MediumMCQ
Mary wants to decorate her Christmas tree. She wants to place the tree on a wooden box covered with coloured paper with a picture of Santa Claus on it (see figure). She must know the exact quantity of paper to buy for this purpose. If the box has length,breadth,and height as $80 \, cm$,$40 \, cm$,and $20 \, cm$ respectively,how many square sheets of paper of side $40 \, cm$ would she require?

Solution

(A) Since Mary wants to paste the paper on the outer surface of the box,the quantity of paper required is equal to the total surface area of the box,which is in the shape of a cuboid.
The dimensions of the box are: Length $(l)$ = $80 \, cm$,Breadth $(b)$ = $40 \, cm$,Height $(h)$ = $20 \, cm$.
The total surface area of the cuboid = $2(lb + bh + hl)$.
Surface area = $2[(80 \times 40) + (40 \times 20) + (20 \times 80)] \, cm^2$.
Surface area = $2[3200 + 800 + 1600] \, cm^2$.
Surface area = $2 \times 5600 \, cm^2 = 11200 \, cm^2$.
The area of each square sheet of paper = side $\times$ side = $40 \, cm \times 40 \, cm = 1600 \, cm^2$.
The number of sheets required = (Total surface area of the box) / (Area of one sheet of paper).
Number of sheets = $11200 / 1600 = 7$.
Therefore,she would require $7$ sheets.

Hameed has built a cubical water tank with a lid for his house,with each outer edge $1.5\, m$ long. He gets the outer surface of the tank,excluding the base,covered with square tiles of side $25\, cm$ (see figure). Find how much he would spend on the tiles,if the cost of the tiles is $Rs. 360$ per dozen.
Question diagram
A
$Rs. 5500$
B
$Rs. 5400$
C
$Rs. 4500$
D
$Rs. 4600$

Solution

(B) Since Hameed is getting the five outer faces of the tank covered with tiles,he needs to calculate the surface area of these five faces to determine the number of tiles required.
Edge of the cubical tank $(a)$ $= 1.5\, m = 150\, cm$.
Surface area of the five faces $= 5 \times a^2 = 5 \times 150 \times 150\, cm^2 = 112500\, cm^2$.
Area of each square tile $= 25\, cm \times 25\, cm = 625\, cm^2$.
Number of tiles required $= \frac{\text{Total surface area}}{\text{Area of one tile}} = \frac{112500}{625} = 180$.
Cost of $1$ dozen $(12)$ tiles $= Rs. 360$.
Cost of $1$ tile $= \frac{360}{12} = Rs. 30$.
Total cost for $180$ tiles $= 180 \times 30 = Rs. 5400$.

$A$ plastic box $1.5\, m$ long,$1.25\, m$ wide,and $65\, cm$ deep is to be made. It is opened at the top. Ignoring the thickness of the plastic sheet,determine:
$(i)$ The area of the sheet required for making the box.
$(ii)$ The cost of the sheet for it,if a sheet measuring $1\, m^2$ costs $Rs. 20$.

Solution

(109) Given:
Length $(l) = 1.5\, m$
Breadth $(b) = 1.25\, m$
Depth $(h) = 65\, cm = 0.65\, m$
$(i)$ Since the box is open at the top,the area of the sheet required is the sum of the area of the four walls and the base:
Area $= 2lh + 2bh + lb$
$= [2 \times 1.5 \times 0.65 + 2 \times 1.25 \times 0.65 + 1.5 \times 1.25]\, m^2$
$= (1.95 + 1.625 + 1.875)\, m^2 = 5.45\, m^2$
$(ii)$ Cost of sheet per $m^2 = Rs. 20$
Total cost for $5.45\, m^2 = 5.45 \times 20 = Rs. 109$

The length,breadth,and height of a room are $5\, m$,$4\, m$,and $3\, m$ respectively. Find the cost of whitewashing the walls of the room and the ceiling at the rate of $Rs. 7.50$ per $m^2$.
A
$222$
B
$333$
C
$444$
D
$555$

Solution

(D) Given: Length $(l) = 5\, m$,Breadth $(b) = 4\, m$,Height $(h) = 3\, m$.
We need to whitewash the four walls and the ceiling.
Area to be whitewashed = Area of four walls + Area of ceiling
$= 2(l + b)h + (l \times b)$
$= 2(5 + 4) \times 3 + (5 \times 4)$
$= 2(9) \times 3 + 20$
$= 54 + 20 = 74\, m^2$.
Cost of whitewashing per $m^2 = Rs. 7.50$.
Total cost = $74 \times 7.50 = Rs. 555$.

MediumMCQ
The floor of a rectangular hall has a perimeter of $250\, m$. If the cost of painting the four walls at the rate of $10$ per $m^2$ is $Rs. 15000$,find the height of the hall. (in $, m$)
A
$6$
B
$5$
C
$4$
D
$3$

Solution

(A) Let the length,breadth,and height of the rectangular hall be $l\, m, b\, m,$ and $h\, m$ respectively.
The area of the four walls is given by the formula: $\text{Area} = 2lh + 2bh = 2(l + b)h$.
The perimeter of the floor of the hall is $2(l + b) = 250\, m$.
Substituting the perimeter into the area formula,we get: $\text{Area of four walls} = 250 \times h = 250h\, m^2$.
The cost of painting is given as $Rs. 10$ per $m^2$.
Total cost of painting = $\text{Area} \times \text{Rate} = 250h \times 10 = 2500h$.
Given that the total cost is $Rs. 15000$,we set up the equation: $2500h = 15000$.
Solving for $h$: $h = \frac{15000}{2500} = 6\, m$.
Therefore,the height of the hall is $6\, m$.

MediumMCQ
The paint in a certain container is sufficient to paint an area equal to $9.375 \,m^2$. How many bricks of dimensions $22.5 \,cm \times 10 \,cm \times 7.5 \,cm$ can be painted out of this container?
A
$200$
B
$100$
C
$300$
D
$400$

Solution

(B) The total surface area of one brick is given by the formula $2(lb + bh + lh)$.
Substituting the given dimensions: $l = 22.5 \,cm$,$b = 10 \,cm$,$h = 7.5 \,cm$.
Surface area of one brick $= 2(22.5 \times 10 + 10 \times 7.5 + 22.5 \times 7.5) \,cm^2$.
$= 2(225 + 75 + 168.75) \,cm^2 = 2(468.75) \,cm^2 = 937.5 \,cm^2$.
Convert the total paintable area from $m^2$ to $cm^2$: $9.375 \,m^2 = 9.375 \times 10000 \,cm^2 = 93750 \,cm^2$.
Let $n$ be the number of bricks that can be painted.
$n \times 937.5 = 93750$.
$n = \frac{93750}{937.5} = 100$.
Thus,$100$ bricks can be painted.

DifficultMCQ
$A$ cubical box has each edge $10\, cm$ and another cuboidal box is $12.5\, cm$ long,$10\, cm$ wide and $8\, cm$ high. Which box has the greater lateral surface area and by how much (in $, cm^2$)?
A
$30$
B
$50$
C
$40$
D
$90$

Solution

(C) Lateral surface area of a cube $= 4 \times (\text{edge})^2$.
Given edge of the cube $= 10\, cm$.
Lateral surface area of the cubical box $= 4 \times (10\, cm)^2 = 4 \times 100\, cm^2 = 400\, cm^2$.
Lateral surface area of a cuboid $= 2 \times h \times (l + b)$.
Given length $(l) = 12.5\, cm$,breadth $(b) = 10\, cm$,and height $(h) = 8\, cm$.
Lateral surface area of the cuboidal box $= 2 \times 8\, cm \times (12.5\, cm + 10\, cm) = 16\, cm \times 22.5\, cm = 360\, cm^2$.
Comparing the two areas,$400\, cm^2 > 360\, cm^2$.
The cubical box has a greater lateral surface area.
The difference is $400\, cm^2 - 360\, cm^2 = 40\, cm^2$.

DifficultMCQ
$A$ cubical box has each edge $10\, cm$ and another cuboidal box is $12.5\, cm$ long, $10\, cm$ wide and $8\, cm$ high. Which box has the smaller total surface area and by how much (in $ cm^2$)?
A
$25$
B
$20$
C
$15$
D
$10$

Solution

(D) Total surface area of the cubical box $= 6 \times (\text{edge})^2 = 6 \times (10\, cm)^2 = 600\, cm^2$.
Total surface area of the cuboidal box $= 2(lh + bh + lb) = 2(12.5 \times 8 + 10 \times 8 + 12.5 \times 10) = 2(100 + 80 + 125) = 2(305) = 610\, cm^2$.
Comparing the two, the total surface area of the cubical box $(600\, cm^2)$ is smaller than that of the cuboidal box $(610\, cm^2)$.
The difference in surface area $= 610\, cm^2 - 600\, cm^2 = 10\, cm^2$.
Thus, the cubical box has a smaller total surface area by $10\, cm^2$.

A
$4250$
B
$5050$
C
$4800$
D
$4340$

Solution

(A) The greenhouse is in the shape of a cuboid.
Length $(l) = 30 \, cm$
Breadth $(b) = 25 \, cm$
Height $(h) = 25 \, cm$
The total surface area of the glass is equal to the total surface area of the cuboid.
Total Surface Area $= 2(lb + lh + bh)$
$= 2(30 \times 25 + 30 \times 25 + 25 \times 25) \, cm^2$
$= 2(750 + 750 + 625) \, cm^2$
$= 2(2125) \, cm^2$
$= 4250 \, cm^2$
Thus,the total area of the glass is $4250 \, cm^2$.

$A$ small indoor greenhouse (herbarium) is made entirely of glass panes (including base) held together with tape. It is $30 \, cm$ long,$25 \, cm$ wide,and $25 \, cm$ high. How much tape is needed for all the $12$ edges (in $, cm$)?
A
$220$
B
$320$
C
$420$
D
$520$

Solution

(B) cuboid has $12$ edges,consisting of $4$ lengths $(l)$,$4$ widths $(b)$,and $4$ heights $(h)$.
Given dimensions are length $(l)$ = $30 \, cm$,width $(b)$ = $25 \, cm$,and height $(h)$ = $25 \, cm$.
The total length of tape required for all $12$ edges is given by the formula:
Total length $= 4(l + b + h)$
$= 4(30 + 25 + 25) \, cm$
$= 4(80) \, cm$
$= 320 \, cm$
Therefore,$320 \, cm$ of tape is required.

A
$Rs. 2252$
B
$Rs. 2196$
C
$Rs. 2184$
D
$Rs. 2122$

Solution

(C) Length $(l_1)$ of bigger box $= 25 \,cm$,Breadth $(b_1) = 20 \,cm$,Height $(h_1) = 5 \,cm$.
Total surface area of bigger box $= 2(l_1b_1 + l_1h_1 + b_1h_1) = 2(25 \times 20 + 25 \times 5 + 20 \times 5) \,cm^2 = 2(500 + 125 + 100) \,cm^2 = 1450 \,cm^2$.
Extra area for overlaps $= 5\% \text{ of } 1450 \,cm^2 = (1450 \times 0.05) \,cm^2 = 72.5 \,cm^2$.
Total area for $1$ bigger box $= 1450 + 72.5 = 1522.5 \,cm^2$.
Area for $250$ bigger boxes $= 250 \times 1522.5 = 380625 \,cm^2$.
Length $(l_2) = 15 \,cm$,Breadth $(b_2) = 12 \,cm$,Height $(h_2) = 5 \,cm$.
Total surface area of smaller box $= 2(15 \times 12 + 15 \times 5 + 12 \times 5) \,cm^2 = 2(180 + 75 + 60) \,cm^2 = 630 \,cm^2$.
Extra area for overlaps $= 5\% \text{ of } 630 \,cm^2 = (630 \times 0.05) \,cm^2 = 31.5 \,cm^2$.
Total area for $1$ smaller box $= 630 + 31.5 = 661.5 \,cm^2$.
Area for $250$ smaller boxes $= 250 \times 661.5 = 165375 \,cm^2$.
Total cardboard area $= 380625 + 165375 = 546000 \,cm^2$.
Cost $= (546000 / 1000) \times 4 = 546 \times 4 = Rs. 2184$.

Parveen wanted to make a temporary shelter for her car by making a box-like structure with tarpaulin that covers all the four sides and the top of the car (with the front face as a flap which can be rolled up). Assuming that the stitching margins are very small,and therefore negligible,how much tarpaulin would be required to make the shelter of height $2.5 \, m$,with base dimensions $4 \, m \times 3 \, m$ (in $m^2$)?
A
$87$
B
$80$
C
$50$
D
$47$

Solution

(D) The shelter is a cuboidal structure without a base.
Length $(l) = 4 \, m$,Breadth $(b) = 3 \, m$,and Height $(h) = 2.5 \, m$.
The tarpaulin is required for the four walls and the top.
Area of tarpaulin required $= \text{Lateral Surface Area} + \text{Area of the top}$
$= 2(lh + bh) + (l \times b)$
$= [2(4 \times 2.5 + 3 \times 2.5) + (4 \times 3)] \, m^2$
$= [2(10 + 7.5) + 12] \, m^2$
$= [2(17.5) + 12] \, m^2$
$= (35 + 12) \, m^2 = 47 \, m^2$.
Thus,$47 \, m^2$ of tarpaulin is required.

The curved surface area of a right circular cylinder of height $14\, cm$ is $88\, cm^2$. Find the diameter of the base of the cylinder.
Assume $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$ unless stated otherwise. (in $, cm$)
A
$1$
B
$2$
C
$3$
D
$5$

Solution

(B) Given:
Height $(h) = 14\, cm$
Curved surface area $(CSA) = 88\, cm^2$
Let the radius of the base be $r$ and the diameter be $d = 2r$.
The formula for the curved surface area of a cylinder is $CSA = 2\pi rh$.
Since $d = 2r$,we can write $CSA = \pi dh$.
Substituting the given values:
$88 = \frac{22}{7} \times d \times 14$
$88 = 22 \times d \times 2$
$88 = 44 \times d$
$d = \frac{88}{44} = 2\, cm$.
Thus,the diameter of the base of the cylinder is $2\, cm$.

It is required to make a closed cylindrical tank of height $1 \,m$ and base diameter $140 \,cm$ from a metal sheet. How many square metres of the sheet are required for the same (in $,m^2$)? Assume $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$.
A
$2.48$
B
$9.48$
C
$7.48$
D
$8.96$

Solution

(C) The height $(h)$ of the cylindrical tank is $1 \,m$.
The base diameter is $140 \,cm$,so the base radius $(r)$ is $\frac{140}{2} \,cm = 70 \,cm = 0.7 \,m$.
The area of the sheet required is equal to the total surface area of the closed cylindrical tank,which is given by the formula $2\pi r(r + h)$.
Substituting the values: $\text{Area} = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 0.7 \times (0.7 + 1) \,m^2$.
$\text{Area} = 2 \times 22 \times 0.1 \times 1.7 \,m^2$.
$\text{Area} = 4.4 \times 1.7 \,m^2 = 7.48 \,m^2$.
Thus,$7.48 \,m^2$ of the metal sheet is required.

Inner diameter,$d_{1} = 4\, cm$.
Inner radius,$r_{1} = \frac{d_{1}}{2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2\, cm$.
The formula for the curved surface area $(CSA)$ of a cylinder is $2\pi rh$.
Inner curved surface area $= 2 \times \pi \times r_{1} \times h$
$= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 2 \times 77$
$= 2 \times 22 \times 2 \times 11$

Solution

(B) Given:
Length of the pipe $(h)$ = $77 \, cm$
Inner diameter $(d_1)$ = $4 \, cm$,so inner radius $(r_1)$ = $2 \, cm$
Outer diameter $(d_2)$ = $4.4 \, cm$,so outer radius $(r_2)$ = $2.2 \, cm$
Total surface area of the pipe = (Inner curved surface area) + (Outer curved surface area) + (Area of two circular rings at the ends)
Inner curved surface area = $2 \pi r_1 h = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 2 \times 77 = 2 \times 22 \times 2 \times 11 = 968 \, cm^2$
Outer curved surface area = $2 \pi r_2 h = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 2.2 \times 77 = 2 \times 22 \times 2.2 \times 11 = 1064.8 \, cm^2$
Area of two circular rings = $2 \times \pi (r_2^2 - r_1^2) = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times (2.2^2 - 2^2) = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times (4.84 - 4) = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 0.84 = 2 \times 22 \times 0.12 = 5.28 \, cm^2$
Total surface area = $968 + 1064.8 + 5.28 = 2038.08 \, cm^2$.

The diameter of a roller is $84\, cm$ and its length is $120\, cm$. It takes $500$ complete revolutions to move once over to level a playground. Find the area of the playground in $m^2$. $\left[\text{Assume } \pi = \frac{22}{7}\right]$ (in $, m^2$)
A
$1504$
B
$9684$
C
$1584$
D
$1824$

Solution

(C) The roller is cylindrical in shape.
Height $(h)$ of the cylindrical roller = Length of the roller = $120\, cm$.
Radius $(r)$ of the circular end of the roller = $\frac{84}{2}\, cm = 42\, cm$.
Curved Surface Area $(CSA)$ of the roller = $2\pi rh$.
$CSA = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 42 \times 120\, cm^2$.
$CSA = 2 \times 22 \times 6 \times 120\, cm^2 = 31680\, cm^2$.
The area of the playground is equal to the total area covered in $500$ revolutions.
Area of the playground = $500 \times CSA$ of the roller.
Area = $500 \times 31680\, cm^2 = 15840000\, cm^2$.
Since $1\, m^2 = 10000\, cm^2$,we convert the area to $m^2$:
Area = $\frac{15840000}{10000}\, m^2 = 1584\, m^2$.

A
$Rs. \, 40.78$
B
$Rs. \, 65.80$
C
$Rs. \, 70.75$
D
$Rs. \, 68.75$

Solution

(D) Given: Diameter of the cylindrical pillar $= 50 \, cm = 0.5 \, m$.
Radius $(r) = \frac{0.5}{2} = 0.25 \, m$.
Height $(h) = 3.5 \, m$.
Curved Surface Area $(CSA)$ of the cylinder $= 2 \pi rh$.
$CSA = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 0.25 \times 3.5 \, m^2$.
$CSA = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 0.25 \times \frac{35}{10} = 2 \times 22 \times 0.25 \times 0.5 = 5.5 \, m^2$.
Cost of painting per $m^2 = Rs. \, 12.50$.
Total cost of painting $= 5.5 \times 12.50 = Rs. \, 68.75$.

Simplify the expression:
$2 \times 22 \times 0.1 \times h = 4.4$
$4.4 \times h = 4.4$
Solving for $h$:
$h = \frac{4.4}{4.4} = 1 \, m$.
Therefore,the height of the cylinder is $1 \, m$.

A
$150$
B
$110$
C
$210$
D
$280$

Solution

(B) The inner diameter of the circular well is $d = 3.5 \, m$.
The inner radius $(r)$ is given by $r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{3.5}{2} \, m = 1.75 \, m$.
The depth $(h)$ of the circular well is $10 \, m$.
The inner curved surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula $2 \pi r h$.
Substituting the values,we get:
Inner curved surface area $= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 1.75 \times 10 \, m^2$.
$= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{175}{100} \times 10 \, m^2$.
$= 2 \times 22 \times \frac{1}{7} \times \frac{7}{4} \times 10 \, m^2$.
$= 44 \times 0.25 \times 10 \, m^2 = 110 \, m^2$.
Thus,the inner curved surface area of the circular well is $110 \, m^2$.

A
$Rs. 7700$
B
$Rs. 6600$
C
$Rs. 4400$
D
$Rs. 5500$

Solution

$(C)$ Given: Diameter of the well $(d)$ $= 3.5\, m$, Depth $(h)$ $= 10\, m$.
Radius $(r)$ $= d/2 = 3.5/2 = 1.75\, m$.
The curved surface area $(CSA)$ of the cylindrical well $= 2\pi rh$.
$CSA = 2 \times (22/7) \times 1.75 \times 10$.
$CSA = 2 \times (22/7) \times 17.5 = 44 \times 2.5 = 110\, m^2$.

In a hot water heating system,there is a cylindrical pipe of length $28 \, m$ and diameter $5 \, cm$. Find the total radiating surface in the system. $\left[ \text{Assume } \pi = \frac{22}{7} \right]$ (in $, m^2$)
A
$7.7$
B
$6.6$
C
$5.5$
D
$4.4$

Solution

(D) The height $(h)$ of the cylindrical pipe is equal to its length,so $h = 28 \, m$.
The radius $(r)$ of the circular end of the pipe is half of the diameter,so $r = \frac{5}{2} \, cm = 2.5 \, cm$.
To maintain consistent units,convert the radius into meters: $r = \frac{2.5}{100} \, m = 0.025 \, m$.
The total radiating surface of the pipe is its Curved Surface Area $(CSA)$,which is given by the formula $CSA = 2 \pi r h$.
Substituting the values: $CSA = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 0.025 \times 28$.
$CSA = 2 \times 22 \times 0.025 \times 4 = 44 \times 0.1 = 4.4 \, m^2$.
Thus,the total radiating surface in the system is $4.4 \, m^2$.

A
$59.4$
B
$60.4$
C
$57.3$
D
$45.4$

Solution

(A) Height $(h)$ of the cylindrical tank $= 4.5\, m$.
Radius $(r)$ of the circular end of the cylindrical tank $= \frac{4.2}{2}\, m = 2.1\, m$.
Lateral or curved surface area $(CSA)$ of the cylinder is given by the formula $2\pi rh$.
Substituting the values: $CSA = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 2.1 \times 4.5\, m^2$.
$CSA = 2 \times 22 \times 0.3 \times 4.5\, m^2$.
$CSA = 44 \times 1.35\, m^2$.
$CSA = 59.4\, m^2$.
Therefore,the lateral or curved surface area of the tank is $59.4\, m^2$.

Find how much steel was actually used to make a closed cylindrical tank (radius $2.1 \text{ m}$, height $4.5 \text{ m}$), if $1/12$ of the steel actually used was wasted in making the tank. [Assume $\pi = 22/7$] (in $\text{ m}^2$)
A
$55.04$
B
$95.04$
C
$55.41$
D
$96.36$

Solution

(B) First, calculate the Total Surface Area $(TSA)$ of the closed cylindrical tank:
$TSA = 2\pi r(r + h)$
Given $r = 2.1 \text{ m}$ and $h = 4.5 \text{ m}$,
$TSA = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 2.1 \times (2.1 + 4.5) = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 2.1 \times 6.6 = 87.12 \text{ m}^2$.
Let $A$ be the actual steel used. Since $1/12$ of the steel was wasted, the steel used for the tank is $A - \frac{1}{12}A = \frac{11}{12}A$.
Equating this to the surface area of the tank:
$\frac{11}{12}A = 87.12$
$A = \frac{87.12 \times 12}{11} = 7.92 \times 12 = 95.04 \text{ m}^2$.
Thus, the actual steel used is $95.04 \text{ m}^2$.

Question diagram
A
$8800$
B
$5500$
C
$2200$
D
$4400$

Solution

(C) The frame of the lampshade is cylindrical in shape.
Given:
Diameter of the base $= 20 \, cm$,so the radius $(r) = \frac{20}{2} = 10 \, cm$.
Height of the frame $= 30 \, cm$.
Margin for folding at the top and bottom $= 2.5 \, cm$ each.
Total height $(h)$ of the cloth required $= 30 \, cm + 2.5 \, cm + 2.5 \, cm = 35 \, cm$.
The cloth required to cover the lampshade is equal to the curved surface area of the cylinder.
Curved Surface Area $= 2 \pi rh$
$= 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 10 \times 35 \, cm^2$
$= 2 \times 22 \times 10 \times 5 \, cm^2$
$= 2200 \, cm^2$.
Thus,$2200 \, cm^2$ of cloth is required to cover the lampshade.

The students of a Vidyalaya were asked to participate in a competition for making and decorating penholders in the shape of a cylinder with a base,using cardboard. Each penholder was to be of radius $3 \,cm$ and height $10.5 \,cm$. The Vidyalaya was to supply the competitors with cardboard. If there were $35$ competitors,how much cardboard was required to be bought for the competition (in $,cm^2$)? $\left[\text{Assume } \pi = \frac{22}{7}\right]$
A
$1120$
B
$8560$
C
$9920$
D
$7920$

Solution

(D) The penholder is a cylinder with a base,so its surface area is the sum of the curved surface area and the area of the circular base.
Radius $(r) = 3 \,cm$
Height $(h) = 10.5 \,cm$
Surface area of $1$ penholder $= 2\pi rh + \pi r^2 = \pi r(2h + r)$
$= \frac{22}{7} \times 3 \times (2 \times 10.5 + 3) \,cm^2$
$= \frac{22}{7} \times 3 \times (21 + 3) \,cm^2$
$= \frac{22}{7} \times 3 \times 24 \,cm^2 = \frac{1584}{7} \,cm^2$
Total cardboard required for $35$ competitors $= 35 \times \left(\frac{1584}{7}\right) \,cm^2$
$= 5 \times 1584 \,cm^2 = 7920 \,cm^2$
Thus,$7920 \,cm^2$ of cardboard is required.

A
$1350.76$
B
$1205.76$
C
$1285.76$
D
$1247.76$

Solution

(B) Given: height $h = 16 \, cm$ and radius $r = 12 \, cm$.
First,calculate the slant height $l$ using the formula $l = \sqrt{h^2 + r^2}$.
$l = \sqrt{16^2 + 12^2} = \sqrt{256 + 144} = \sqrt{400} = 20 \, cm$.
Curved surface area of the cone $= \pi rl = 3.14 \times 12 \times 20 = 753.6 \, cm^2$.
Total surface area of the cone $= \pi rl + \pi r^2 = \pi r(l + r) = 3.14 \times 12 \times (20 + 12) = 3.14 \times 12 \times 32 = 1205.76 \, cm^2$.

$170$
B
$430$
C

Solution

(C) Since the grains of corn are found only on the curved surface of the corn cob,we need to calculate the curved surface area of the cone.
Given:
Radius $(r)$ = $2.1\, cm$
Height $(h)$ = $20\, cm$
First,we find the slant height $(l)$:
$l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2} = \sqrt{(2.1)^2 + (20)^2} = \sqrt{4.41 + 400} = \sqrt{404.41} \approx 20.11\, cm$
Curved Surface Area of the cone = $\pi rl$
$= \frac{22}{7} \times 2.1 \times 20.11 = 22 \times 0.3 \times 20.11 = 6.6 \times 20.11 = 132.726\, cm^2$
Given that there are $4$ grains per $1\, cm^2$:
Total number of grains = $132.726 \times 4 = 530.904$
Rounding to the nearest whole number,we get $531$ grains.

The formula for the curved surface area of a cone is $CSA = \pi rl$.
Substituting the values:
$CSA = \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{10.5}{2} \times 10\, cm^2$.
$CSA = \frac{22}{7} \times 5.25 \times 10\, cm^2$.
$CSA = \frac{22}{7} \times 52.5\, cm^2$.
$CSA = 22 \times 7.5\, cm^2 = 165\, cm^2$.
Therefore,the curved surface area of the cone is $165\, cm^2$.

Curved surface area of a cone is $308 \, cm^2$ and its slant height is $14 \, cm$. Find $(i)$ radius of the base and $(ii)$ total surface area of the cone.

Solution

(N/A) Given: Curved surface area $= 308 \, cm^2$,Slant height $(l) = 14 \, cm$.
$(i)$ Let the radius of the base be $r \, cm$.
We know that the curved surface area of a cone is given by $\pi r l$.
$\therefore \pi r l = 308$
$\Rightarrow \frac{22}{7} \times r \times 14 = 308$
$\Rightarrow 44 \times r = 308$
$\Rightarrow r = \frac{308}{44} = 7 \, cm$.
Thus,the radius of the base is $7 \, cm$.
$(ii)$ Total surface area of a cone $= \text{Curved surface area} + \text{Base area}$.
Base area $= \pi r^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 7^2 = 154 \, cm^2$.
Total surface area $= 308 \, cm^2 + 154 \, cm^2 = 462 \, cm^2$.

$l = \sqrt{100 + 576} \, m$
$l = \sqrt{676} \, m$
$l = 26 \, m$

Solution

(A) Given: Height of the cone $(h) = 10 \, m$,Radius of the base $(r) = 24 \, m$.
First,calculate the slant height $(l)$ of the cone using the formula $l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}$.
$l = \sqrt{24^2 + 10^2} = \sqrt{576 + 100} = \sqrt{676} = 26 \, m$.
The curved surface area of the cone is given by $\pi r l$.
Area of the canvas required $= \frac{22}{7} \times 24 \times 26 \, m^2 = \frac{13728}{7} \, m^2$.
The cost of $1 \, m^2$ canvas is $Rs. 70$.

B
$63.0$
C
$90.0$
D

Solution

(B) Given: Base radius $(r) = 6\, m$,Height $(h) = 8\, m$.
Slant height $(l) = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10\, m$.
Curved surface area of the tent $= \pi rl = 3.14 \times 6 \times 10 = 188.4\, m^2$.
Let the length of the tarpaulin be $L$. Since the width is $3\, m$,the area is $L \times 3 = 188.4\, m^2$.
$L = \frac{188.4}{3} = 62.8\, m$.
Extra length for margins and wastage $= 20\, cm = 0.2\, m$.

$r = \frac{17.6}{2 \times \pi} = \frac{17.6 \times 7}{2 \times 22} = 0.8 \times 3.5 = 2.8 \, m$.
Curved surface area of the hemisphere $= 2\pi r^2 = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 2.8 \times 2.8 = 49.28 \, m^2$.
Cost of painting $100 \, cm^2 = Rs. 5$.
Since $1 \, m^2 = 10000 \, cm^2$,the cost of painting $1 \, m^2 = \frac{5}{100} \times 10000 = Rs. 500$.
Total cost of painting $= 49.28 \times 500 = Rs. 24640$.
