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 4rh + 4r2.
Answer:
False
As one cylinder is placed over another, so the base of first cylinder and top of other cylinder will not be covered in total surface area.
Now, the total surface area of cylinder = 2rh + 2r2h, where r = base radius and h = height.
So,
Total surface area of shape formed = 2(Total surface of single cylinder) − 2(Area of base of cylinder)
= 2(2rh + 2r2) − 2(r2)
= 4rh + 2r2

Question 3:
Write ‘True’ or ‘False’ and justify your answer in this question:
A solid cone of radius r and height h is placed over a solid cylinder having same base radius and height as that of a cone. The total surface area of the combined solid is .
Answer:
False
When a solid cone is placed over a solid cylinder of same base radius, the base of cone and top of the cylinder will not be covered in total surface area.
As, the height of cone and cylinder is same.
Total surface area of shape formed = Total surface area of cone + Total Surface area of cylinder 2(Area of base)
Total surface area of cone = rl + r2
Total surface area of cylinder = 2rh + 2r2
∴ Total surface area of shape formed = rl + r2 + 2rh + 2r2 − 2r2
= rl + r2 + 2rh
Here, when we placed a cone over a cylinder, then one base is common for both.
So, the total surface area of combined solid = rl + r2 + 2rh

Question 4:
A cone of radius 8 cm and height 12 cm is divided into two parts by a plane through the mid-point of its axis parallel to its base. Find the ratio of the volumes of two parts.
Answer:
Let ORN be the cone, when it is divided into two parts by a plane through the mid-point of its axis parallel to its base, the upper and lower parts obtained are cone and a frustum respectively.
Given,
Height of cone = h = OM = 12 cm
Let P be the mid-point of cone, then OP = PM = 6 cm.
Now, in OPD and OMN,

Question 5:
Two identical cubes each of volume 64 cm3 are joined together end to end. What is the surface area of the resulting cuboid?
Answer:
Let a be the side of one cube.
As two cubes are joined together, the surfaces that are joined together will not be included in the surface area of resulting cuboid.
So,
Surfaces area of resulting cuboid = 2(Total surface area of a cube) − 2(area of single surface)
⇒ Surface area of resulting cuboid = 2(6a2) − 2(a2) = 10a2 (âµ total surface area of cube = 6a2)
Also,
Volume of cube = a3
⇒ 64 = a3 (Given volume of cube is 64 cm3)
⇒ a = 4 cm
Therefore,
Surface area of resulting cuboid = 10a2 = 10(4)2 = 160 cm2

⇒ Volume of cube = (7)3 (âµ Volume of cube = a3)
= 343 cm3
For the cone,
Radius, r = 3 cm
Height, h = 7 cm

∴ Volume of wall = 24(0.4)(6) = 57.6 m3
As of this volume is covered by mortar, therefore of this volume is covered by bricks.
∴ Volume of wall covered by bricks =
= 51.84 cm3
For one brick,
Length, l = 25 cm = 0.25 m (âµ 1 m = 100 cm)
Breadth, b = 16 cm = 0.16 m
Height, h = 10 cm = 0.10 m
∴ Volume of one brick = lbh = 0.25(0.16)(0.10) m3
Hence, the total number of bricks used in constructing the wall is 12960.

Question 2:
A rectangular water tank of base 11 m × 6 m contains water upto a height of 5 m. If the water in the tank is transferred to a cylindrical tank of radius 3.5 m, find the height of the water level in the tank.
Answer:
Volume of water in tank = volume of cuboidal tank up to a height of 5 m
For the cuboidal tank,
Length, l = 11 m
Breadth, b = 6 m
Height, h = 5 m
Now,
Volume of tank = lbh
where, l, b and h are the length, breadth and height of tank respectively.
∴ Volume of water = 11(6)(5)
= 330 m3
Also, let the cylindrical tank is filled up to a height of h m.
Base radius of cylindrical tank, r = 3.5 m
Now,
Volume of a cylinder =
where r is base radius and h is the height of cylinder.
⇒ Volume of water in cylindrical tank =

Question 3:
How many cubic centimetres of iron is required to construct an open box whose external dimensions are 36 cm, 25 cm and 16.5 cm provided the thickness of the iron is 1.5 cm. If one cubic cm of iron weighs 7.5 g, find the weight of the box.
Answer:
Let the length (l), breadth(b) and height(h) be the external dimensions of an open box and thickness be x.
Now,
Volume of metal used in box = Volume of external box − Volume of internal box
For the external box,
Length, l = 36 cm
Breadth, b = 25 cm
Height, h = 16.5 cm
Also, volume of cuboid = lbh
∴ Volume of external box = 36(25)(16.5)
= 14850 cm3
The box is open from top.
So, for the internal box,
Length, l' = Length of external box − 2(thickness of box) = 36 − 2(1.5) = 33 cm [i.e. the thickness of two sides is deduced]
Breadth, b' = Breadth of external box − 2(thickness of box) = 25 − 2(1.5) = 22 cm [i.e. the thickness of two sides is deduced]
Height, h' = Height of external box − thickness of box = 16.5 − 1.5 = 15 cm [i.e. the thickness of bottom is reduced]
Volume of internal box = 33(22)(15) = 10890
Volume of metal in box = 14850 − 10890 = 3960 cm3
Also,
3960 cm3 weighs 3960 × 7.5 = 29,700 g [1 cm3 weighs 7.5 g]
Hence, the weight of box is 29,700 g i.e. 29.7 kg.

Answer:
For the barrel,
Base diameter = 5 mm = 0.5 cm (âµ 1 cm = 10 mm)
⇒ Base radius, r = 0.25 cm
Height, h = 7 cm
Now,
Volume of a cylinder = πr2h
where, r is base radius and h is the height of cylinder.
Here,
Volume of barrel =
= 1.375 cm3
So,
1.375 cm3 of ink can write 3300 words.
The number of words that can be written by 1 cm3 = = 2400 words
[Also, of a litre i.e. 0.2 L = 200 cm3] (âµ 1 L = 1000 cm3)
∴ Number of words that can be written by 200 cm3 = 2400(200)
= 480000 words
Hence, one-fifth of a litre ink can write 480000 words on an average.

Question 5:
Water flows at the rate of 10 m/minute through a cylindrical pipe 5 mm in diameter. How long would it take to fill a conical vessel whose diameter at the base is 40 cm and depth 24 cm?
Answer:
Let the time taken by pipe to fill vessel is t minutes.
As water flows 10 m in 1 minute, it will flow 10t meters in t minutes.
Also,
Volume of conical vessel = Volume of water that passes through pipe in t minutes
Now, for the conical pipe,
Base Diameter = 40 cm
⇒ Base radius, r = 20 cm
Height, h = 24 cm
The volume of conical vessel =
=
= 3200 cm3
For the cylindrical pipe,
Base diameter = 5 mm = 0.5 cm (âµ 1 cm = 10 mm)
⇒ Base radius, r = 0.25 cm
Height, h = 10t m = 1000t cm (âµ water covers 10t m distance in pipe)
Now,
Volume of a cylinder =
∴ Volume of water passed in pipe = (0.25)2(1000t) = 62.5t cm3
So,
62.5t = 3200
⇒ 62.5t = 3200
⇒ t = 51.2 minutes
⇒ t = 51 minutes 12 seconds (âµ 0.2 minutes = 0.2(60) seconds = 12 seconds)
Hence, it will take 51 minutes 12 seconds to fill a conical vessel whose diameter at the base is 40 cm and depth 24 cm.

⇒ Base radius, r = 4.5 cm
Height, h = 3.5 cm
Now, the slant height is given as:
Therefore,
Volume of rice = Volume of conical heap
=
=
= 74.25 cm3
Also,
Canvas requires to just cover heap = Curved surface area of conical heap

Question 7:
A factory manufactures 120000 pencils daily. The pencils are cylindrical in shape each of length 25 cm and circumference of base as 1.5 cm. Determine the cost of colouring the curved surfaces of the pencils manufactured in one day at Rs 0.05 per dm2.
Answer:
The pencil is in shape of cylinder.
Let the radius of base be r cm.
Now, the circumference of base = 1.5 cm
2r = 1.5 cm (âµ Circumference of circle is 2r)
Also, the height, h = 25 cm.
Now,
Curved surface area of cylinder = 2rh
Curved surface area of pencil =
= 37.5 cm2
Cost for coloring 1 dm2 = â¹0.05
∴ Cost for coloring 0.375 dm2 (i.e. 1 pencil) = â¹0.01875 (âµ 37.5 cm2 = 0.375 dm2)
Cost for coloring 120000 pencils = 120000 × 0.01875
= â¹2250

Question 8:
Water is flowing at the rate of 15 km/h through a pipe of diameter 14 cm into a cuboidal pond which is 50 m long and 44 m wide. In what time will the level of water in pond rise by 21 cm?
Answer:
Let the time taken by pipe to fill pond is t hours.
As water flows 15 km in 1 hour, it will flow 15t meters in t hours.
Also,
Volume of cuboidal pond up to height 21 cm = Volume of water that passes through pipe in t hours
Now, for the cuboidal pond,
Length, l = 50 m
Breadth, b = 44 m
Height, h = 21 cm = 0.21 m
Also, the volume of a cuboidal tank = lbh
∴ Volume of water = 50(44)(0.21)
= 462 m3
For the cylindrical pipe,
Base diameter = 14 cm
Base radius, r = 7 cm = 0.07 m
Height, h = 15t km = 15000t m [1 km = 1000 m]
Also, the volume of a cylinder =r2h.
∴ Volume of water passed in pipe = (0.07)2(15000t)
= 231t cm3
So,
231t = 462
⇒ t = 2 hours
Time required to fill tank up to a height of 21 cm is 2 hours.

Question 9:
A solid iron cuboidal block of dimensions 4.4 m × 2.6 m × 1m is recast into a hollow cylindrical pipe of internal radius 30 cm and thickness 5 cm. Find the length of the pipe.
Answer:
For the cuboidal block,
Length, l = 4 m
Breadth, b = 2.6 m
Height, h = 1 m
Now,
Volume of a tank = lbh
∴ Volume of cuboid = 4.4(2.6)(1)
= 11.44 m3
As the volume remains same when a body is recast to another body,
∴ Volume of cylindrical pipe = 11.44 m3
Now, the internal radius, r2 = 30 cm = 0.3 m
Thickness = 5 cm = 0.05 m
External radius, r1 = Internal radius + thickness = 30 + 5 = 35 cm = 0.35 m
Let the length of pipe be h.
Also,
Volume of hollow cylinder =
where, h is height and r1 and r2 are external and internal diameters respectively
So,
Volume of pipe = h[(0.35)2 (0.3)2]
So, the length of pipe is 112 m.

Question 10:
500 persons are taking a dip into a cuboidal pond which is 80 m long and 50 m broad. What is the rise of water level in the pond, if the average displacement of the water by a person is 0.04 m3?
Answer:
Let the rise of water level in the pond be h meters, when 500 persons are taking a dip into a cuboidal pond.
Given that,
Average displacement by a person = 0.04 m3
Average displacement by 500 persons = 500 × 0.04 = 20 m3
So, the volume of water raised in pond is 20 m3.
Now,
Length of pond, l = 80 m
Breadth of pond , b = 50 m
Height is h
And
Volume of water raised in pond = 80(50)(h)
= 4000h
⇒ 20 m3 = 4000h
⇒ h = 0.005 m
= 0.5 cm (âµ 1 m = 100 cm)
So, the rise in water height is 0.5 cm.

Radius , r = 2 cm
And
Volume of hemisphere =
=
= 33.52 cm3
For the cuboidal box,
Length, l = 16 cm
Breadth, b = 8 cm
Height, h = 8 cm
Now,
Volume of cuboid = lbh where l, b and h are length, breadth and height respectively.
Here,
Volume of cuboid box = 16(8)(8)
= 1024 cm3
Volume of water = Volume of Cuboid − Volume of 16 spheres
∴ Volume of water = 1024 − 16(33.52)
= 487.6 cm3
So, the volume of water in bucket is 487.6 cm3.

where, h = height, r1 and r2 are radii of two ends (r1 > r2)
For the given bucket,
Radius of lower end, r2 = 8 cm
Radius of upper end, r1 = 20 cm
Height of container, h = 16 cm
Putting these values,

A cylindrical bucket of height 32 cm and base radius 18 cm is filled with sand. This bucket is emptied on the ground and a conical heap of sand is formed. If the height of the conical heap is 24 cm, find the radius and slant height of the heap.
Answer:
For the cylindrical bucket,
Radius, r = 18 cm
Height, h = 32 cm
Now,
Volume of cylinder = r2h
∴ Volume of sand in bucket = (18)2(32) cm3
Also, For conical heap
Let the radius be r and height, h = 24 cm (given).
Now,
Volume of Cone =
=
= cm3
As the volume of sand is constant.
Volume of sand in bucket = Volume of conical heap
⇒ (18)2 (32) = 8r2
⇒ (18)(18)(4) = r2
⇒ r = 18(2) = 36 cm
Also,
⇒ l2 = (24)2 + (36)2 (âµ l2 = h2 + r2)
= 576 + 1296
= 1872
⇒ l = 43.267 cm
Hence, the radius and slant height of heap are 36 cm and 43.267 cm respectively.

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 the cylinder. The diameter and height of the cylinder are 6 cm and 12 cm, respectively. If the the slant height of the conical portion is 5 cm, find the total surface area and volume of the rocket [Use = 3.14].
Answer:
The diagram is given as:
For the upper conical part,
Radius of base, r = 3 cm
Slant height, l = 5 cm
As,
⇒h = 4 cm
Also,
Volume of cone =
=
= cm3
Curved surface area of cone = rl = (3)(5)
= 15 cm2
For the cylindrical part,
Radius of base = Radius of base of conical part = r = 3 cm
Height, h = 12 cm
Also,
Volume of cylinder = r2h = (3)2(12)
= 108 cm3
Curved surface area of cylinder = 2rh = 2(3)(12) = 72 cm2
Volume of rocket = volume of conical part + volume of cylindrical part
Volume of rocket = 12 + 108 = 120
= 377.14 cm3
Also,
Surface area of rocket = Curved surface area of conical part + Curved surface area of Cylindrical part + Surface area of base of rocket
Surface area of base of rocket = r2 = (3)2 = 9 cm2
Therefore,
Surface area of rocket = 15 + 72 + 9 = 96 cm2
= 301.71 cm2

Question 15:
A building is in the form of a cylinder surmounted by a hemispherical vaulted dome and contains m3 of air. If the internal diameter of dome is equal to its total height above the floor, find the height of the building.
Answer:
Let the radius of surmounted hemispherical dome = r
⇒ Diameter of hemispherical dome = 2r
Given that,
Total height of dome = 2r
Height of hemispherical part = Radius of hemispherical part = r
Height of cylindrical part = r
Also,
Volume of cylinder = r2h
where, r is base radius and h is height of cylinder.
Here,
Volume of cylindrical part = r2r = r3 cm3
Now,
Volume of hemisphere = , where r is radius of hemisphere.
And

Therefore,
Volume of bowl = Volume of n bottles
For the hemispherical bowl,
Radius, r = 9 cm
Now,
Volume of a hemispherical bowl =
=
= 486 cm3
For a single cylindrical bottle,
Base radius, r = 1.5 cm
Height, h = 4 cm
Now,
Volume of cylinder = r2h
Here,
Volume of one bottle = (1.5)2(4)
= 9 cm3
As,
Volume of bowl = volume of n bottles
∴ 486 = (9)n
Hence, 54 bottles are needed to empty the bowl.

Question 17:
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 the cylinder, if the radius of the cylinder is equal to the radius of the cone.
Answer:
Whenever we placed a solid right circular cone in a right circular cylinder with full of water, then volume of a solid right circular cone is equal to the volume of water spilled from the cylinder and Total volume of water in a cylinder is equal to the volume of the cylinder.
Therefore,
Volume of water left in the cylinder = (Volume of cylinder) − (Volume of cone)
For cylinder,
Base radius, r = radius of cone = 60 cm
Height, h = 180 cm
Now,
Volume of cylinder = r2h
Volume of cylinder = (60)2(180)
= 2036571.43 cm3
For the cone
Base radius, r = 60 cm
Height, h = 120 cm
Now,
Volume of cone =
=

Question 18:
Water flows through a cylindrical pipe, whose inner radius is 1 cm, at the rate of 80 cm/sec in an empty cylindrical tank, the radius of whose base is 40 cm. What is the rise of water level in tank in half an hour?
Answer:
Water flows in 1 sec = 80 cm
Water flows in hour = = 144000 cm (âµ 1 hour = 3600 seconds)
For the cylindrical pipe,
Base radius, r = 1 cm
Height, h = water flowed in half hour = 144000 cm
Now,
Volume of cylinder = r2h
Volume of water flowed through pipe = (1)2(144000)
= 144000cm3
For the cylindrical tank,
Base radius, r = 40 cm
Let the height of water raised be h cm.
Now,
Volume of cylinder = r2h
Volume of water in tank = (40)2h
⇒ 144000 = 1600h
⇒ h = 90 cm
Hence, the level of water in cylindrical tank rises 90 cm in half an hour.

The rain water from a roof of dimensions 22 m × 20 m drains into a cylindrical vessel having diameter of base 2 m and height 3.5 m. If the rain water collected from the roof just fill the cylindrical vessel, then find the rainfall in cm.
Answer:
Let the rainfall be x cm.
Thus,
0.01x meters because 1 m = 100 cm.
For the cylindrical vessel,
Diameter of base = 2 m
Base Radius = 1 m
Height, h = 3.5 m
Now,
Volume of cylinder = r2h
So,
Volume of cylindrical vessel = (1)2(3.5)
= 11 m3
For the roof,
Length, l = 22 m
Breadth, b = 20 m
Height, h = height of rainfall = 0.01x m
Now,
Volume of cuboid = lbh
∴ Volume of water on roof = 22(20)(0.01x)
= 4.4x m3
Given that,
Volume of water on roof = volume of cuboidal vessel
⇒ 4.4x = 11
⇒ x = 2.5 cm
Hence, the height of rainfall is 2.5 cm.

The dimension of the cuboid are 10 cm, 5 cm and 4 cm. The radius of each of the conical depressions is 0.5 cm and the depth is 2.1 cm. The edge of the cubical depression is 3 cm. Find the volume of the wood in the entire stand.
Answer:
Given that,
For cuboidal stand,
Length, l = 10 cm
Breadth, b = 5 cm
Height, h = 4 cm
Now,
Volume of a cuboid = lbh
So,
Volume of cuboidal stand = 10(5)(4)
= 200 cm3
For one conical depression,
Radius, r = 0.5 cm
Height, i.e. depth, h = 2.1 cm
Also,
Volume of cone =
∴ Volume of conical depression =
= 0.55 cm3
For the cubical depression,
side = a = 3 cm
Now,
Volume of cube = a3, where a is the side of the cube.
∴ Volume of cubical depression = (3)3
= 27 cm3
Finally,
Volume of wood in the entire stand = volume of cuboidal stand − volume of 4 conical depression − volume of one cubical depression.
⇒ Volume of wood = 200 − 4(5.5) − 27
= 151 cm3
