The radii of a frustum of a cone are $28 \, cm$ and $7 \, cm$ and its height is $72 \, cm$. Find its curved surface area,total surface area,and volume.
A
$8250 \, cm^2, 10868 \, cm^2, 77616 \, cm^3$
B
$8520 \, cm^2, 10688 \, cm^2, 76716 \, cm^3$
C

D
$8520 \, cm^2, 10868 \, cm^2, 77616 \, cm^3$

Solution

(A) Given: $R = 28 \, cm$,$r = 7 \, cm$,$h = 72 \, cm$.
First,calculate the slant height $l = \sqrt{h^2 + (R - r)^2} = \sqrt{72^2 + (28 - 7)^2} = \sqrt{5184 + 441} = \sqrt{5625} = 75 \, cm$.
Curved Surface Area $(CSA)$ $= \pi(R + r)l = \frac{22}{7} \times (28 + 7) \times 75 = 22 \times 5 \times 75 = 8250 \, cm^2$.
Total Surface Area $(TSA)$ $= \text{CSA} + \pi R^2 + \pi r^2 = 8250 + \frac{22}{7} \times (28^2 + 7^2) = 8250 + \frac{22}{7} \times (784 + 49) = 8250 + 22 \times 119 = 8250 + 2618 = 10868 \, cm^2$.
Volume $= \frac{1}{3} \pi h (R^2 + r^2 + Rr) = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 72 \times (28^2 + 7^2 + 28 \times 7) = \frac{22 \times 24}{7} \times (784 + 49 + 196) = \frac{528}{7} \times 1029 = 528 \times 147 = 77616 \, cm^3$.

Substituting the values: $l = \sqrt{4^2 + (10 - 7)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 3^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \, cm$.
The curved surface area of a frustum of a cone is given by the formula $CSA = \pi (R + r) l$.
Substituting the values: $CSA = \pi (10 + 7) \times 5 = \pi (17) \times 5 = 85\pi \, cm^2$.

Substituting the values into the formula:
$V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (9) (6^2 + 4^2 + 6 \times 4)$
$V = 3 \pi (36 + 16 + 24)$
$V = 3 \pi (76)$
$V = 228 \pi \, cm^3$.

Solution

(C) Let the diameters of the two cones be $d_1$ and $d_2$,and their heights be $h_1$ and $h_2$.
The ratio of diameters is $d_1:d_2 = 2:3$,so the ratio of their radii is $r_1:r_2 = 2:3$.
The ratio of their heights is $h_1:h_2 = 9:4$.
The volume of a cone is given by $V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$.
The ratio of their volumes is $\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{\frac{1}{3}\pi r_1^2 h_1}{\frac{1}{3}\pi r_2^2 h_2} = \left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^2 \times \left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$.
Substituting the given ratios: $\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 \times \left(\frac{9}{4}\right) = \frac{4}{9} \times \frac{9}{4} = 1$.

Solution

(D) Let the diameters of the two cylinders be $d_1$ and $d_2$,and their heights be $h_1$ and $h_2$.
Given,$d_1:d_2 = 3:4$,so the radii $r_1:r_2 = 3:4$.
Given,$h_1:h_2 = 4:5$.
The volume of a cylinder is given by $V = \pi r^2 h$.
The ratio of the volumes is $\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{\pi r_1^2 h_1}{\pi r_2^2 h_2} = \left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^2 \times \left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$.
Substituting the given ratios: $\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^2 \times \left(\frac{4}{5}\right) = \frac{9}{16} \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{9 \times 1}{4 \times 5} = \frac{9}{20}$.

$h^{2}+r^{2}$

Solution

(C) In a right circular cone,the slant height $(l)$,the vertical height $(h)$,and the radius of the base $(r)$ form a right-angled triangle.
According to the Pythagorean theorem,the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Therefore,$l^{2} = h^{2} + r^{2}$.
Taking the square root on both sides,we get $l = \sqrt{h^{2} + r^{2}}$.

A
$\pi r^{2}$
B
$2\pi r^{2}$
C
$3\pi r^{2}$
D
$4\pi r^{2}$

Solution

(C) hemisphere is half of a sphere. The curved surface area of a sphere is $4\pi r^{2}$,so the curved surface area of a hemisphere is $2\pi r^{2}$.
Additionally,the base of a hemisphere is a circle with an area of $\pi r^{2}$.
Therefore,the total surface area of a hemisphere is the sum of the curved surface area and the base area: $2\pi r^{2} + \pi r^{2} = 3\pi r^{2}$.

The volume of a hemisphere is equal to:
A
$\frac{2}{3} \pi r^{3}$
B
$\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$
C
$4 \pi r^{2}$
D
$2 \pi r^{2}$

Solution

(A) sphere has a volume of $V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$.
Since a hemisphere is exactly half of a sphere,its volume is half of the volume of the sphere.
Therefore,the volume of a hemisphere $= \frac{1}{2} \times (\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}) = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^{3}$.

Solution

(B) $1-$ rupee coin is cylindrical in shape.
The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula $V = \pi r^{2} h$,where $r$ is the radius of the base and $h$ is the thickness (height) of the coin.
Therefore,the volume of a $1-$ rupee coin is $V = \pi r^{2} h$.

Total surface area of a cone exceeds its curved surface area by $\ldots \ldots \ldots . . .$
A
$2 \pi r$
B
$\pi r^{2}$
C
$2 \pi r^{2}$
D
$\pi r l$

Solution

(B) The Total Surface Area $(TSA)$ of a cone is given by the formula: $TSA = \pi r(r + l) = \pi r^2 + \pi rl$.
The Curved Surface Area $(CSA)$ of a cone is given by the formula: $CSA = \pi rl$.
To find how much the $TSA$ exceeds the $CSA$,we subtract the $CSA$ from the $TSA$:
Difference $= TSA - CSA$
Difference $= (\pi r^2 + \pi rl) - (\pi rl)$
Difference $= \pi r^2 + \pi rl - \pi rl$
Difference $= \pi r^2$.
Thus,the total surface area of a cone exceeds its curved surface area by $\pi r^2$.

C
$\frac{1}{3} \pi h[r_{1} + r_{2} + r_{1}r_{2}]$
D
$\pi h[r_{1} + r_{2} + r_{1}r_{2}]$

Solution

(B) frustum of a cone is formed when a cone is cut by a plane parallel to its base.
Let $h$ be the height of the frustum,and $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ be the radii of the two circular bases.
The formula for the volume $V$ of a frustum of a cone is given by:
$V = \frac{1}{3} \pi h(r_{1}^{2} + r_{2}^{2} + r_{1}r_{2})$
Therefore,option $B$ is the correct formula.

Solution

(A) frustum of a cone is formed when a cone is cut by a plane parallel to its base.
Let $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ be the radii of the two circular ends of the frustum,and $l$ be the slant height of the frustum.
The formula for the Curved Surface Area $(CSA)$ of a frustum of a cone is derived from the difference between the lateral surface area of the original cone and the smaller cone removed from the top.
The formula is given by: $CSA = \pi l(r_{1} + r_{2})$.

C
$\pi l(r_{1}+r_{2})+\pi r_{1}+\pi r_{2}$
D
$\pi(r_{1}+r_{2})+r_{1}^{2}+r_{2}^{2}$

Solution

(A) The total surface area $(TSA)$ of a frustum of a cone consists of the lateral surface area plus the areas of the two circular bases.
$1$. The lateral surface area of a frustum is given by $\pi l(r_{1} + r_{2})$,where $l$ is the slant height and $r_{1}, r_{2}$ are the radii of the two circular bases.
$2$. The area of the top circular base is $\pi r_{1}^{2}$.
$3$. The area of the bottom circular base is $\pi r_{2}^{2}$.
$4$. Therefore,the total surface area $(TSA)$ is the sum of these three parts: $TSA = \pi l(r_{1} + r_{2}) + \pi r_{1}^{2} + \pi r_{2}^{2}$.

The $TSA$ (Total Surface Area) of a $5$-rupee coin is given by the formula $\ldots \ldots \ldots . .$
A
$A = 2 \pi r h$
B
$A = 2 \pi r(r + h)$
C
$A = 2 \pi(r + h)$
D
$A = 2 \pi h(r + h)$

Solution

(B) $5$-rupee coin is shaped like a thin cylinder.
The total surface area $(TSA)$ of a cylinder with radius $r$ and height $h$ is the sum of its curved surface area and the areas of its two circular bases.
$TSA = \text{Curved Surface Area} + 2 \times \text{Area of circular base}$
$TSA = 2 \pi r h + 2 \pi r^2$
By taking $2 \pi r$ as a common factor,we get:
$TSA = 2 \pi r(r + h)$
Therefore,the correct formula is $A = 2 \pi r(r + h)$.

$1 \text{ litre} = \dots \text{ cm}^3$
A
$10$
B
$100$
C
$1000$
D
$10000$

Solution

(C) We know that $1 \text{ litre}$ is defined as the volume of a cube with side length $10 \text{ cm}$.
Since the volume of a cube is given by $(\text{side})^3$,we have:
$1 \text{ litre} = (10 \text{ cm})^3 = 10 \times 10 \times 10 \text{ cm}^3 = 1000 \text{ cm}^3$.
Therefore,$1 \text{ litre} = 1000 \text{ cm}^3$.

$1 \, m^3 = \dots \text{liters}$
A
$10$
B
$100$
C
$1000$
D
$10000$

Solution

(C) We know that $1 \, m = 100 \, cm$.
Therefore,$1 \, m^3 = (100 \, cm) \times (100 \, cm) \times (100 \, cm) = 1,000,000 \, cm^3$.
We also know that $1 \, \text{liter} = 1000 \, cm^3$.
To convert $cm^3$ to liters,we divide by $1000$.
Thus,$1,000,000 \, cm^3 / 1000 = 1000 \, \text{liters}$.
So,$1 \, m^3 = 1000 \, \text{liters}$.

Solution

(C) We know that $1 \ m^{3} = 1000 \ \text{litres}$.
Also,$1 \ \text{kilolitre} = 1000 \ \text{litres}$.
Therefore,$1 \ m^{3} = 1 \ \text{kilolitre}$.
