(b) 2.25 π (c) 2.35 π(d) None of these

Answer»

Answer : (b) = 2.25 π 

Let each side of the cube be a cm. 

Then DE = diagonal of square face = √2a 

⇒ DG = \(\frac{\sqrt{2}a}{2}\) = \(\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}\) cm.

Let the radius of the cone, i.e., AF = FB = r cm. 

Height FC = h cm. 

Given, r = h√2 

In similar triangles, AFC and DGC

\(\frac{AF}{FC}=\frac{DG}{GC}\)  ⇒ \(\frac{r}{h} = \frac{\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}}{(h-a)}\)  

⇒ \(\frac{a/\sqrt{2}}{h-a} = \sqrt{2} \)  

⇒ a = 2(h-a) ⇒ h = \(\frac{3a}{2}\) , r = \(\frac{3a}{2}\)  \(\times \,\sqrt{2}\) 

∴  Volume of cone : Volume of cube = \(\frac{\frac{1}{3}\pi \times \big(\frac{3a\sqrt{2}}{2}\big)^2 \times \frac{3a}{2}}{a^3}\)  

\(\frac{9}{4} a^3\pi :a^3 = \frac{9}{4}\pi\)

What is the volume of each sphere ? (a) \(\frac{V}{12}\)(b) \(\frac{V}{9}\)(c) \(\frac{V}{8}\)(d) \(\frac{V}{6}\)

Answer»

(d) \(\frac{V}{6}\)

Volume of remaining metal = Volume of cylinder – Volume of cone 

= πr2h – \(\frac13πr^2h=\frac23πr^2h=\frac23V\)

Volume of 4 spheres = \(\frac23\)

⇒ Volume of one sphere = \(\frac{\frac23V}{4}=\frac{V}{6}.\)

Volume and surface area of a solid hemisphere are numerically equal. What is the diameter of the hemisphere?

Answer»

We know that

Volume of solid hemisphere = Surface area of solid hemisphere

So we get

2/3 πr3 = 3 πr2

It can be written as

r3/ r2 = (3 × π × 3)/ (2 × π)

We get

r = 9/2 units

So the diameter = 2 (9/2) = 9 units

Therefore, the diameter of the hemisphere is 9 units.

Find the volume, the lateral surface area, the total surface area and the diagonal of a cube, each of whose edges measures 9m. (Take √3 = 1.73)

Answer»

It is given that each edge of a cube = 9m

We know that

Volume of cube = a3

By substituting the values

Volume of cube = 93

So we get

Volume of cube = 729 m3

We know that

Lateral surface area of cube = 4a2

By substituting the values

Lateral surface area of cube = 4 × 92

So we get

Lateral surface area of cube = 4 × 81 = 324 m2

We know that

Total surface area of cube = 6a2

By substituting the values

Total surface area of cube = 6 × 92

So we get

Total surface area of cube = 6 × 81 = 486 m2

We know that

Diagonal of cube = √3 a

By substituting the values

Diagonal of cube = 1.73 × 9 = 15.57 m

Therefore, the volume is 729 m3, lateral surface area is 324 m2, total surface area is 486 m2 and the diagonal of cube is 15.57 m.

The edges of a cuboid have their volumes in the ratio 1:2:3 and its surface area is 88cm2. The volume of the cuboid is(a) 48 cm3 (b) 64 cm3 (c) 96 cm3 (d) 120 cm3

Answer»

(a) 48 cm3

Explanation:

Let a be the length of smallest edge.

The edges are in the proportion a: 2a: 3a

We know that total surface area of cuboid= 2(l b + b h + h l)

Surface area = 2 (2 a2 + 3 a2 + 6 a2)

88 = 22 a2

a = 2

2a=4

3a = 6

We know that volume of cuboid= length × breadth × height

V = 2 × 4 × 6

V = 48

A frustum of a right circular cone has a diameter of base 20 cm, of top 12 cm, and height 3 cm. Find the area of its whole surface and volume.

Answer»

For frustum: 

Base radius, r’ = \(\frac{20}2\) = 10 cm 

Top radius, r’’ = \(\frac{12}2\) = 6 cm 

Height, h = 3 cm 

Volume = \(\frac{1}3π(r'^2 + r"^2 + r'r")h\)

\(\frac{1}3π(10^2 + 6^2 + 10\times6)\times3\)

= 616 cub. cm 

Let l be the slant height of the cone, 

then 

⇒ l = \(\sqrt{(r' - r")^2 + h^2}\)

⇒ l = \(\sqrt{(10 - 6)^2 + 3^2}\)

⇒ l = 5 cm 

Total surface area of the frustum = π (r’ + r’’) × l + πr’2 + πr’’2 

= π (20 + 10) × 15.620 + π (10)2 + π (6)2 

= 678.85 cm2

Radius of top of the bucket, r’ = \(\frac{40}2\) = 20 cm 

Radius of bottom of the bucket, r’’ = \(\frac{20}2\) = 10 cm 

Depth, h = 12 cm 

Volume of the bucket = \(\frac{1}3π(r'^2 + r"^2 + r'r")h\)

\(\frac{1}3π(20^2 + 10^2 + 20\times10)\times12\)

= 8800 cub. cm 

Let l be slant height of the bucket 

⇒ l = \(\sqrt{(r'^2 - r"^2}) + h^2\)

⇒ l = \(\sqrt{(20^2 - 10^2) + 12^2}\)

⇒ l = 15.62 cm 

Total surface area of bucket = π (r’ + r’’) × l + πr’’2 

= π (20 + 10) × 15.620 + π (10)2 

= 17.81 dm2 

Cost of tin sheet = 1.20 × 17.87 

= Rs 21.40

Answer»

(c) 2 cm.

Let the internal radius of the shell be r cm.

∴ Internal volume of the shell = \(\frac43πr^3\) cu. cm

External radius of the shell = \(\frac{21}{2}\) cm.

External volume of the shell = \(\frac43\times\frac{22}{7}\times\frac{21}{2}\times\frac{21}{2}\times\frac{21}{2}\) cu. cm

= 4851 cu. cm. 

Weight of 1 cu. cm of metal = 10g.

∴ Volume of the metal in the shell = \(22775\frac5{21}\times \frac{1}{10}\) cu. cm

\(\frac{478280}{21}\times\frac{1}{10}\) cu. cm = \(\frac{47828}{21}\) cu. cm

∴ Internal vol. of the shell = \(4851-\frac{47828}{21}=\frac{54043}{21}\) cu. cm

⇒ \(\frac43πr^3=\frac{54043}{21}\) ⇒ r\(\frac{54043\times3\times7}{21\times4\times22}\) = 614.125

⇒ \(r = 8.5 \) cm

∴ Thickness of shell = 10.5 cm – 8.5 cm = 2 cm

What is the locus of z, if amplitude of z – 2 – 3i is π/4 ?

Answer»

Let z = x + iy. Then z – 2 – 3i = (x – 2) + i (y – 3)

Let θ be the amplitude of z – 2 – 3i. Then tanθ = (y-3)/(x-2)

⇒ tan π/4 =  (y-3)/(x-2)   [since  θ=π/4 ]

⇒ 1 =  (y-3)/(x-2) i.e. x – y + 1 = 0

Hence, the locus of z is a straight line.

If 1 cm3 of cast iron weighs 21g, find the weight of a cast iron pipe of length 1m with a bore of 3cm in which the thickness of the metal is 1cm.

Answer»

We know that

Internal radius = 3/2 = 1.5cm

External radius = 1.5 + 1 = 2.5cm

We know that

Volume of cast iron = (π × (2.5)2 × 100 – π × (1.5)2 × 100)

Taking the common terms out

Volume of cast iron = π × 100 × (2.52 – 1.52)

On further calculation

Volume of cast iron = (22/7) × 100 × (6.25 – 2.25)

So we get

Volume of cast iron = (22/7) × 100 × 4 = 1257.142 cm3

It is given that 1cm3 of cast iron weighs 21g

We know that 1kg = 1000g

So the weight of cast iron pipe = 1257.142 × (21/1000) = 26.4kg

Therefore, the weight of cast iron pipe is 26.4 kg.

height of the tent, H = 77 dm = 7.7 m 

Height of the cylindrical portion, h = 44 dm = 4.4 m 

∴ Height of the conical portion, h’ = 7.7 – 4.4 = 3.3 m 

Radius of the cylinder, r = \(\frac{36}2\) = 18 m 

Curved surface area of the cylindrical portion of the tent 

= 2πr2

= 2 × π × (18)2 × 4.4 

= 158.4 π m2 

Slant height of the conical portion of the tent = \(\sqrt{3.3^2 + 18^2}\)

= 18.3 m 

∴ Curved surface area of the conical portion = π × 18 × 18.3 

= 329.4π m2 

∴ Total surface area of the tent = 158.4 π + 329.4 π 

= 487.8 π 

= 1533.09 m2 

∴ Canvas required to make the tent = 1533.09 m2 

Total cost of the canvas = 1533.09 × 3.50 

= Rs 5365.80

A tent of height 77 dm is in the form of a right circular cylinder of diameter 36 m and height 44 dm surmounted by a right circular cone. Find the cost of the canvas at Rs. 3.50 per m2.

Answer»

Given,

Height of the tent = 77 dm

Height of a surmounted cone = 44 dm

Height of the Cylindrical Portion = Height of the tent – Height of the surmounted Cone

= 77 – 44

= 33 dm = 3.3 m

And, given diameter of the cylinder (d) = 36 m

So, its radius (r) of the cylinder = 36/2 = 18 m

Let’s consider L as the slant height of the cone.

Then, we know that

L2 = r2 + h2

L2 = 182 + 3.32

L= 324 + 10.89

L2 = 334.89

L = 18.3 m

Thus, slant height of the cone (L) = 18.3 m

Now, the Curved Surface area of the Cylinder (S1) = 2πrh

S1 = 2π (184.4) m

And, the Curved Surface area of the cone (S2) = πrL

S= π × 18 × 18.3 m

So, the total curved surface of the tent (S) = S+ S2

S = S1 + S2

S = (2π18 × 4.4) + (π18 × 18.3)

S = 1533.08 m2

Hence, the total Curved Surface Area (S) = 1533.08 m2

Next,

The cost of 1 m2 canvas = Rs 3.50

So, 1533.08 m2 of canvas will cost = Rs (3.50 x 1533.08)

= Rs 5365.8

A rocket is in the form of a circular cylinder closed at the lower end with a cone of the same radius attached to the top. The cylinder is of radius 2.5 m and height 21 m and the cone has the slant height 8 m. Calculate the total surface area and the volume of the rocket.

Answer»

Given,

Radius of the cylindrical portion of the rocket (R) = 2.5 m

Height of the cylindrical portion of the rocket (H) = 21 m

Slant Height of the Conical surface of the rocket (L) = 8 m

Curved Surface Area of the Cone (S1) = πRL = π(2.5)(8)= 20π

And,

Curved Surface Area of the Cone (S2) = 2πRH + πR2

S= (2π × 2.5 × 21) + π (2.5)2

S2 = (π × 105) + (π × 6.25)

Thus, the total curved surface area S is

S = S1 + S2

S = (π20) + (π105) + (π6.25)

S = (22/7)(20 + 105 + 6.25) = 22/7 x 131.25

S = 412.5 m2

Therefore, the total Surface Area of the Conical Surface = 412.5 m2

Now, calculating the volume of the rocket

Volume of the conical part of the rocket (V1) = 1/3 × 22/7 × R2 × h

V1 = 1/3 × 22/7 × (2.5)2 × h

Let, h be the height of the conical portion in the rocket.

We know that,

L2 = R+ h2

h2 = L– R2 = 82 – 2.52

h = 7.6 m

Using the value of h, we will get

Volume of the conical part (V1) = 1/3 × 22/7 × 2.52 × 7.6 m2   = 49.67 m2      

Next,

Volume of the Cylindrical Portion (V2) = πR2h

V2 = 22/7 × 2.52 × 21 = 412.5 m2

Thus, the total volume of the rocket = V1 + V2

V = 412.5 + 49.67 = 462.17 m2

Hence, the total volume of the Rocket is 462.17 m

A solid is in the form of a right circular cylinder, with a hemisphere at one end and a cone at the other end. The radius of the common base is 3.5 cm and the heights of the cylindrical and conical portions are 10 cm and 6 cm, respectively. Find the total surface area of the solid.( use π = \(\frac{22}7\))

Answer»

Height of cylinder (h) = 10 cm 

Height of conical part = 6 cm 

Slant height of cone (l) = \(\sqrt{r^2 + h^2}\)

⇒ l = \(\sqrt{3.5^2 + 6^2}\)

⇒ l = 48.25 cm 

Curved surface area of cone = πrl 

= π (3.5) (48.25) 

= 76.408 cm2 …(1) 

Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh 

= 2π (3.5) (10) 

= 220 cm…(2) 

Curved surface area of hemisphere = 2πr2 

= 2π (3.5)2 

= 77 cm2 ….(3) 

∴ Total curved surface area = Curved surface area of(cone + cylinder + hemisphere) 

= 76.408 + 220 + 77 

= 373.408 

∴ Total surface area of solid = 373.408 cm2

Write ‘True’ or ‘False’ and justify your answer:A solid cylinder of radius r and height h is placed over other cylinder of same height and radius. The total surface area of the shape so formed is 4πrh + 4πr2.

Answer»

False

Explanation:

According to the question,

When one cylinder is placed over another, the base of first cylinder and top of other cylinder will not be covered in total surface area.

We know that,

Total surface area of cylinder = 2πrh + 2πr2h, where r = base radius and h = height

Total surface area of shape formed = 2(Total surface of single cylinder) – 2(Area of base of cylinder)

= 2(2πrh + 2πr2) – 2(πr2)

= 4πrh + 2πr2

Write ‘True’ or ‘False’ and justify your answer:A solid ball is exactly fitted inside the cubical box of side a. The volume of the ball is 4/3πa3.

Answer»

False

Explanation:

Let the radius of sphere = r

When a solid ball is exactly fitted inside the cubical box of side a,

We get,

Diameter of ball = Edge length of cube

2r = a

Radius, r = a/2

We also know that,

Volume of sphere = 4/3πr3

Volume of ball = 4/3π(a/2)3 = 4/3π(a3/8) = 1/6πa3

Has the poet used exaggeration for special effect? Find a few examples of it and read those lines aloud.

Answer»

Yes, the poet has used exaggerations such as the cat’s defiance of gravity and it being called a ‘monster of depravity’ and a ‘fiend’ in order to enhance the mystery surrounding the cat. Since the cat is shown to be super-fast as nobody from the Scotland Yard to the Flying Squad can catch it on the scene of crime, these exaggerations have been used by Eliot to lay stress on this monstrous s as well as surprising and mysterious nature of Macavity.

Examples:

(i) ‘He’s the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad’s despair’.

(ii) ‘He breaks the law of gravity’.

(iii) ‘His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare’.
