The combined perimeter of the top and bottom circular faces of a right circular cylinder is 176 cm. The volume of the cylinder is given as 3528π cm³. If the height of the cylinder is three-fourths the length of a side of a square, what is the area of the square (in cm²)?

  1. 400
  2. 784
  3. 476
  4. 576
  5. 625

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : 576

Two Figures Question 1 Detailed Solution

Calculation

ATQ, 2 ×(2πr) = 176

Or, 2πr = 88

Or, πr = 44

So, r = 14 cm

Volume of the cylinder = [22/7] r2h = 3528π

So, 196h = 3528

So, h = 18

Side of the square = 18 × [4 / 3] = 24 cm

Required area = 24 × 24 = 576 cm

Two Figures Question 2:

A solid iron cube of edge 24 cm is melted and recast into a rectangular sheet of thickness 2 mm. If the length (l) and breadth (b) of the sheet are in the ratio 6:5, then l + b (in cm) is

  1. 484
  2. 528
  3. 561
  4. 594

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : 528

Two Figures Question 2 Detailed Solution

Given:

Edge of solid iron cube = 24 cm

Thickness of rectangular sheet = 2 mm = 0.2 cm

Ratio of length (l) to breadth (b) = 6:5

Formula Used:

Volume of cube = Volume of rectangular sheet

Volume of cube = Edge3

Volume of rectangular sheet = Length × Breadth × Thickness

l / b = 6 / 5

Calculation:

Volume of cube = Edge3

⇒ Volume = 243

⇒ Volume = 13824 cm3

Volume of rectangular sheet = l × b × 0.2

⇒ 13824 = l × b × 0.2

⇒ l × b = 13824 / 0.2

⇒ l × b = 69120

l / b = 6 / 5

⇒ l = 6k, b = 5k

⇒ l × b = 6k × 5k

⇒ 69120 = 30k2

⇒ k2 = 69120 / 30

⇒ k2 = 2304

⇒ k = √2304

⇒ k = 48

l = 6k = 6 × 48 = 288 cm

b = 5k = 5 × 48 = 240 cm

l + b = 288 + 240

⇒ l + b = 528 cm

The correct answer is option 2 (528 cm).

Two Figures Question 3:

A solid metallic right circular cylinder of radius 3 inches and height 8 inches is melted and recast into identical hemispheres whose base is equal to the base of the cylinder. Then the number of hemispheres thus formed is

  1. 2
  2. 4
  3. 6
  4. 8

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : 4

Two Figures Question 3 Detailed Solution

Given:

Radius of cylinder = 3 inches.

Height of cylinder = 8 inches.

Formula Used:

Volume of cylinder = πr2h

Volume of hemisphere = (2/3)πr3

Calculation:

Volume of cylinder = π × 32 × 8

⇒ Volume of cylinder = π × 9 × 8

⇒ Volume of cylinder = 72π cubic inches

Volume of hemisphere = (2/3)π × 33

⇒ Volume of hemisphere = (2/3)π × 27

⇒ Volume of hemisphere = 18π cubic inches

Number of hemispheres = Volume of cylinder / Volume of hemisphere

⇒ Number of hemispheres = 72π / 18π

⇒ Number of hemispheres = 4

The number of hemispheres formed is 4.

Two Figures Question 4:

From a wooden cube of edge 14 cm, a right circular cone of maximum volume is carved out. If the volume of the removed portion of the cube is V, then 3 V (in cu.cm) is

  1. 2744
  2. 2025.33
  3. 868
  4. 6076

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : 6076

Two Figures Question 4 Detailed Solution

Given:

Edge of the wooden cube = 14 cm.

Formula Used:

Volume of the cube = Edge3

Volume of the cone = (1/3) × π × r2 × h

Maximum volume of the cone when it is carved from a cube: r = h/2, where h = edge of the cube.

Volume of the removed portion = Volume of the cube - Volume of the cone.

Calculation:

Volume of the cube = Edge3

⇒ Volume of the cube = 143

⇒ Volume of the cube = 2744 cm3

Radius (r) of the cone = h / 2 = 14 / 2 = 7 cm

Height (h) of the cone = 14 cm

Volume of the cone = (1/3) × π × r2 × h

⇒ Volume of the cone = (1/3) × 22/7 × 72 × 14

⇒ Volume of the cone = (1/3) × 22 × 49 × 2

⇒ Volume of the cone = (1/3) × 2156

⇒ Volume of the cone = 718.67 cm3

Volume of the removed portion (V) = Volume of the cube - Volume of the cone

⇒ V = 2744 - 718.67

⇒ V = 2025.33 cm3

3V = 3 × 2025.33

⇒ 3V = 6076 cm3

The value of 3V is 6076 cm3.

Two Figures Question 5:

The part above the cone filled with ice-cream looks as a hemisphere surmounted on its top. If the height and the radius of the cone are 13 cm and 4 cm respectively, then the volume (in cu.cm) of the ice-cream is

  1. 198
  2. 176
  3. 352
  4. 396

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 352

Two Figures Question 5 Detailed Solution

Given:

Height of cone = 13 cm

Radius of cone = 4 cm

Radius of hemisphere = 4 cm

Formula Used:

Volume of cone = (1/3) × π × r2 × h

Volume of hemisphere = (2/3) × π × r3

Total volume = Volume of cone + Volume of hemisphere

Calculation:

Volume of cone = (1/3) × π × 42 × 13

⇒ Volume of cone = (1/3) × π × 16 × 13

⇒ Volume of cone = (208/3)π

Volume of hemisphere = (2/3) × π × 43

⇒ Volume of hemisphere = (2/3) × π × 64

⇒ Volume of hemisphere = (128/3)π

Total volume = (208/3)π + (128/3)π

⇒ Total volume = (336/3)π

⇒ Total volume = 112π

Using π ≈ 3.14:

Total volume = 112 × 3.14

⇒ Total volume = 351.68 cm3

The volume of the ice-cream is approximately 352 cm3.

Radius of sphere = 12 cm

Height of cone = 12 cm

Formula:

Volume of cone = (1/3) × πr2h

Volume of sphere = (4/3) × πr3

Calculation:

Let radius of the cone be r cm

According to the question

(1/3) × π × r2 × 12 = (4/3) × π × 12 × 12 × 12

⇒ r2 = 12 × 12 × 4

⇒ r = 12 × 2

∴ r = 24 cm

Two cubes each of volume 729 cm3 are joined end to end. The total surface area of the resulting cuboid is:

  1. 841 cm2
  2. 729 cm2
  3. 810 cm2

Download Solution PDF

FORMULA USED:

Total surface area of cuboid = 2lb + 2bh + 2hl or 2(lb + bh + hl)

Here l, b and h are length, breadth and height.

Volume of cube = a3

F1 Shailendra K Sunny 10.6.21 D1

CALCULATION:

a3 = 729

⇒ a = 9 cm.

Length of cuboid = 9 + 9 = 18 cm.

Breadth = 9 cm

Height = 9 cm

Total surface area of cuboid = 2 (18 × 9 + 9 × 9 + 9 × 18) = 810 cm2

∴ Total surface area of the cuboid is 810 cm2

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : 6 cm

Two Figures Question 9 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

GIVEN:

Radius of sphere = 3 cm

Height of the cone = Half of the radius of the cone

CONCEPT:

Volume of Sphere = Volume of Cone

FORMULA USED:

Volume of Sphere = 4/3 × πR3

Volume of Cone = 1/3 × πr2h

CALCULATION:

Suppose the height and radius of the cone are ‘h’ and ‘r’ respectively.

∴ h = r/2

Now,

Applying the formula:

\(\frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times r \times r \times h\)

Put h = r/2

⇒ \(\frac{4}{3} \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = \frac{1}{3} \times r \times r \times \frac{r}{2}\)

⇒ r3 = 216

⇒ r = 6

∴ Radius of the cone = 6 cm.

Two Figures Question 10 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Given:

A glass cylinder with diameter 20 cm has water to a height of 9 cm. A metal cube of 8 cm edge is immersed in it completely.

Formula used:

Volume of cylinder = Πr2h

Volume of cube = a3 

F1 RaviS Madhuri 10.03.2022 D1

Calculation:

Diameter of cylinder = 20 cm

⇒ Radius of cylinder = 10 cm

Now, Volume of water displaced (because of which water will rise in cylinder) = Volume of cube

∴ πr2h = a3

⇒ 3.142 × 10 × 10 × h = 83

⇒ 3142 × 1/10 × h = 512

⇒ h = 5120/3142 

⇒ h = 1.62 cm ~ 1.6 cm

The height of a solid cylinder is 30 cm and the diameter of its base is 10 cm. Two identical conical holes each of radius 5 cm and height 12 cm are drilled out. What is the surface area (in cm2) of the remaining solid?

  1. 430π
  2. 120π
  3. 33π 
  4. 230π

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : 430π

Two Figures Question 11 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Given:

Height of cylinder = 30 cm

Radius of cylinder = 5 cm

Height of cone = 12 cm

Radius of cone = 5 cm

Formula used:

The surface area of cylinder = 2πrh

The surface area of cone = πrl

l2 = h2 + r2

Where,

l = slant height of the cone

h = height

r = radius

Calculation:

F4 Madhuri SSC 29.04.2022 D1

l2 = h2 + r2

⇒ l2 = 122 + 52

⇒ l2 = 144 + 25

⇒ l = 13 cm

The surface area of the remaining figure = surface area of cylinder + 2 × Curved surface area of the cone

⇒ 2πrh + 2πrl

⇒ 2πr(h + l)

⇒ 2π × 5(30 + 13)

⇒ 430π

∴ The surface area of the remaining solid is 430π.

 Additional Information

When the cones are drilled out then the volume of a cylinder is decreasing. But the surface area will increase. Surface area means the area which we can touch.  When the cones drilled out then we can touch both outer and the inner surface. So we have to add both surface areas. 

A few lead spheres of diameter 6 cm are dropped into a cylindrical beaker containing some water such that they are fully submerged. If the diameter of the beaker is 9 cm and the water level has risen by 32 cm, find the number of lead spheres dropped into the beaker.

  2. 18
  3. 15
  4. 16

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : 18

Two Figures Question 12 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Given:

The radius of the sphere is 3 cm

Radius & height of cylinder are 4.5 cm & 32cm

Formula used:

The volume of sphere = 4/3πr³

The volume of cylinder = πr²h

Calculations:

The volume of sphere inserted = volume of water risen

Radius of sphere = 6/2= 3 cm

Radius of cylinder = 9/2 = 4.5

So,

(4/3)π × (3)³ × Number of sphere =  π (4.5) × (4.5) × 32

⇒ Number of sphere = 18

∴ The correct choice is option 2.

F1 Vikash k 01-11-21 Savita D1

Given:

Cube of side 20 cm is recast into a cuboid of length and breadth 40cm respectively. 

Formulas used:

Volume of cube = (side)3 

Volume of cuboid = l × b × h 

Diagonal of cuboid = √ l2 + b2 + h2

Calculation:

Volume of cube = Volume of cuboid 

⇒ 20 × 20 × 20 = 40 × 40 × h

⇒ h = (20 × 20 × 20) ÷ (40 × 40)

⇒ h = 5 cm 

Diagonal of the cuboid = √ 402 + 402 + 52

⇒ √ 1600 + 1600 + 25 = √ 3225

⇒ 5√129 cm

∴ The diagonal of the cuboid = 5√129 cm
