The dimensions of a cuboidal box are in the ratio $6: 4: 3$. The difference between the cost of covering it with white paper at the rate of $₹ 2.00$ per $m^2$ and with coloured paper at the rate of $₹ 2.50$ per $m^2$ is $₹ 1350$. Find the dimensions of the box.

Solution

(N/A) Let the dimensions of the cuboidal box be $6x$,$4x$,and $3x$ meters.
The total surface area of the cuboid is $SA = 2(lb + bh + lh) = 2((6x)(4x) + (4x)(3x) + (6x)(3x)) = 2(24x^2 + 12x^2 + 18x^2) = 2(54x^2) = 108x^2 \, m^2$.
The cost of covering with white paper at $₹ 2.00/m^2$ is $2 \times 108x^2 = 216x^2$.
The cost of covering with coloured paper at $₹ 2.50/m^2$ is $2.50 \times 108x^2 = 270x^2$.
The difference in cost is $270x^2 - 216x^2 = 54x^2$.
Given that the difference is $₹ 1350$,we have $54x^2 = 1350$.
$x^2 = 1350 / 54 = 25$.
$x = 5$.
Thus,the dimensions are $6(5) = 30 \, m$,$4(5) = 20 \, m$,and $3(5) = 15 \, m$.

Given: $TSA = 748\, cm^2$ and $r = 7\, cm$.
Using $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$:
$748 = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times (7 + h)$
$748 = 44 \times (7 + h)$
Divide both sides by $44$:
$7 + h = \frac{748}{44}$
$7 + h = 17$
$h = 17 - 7$
$h = 10\, cm$.

The radii of two cylinders are in the ratio $3: 7$ and their heights are in the ratio $28: 15$. Calculate the ratio of their curved surface areas.
A
$9: 2$
B
$4: 3$
C
$4: 5$
D
$7: 5$

Solution

(C) Let the radii of the two cylinders be $r_1$ and $r_2$,and their heights be $h_1$ and $h_2$.
Given that $r_1 : r_2 = 3 : 7$ and $h_1 : h_2 = 28 : 15$.
The curved surface area $(CSA)$ of a cylinder is given by the formula $CSA = 2pi rh$.
Therefore,the ratio of their curved surface areas is:
$\frac{CSA_1}{CSA_2} = \frac{2pi r_1 h_1}{2pi r_2 h_2} = \frac{r_1}{r_2} \times \frac{h_1}{h_2}$
Substituting the given ratios:
$\frac{CSA_1}{CSA_2} = \frac{3}{7} \times \frac{28}{15}$
$\frac{CSA_1}{CSA_2} = \frac{3}{15} \times \frac{28}{7} = \frac{1}{5} \times 4 = \frac{4}{5}$
Thus,the ratio of their curved surface areas is $4 : 5$.

The ratio of the curved surface area and the total surface area of a cylinder is $2: 5$. Find the ratio of the radius and height of the cylinder.
A
$3: 8$
B
$5: 2$
C
$3: 4$
D
$3: 2$

Solution

(D) Let the radius of the cylinder be $r$ and the height be $h$.
The curved surface area $(CSA)$ of a cylinder is $2\pi rh$.
The total surface area $(TSA)$ of a cylinder is $2\pi rh + 2\pi r^2 = 2\pi r(h + r)$.
Given the ratio $CSA : TSA = 2 : 5$,we have:
$\frac{2\pi rh}{2\pi r(h + r)} = \frac{2}{5}$
$\frac{h}{h + r} = \frac{2}{5}$
Cross-multiplying gives $5h = 2(h + r)$.
$5h = 2h + 2r$
$3h = 2r$
Therefore,the ratio of the radius to the height is $\frac{r}{h} = \frac{3}{2}$,which is $3: 2$.

Solution

(N/A) Given: Slant height $(l) = 25 \,cm$,Curved Surface Area $(CSA) = 550 \,cm^{2}$.
$1$. Finding the radius $(r)$:
$CSA = \pi r l$
$550 = \frac{22}{7} \times r \times 25$
$r = \frac{550 \times 7}{22 \times 25} = 7 \,cm$.
$2$. Finding the height $(h)$:
Using the relation $l^{2} = h^{2} + r^{2}$:
$25^{2} = h^{2} + 7^{2}$
$625 = h^{2} + 49$
$h^{2} = 625 - 49 = 576$
$h = \sqrt{576} = 24 \,cm$.
$3$. Finding the total surface area $(TSA)$:
$TSA = \pi r(l + r)$
$TSA = \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times (25 + 7)$
$TSA = 22 \times 32 = 704 \,cm^{2}$.

$A$ conical tent with radius $7\, m$ and slant height $12\, m$ is to be made. How many metres of $2\, m$ wide tarpaulin will be required? If the price of tarpaulin is ₹ $48$ per meter,find the cost of the tarpaulin.

Solution

(A) For a given cone:
Radius $(r) = 7\, m$ and slant height $(l) = 12\, m$.
Area of tarpaulin used in the tent = Curved surface area of the cone.
Curved surface area $= \pi r l = \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 12 = 264\, m^2$.
Since the area of the tarpaulin is $l \times b$,where $b = 2\, m$:
$264 = l \times 2 \implies l = \frac{264}{2} = 132\, m$.
Thus,$132\, m$ of tarpaulin is required.
Cost of $1\, m$ tarpaulin = ₹ $48$.
Total cost = $132 \times 48 = ₹ 6336$.

Solution

(N/A) Given: Radius $(r) = 3.5 \, cm$,Height $(h) = 12 \, cm$.
First,find the slant height $(l)$ using the formula $l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}$.
$l = \sqrt{(3.5)^2 + (12)^2} = \sqrt{12.25 + 144} = \sqrt{156.25} = 12.5 \, cm$.
Curved Surface Area $(CSA) = \pi rl = \frac{22}{7} \times 3.5 \times 12.5 = 22 \times 0.5 \times 12.5 = 137.5 \, cm^2$.
Total Surface Area $(TSA) = \pi r(r + l) = \frac{22}{7} \times 3.5 \times (3.5 + 12.5) = 22 \times 0.5 \times 16 = 11 \times 16 = 176 \, cm^2$.

Solution

(N/A) $1$. When revolved about $AB$: The height $h = AB = 28 \, cm$ and the radius $r = BC = 21 \, cm$. The slant height $l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2} = \sqrt{21^2 + 28^2} = \sqrt{441 + 784} = \sqrt{1225} = 35 \, cm$. The curved surface area $CSA = \pi r l = \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times 35 = 22 \times 3 \times 35 = 2310 \, cm^2$.
$2$. When revolved about $BC$: The height $h = BC = 21 \, cm$ and the radius $r = AB = 28 \, cm$. The slant height $l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2} = \sqrt{28^2 + 21^2} = 35 \, cm$. The curved surface area $CSA = \pi r l = \frac{22}{7} \times 28 \times 35 = 22 \times 4 \times 35 = 3080 \, cm^2$.

A
$₹ 95700$
B
$₹ 143550$
C
$₹ 9570$
D
$₹ 14355$

Solution

(B) Given: Diameter of the cone $d = 42 \, m$,so radius $r = 21 \, m$. Height $h = 20 \, m$.
First,calculate the slant height $l$ of the cone using the formula $l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}$.

The radius and slant height of a cone are in the ratio of $2:7$. If its curved surface area is $704 \, cm^2$,find its radius $(r)$,slant height $(l)$,and height $(h)$.

Solution

(N/A) Let the radius $r = 2x$ and the slant height $l = 7x$.
The curved surface area of a cone is given by $CSA = \pi rl$.
Given $CSA = 704 \, cm^2$ and taking $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$:
$704 = \frac{22}{7} \times (2x) \times (7x)$
$704 = 22 \times 2 \times x^2$
$704 = 44x^2$
$x^2 = \frac{704}{44} = 16$
$x = 4$.
Thus,radius $r = 2 \times 4 = 8 \, cm$ and slant height $l = 7 \times 4 = 28 \, cm$.
The height $h$ is given by $h = \sqrt{l^2 - r^2} = \sqrt{28^2 - 8^2} = \sqrt{(28-8)(28+8)} = \sqrt{20 \times 36} = \sqrt{720} = 12\sqrt{5} \, cm$.

The radius of a cone is $10\, cm$ and the total surface area of a cone is $880\, cm^2$. Find the slant height in $cm$. (Use $\pi = 22/7$)
A
$17$
B
$18$
C
$18.5$
D
$17.5$

Solution

(B) The total surface area of a cone is given by the formula: $TSA = \pi r(r + l)$,where $r$ is the radius and $l$ is the slant height.
Given: $r = 10\, cm$,$TSA = 880\, cm^2$,and $\pi = 22/7$.
Substituting the values into the formula:
$880 = (22/7) \times 10 \times (10 + l)$
$880 \times 7 = 220 \times (10 + l)$
$6160 = 220 \times (10 + l)$
$10 + l = 6160 / 220$
$10 + l = 28$
$l = 28 - 10$
$l = 18\, cm$.
Thus,the slant height of the cone is $18\, cm$.

If the total surface area of a cone is $3696 \, cm^{2}$ and the curved surface area of a cone is $2310 \, cm^{2}$,find the ratio of the radius to the slant height.
A
$2:4$
B
$3:7$
C
$3:5$
D
$4:5$

Solution

(C) The total surface area $(TSA)$ of a cone is given by the formula: $TSA = \pi r(r + l) = \pi rl + \pi r^{2}$.
Given,$TSA = 3696 \, cm^{2}$ and the curved surface area $(CSA)$ is $\pi rl = 2310 \, cm^{2}$.
Substituting the value of $CSA$ into the $TSA$ formula:
$3696 = 2310 + \pi r^{2}$.
$\pi r^{2} = 3696 - 2310 = 1386$.
Using $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$,we get $\frac{22}{7} r^{2} = 1386$.
$r^{2} = \frac{1386 \times 7}{22} = 63 \times 7 = 441$.
$r = \sqrt{441} = 21 \, cm$.
Now,use the $CSA$ formula to find the slant height $(l)$:
$2310 = \pi rl = \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times l$.
$2310 = 22 \times 3 \times l = 66l$.
$l = \frac{2310}{66} = 35 \, cm$.
The ratio of the radius $(r)$ to the slant height $(l)$ is $r:l = 21:35$.
Dividing both by $7$,we get $3:5$.

Curved surface area of a hemisphere $= 2 \pi r^2$.
$= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{2} \times \frac{7}{2} \, cm^2 = 77 \, cm^2$.
Total surface area of a hemisphere $= 3 \pi r^2$.

C
$22200$
D
$125000$

Solution

(B) Given,the radius of the sphere $(r) = 3.5\, cm = \frac{7}{2}\, cm$.
The surface area of a sphere is given by the formula $A = 4\pi r^{2}$.
Substituting the values:
$A = 4 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \left(\frac{7}{2}\right)^{2}$
$A = 4 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{49}{4} = 22 \times 7 = 154\, cm^{2}$.
The cost of plating gold is ₹ $150$ per $cm^{2}$.
Total cost = $\text{Surface area} \times \text{Rate}$
Total cost = $154 \times 150 = 23,100$.
Therefore,the cost of plating gold on its surface is ₹ $23,100$.

B
$4:1$
C
$3:1$
D
$5:3$

Solution

(C) Let the radius of the sphere be $r_1$ and the radius of the hemisphere be $r_2$.
Given that the ratio of their radii is $r_1 : r_2 = 3 : 2$,so $\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \frac{3}{2}$.
The surface area of a sphere is $4 \pi r_1^2$.
The total surface area of a hemisphere is $3 \pi r_2^2$.
Now,the ratio of the surface area of the sphere to the total surface area of the hemisphere is:
$\frac{4 \pi r_1^2}{3 \pi r_2^2} = \frac{4}{3} \times \left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^2$
$= \frac{4}{3} \times \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2$
$= \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{9}{4}$
$= \frac{3}{1}$
Therefore,the required ratio is $3:1$.

The radius of a sphere is decreased by $20 \% .$ By what per cent does its curved surface area decrease (in $\%$)?
A
$26$
B
$16$
C
$36$
D
$24$

Solution

(C) Let the initial radius of the sphere be $r_1 = r$.
The initial surface area is $A_1 = 4 \pi r^2$.
The radius is decreased by $20 \%$,so the new radius $r_2 = r - 0.20r = 0.8r$.
The new surface area is $A_2 = 4 \pi (0.8r)^2 = 4 \pi (0.64r^2) = 0.64(4 \pi r^2) = 0.64 A_1$.
The decrease in surface area is $A_1 - A_2 = A_1 - 0.64 A_1 = 0.36 A_1$.
The percentage decrease is $\frac{0.36 A_1}{A_1} \times 100 \% = 36 \%$.
