A hollow sphere of internal and external diameters 4 cm and 8 cm respectively is melted into a cone of base diameter 8 cm. Calculate the height of the cone. |
|
Answer» Given, internal radius of hollow sphere, r = (\(\frac{4}2\)) = 2 cm External radius = \(\frac{8}2\) = 4 cm Volume of hollow sphere = \(\frac{4}{3}π(R^3 - r^3)\) = \(\frac{4}{3}π(4^3 - 2^3)\) --------(i) Given, diameter of the cone = 8 cm ∴ Radius of the cone = 4 cm Let height of the cone be h Volume of the cone = \(\frac{1}{3}πr^2h{}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}π4^2h{}\)--------(ii) Since hollow sphere is melted into a cone so their volumes are equal, \(\frac{4}{3}\) π × (43 – 23) = \(\frac{1}{3}\) π × 42 × h 4 x (64 – 8) = 16 x h 4 x 56 = 16 x h h = \(\frac{4 \times 56}{16}\) ∴ h = 14 cm Let the height of the cone be h cm. |

Let * be a binary operation defined on Q. Find which of the following binary operations are associative(i) a * b = a – b for a, b ∈ Q.(ii) a * b = ab/4 for a, b ∈ Q.(iii) a * b = a – b + ab for a, b ∈ Q.(iv) a * b = ab2 for a, b ∈ Q. |
|
Answer» (i) * is not associative for if we take a = 1, b = 2 and c = 3, then (a * b) * c = (1 * 2) * 3 = (1 – 2) * 3 = – 1 – 3 = – 4 and a * (b * c) = 1 * (2 * 3) = 1 * (2 – 3) = 1 – ( – 1) = 2. Thus (a * b) * c ≠ a * (b * c) and hence * is not associative. (ii) * is associative since Q is associative with respect to multiplication. (iii) * is not associative for if we take a = 2, b = 3 and c = 4, then (a * b) * c = (2 * 3) * 4 = (2 – 3 + 6) * 4 = 5 * 4 = 5 – 4 + 20 = 21, and a * (b * c) = 2 * (3 * 4) = 2 * (3 – 4 + 12) = 2 * 11 = 2 – 11 + 22 = 13 Thus (a * b) * c ≠ a * (b * c) and hence * is not associative. (iv) * is not associative for if we take a = 1, b = 2 and c = 3, then (a * b) * c = (1 * 2) * 3 = 4 * 3 = 4 × 9 = 36 and a * (b * c) = 1 * (2 * 3) = 1 * 18 = 1 × 182 = 324. Thus (a * b) * c ≠ a * (b * c) and hence * is not associative. |

By what number should 3\(\frac{1}{16}\) be multiplied to get 9\(\frac{3}{16}\) ? |
|
Answer» Given fraction = 3\(\frac{1}{16}\) = \(\frac{49}{16}\) Product = 9\(\frac{3 }{16}\) = \(\frac{147}{16}\) Fraction × fraction to be multiplied = \(\frac{49}{16}\) \(\frac{49}{16}\) × other number = \(\frac{147}{16}\) other number = \(\frac{147}{16}\) ÷ \(\frac{49}{16}\) = \(\frac{147}{16}\) × \(\frac{16}{49}\) Other number = 3 ∴ Number to be multiplied = 3. |

Find the number of sides of a regular polygon, if each of its interior angles is 3πc/4 |
|
Answer» Each interior angle of a regular polygon = \(\frac {3\pi}{4}\)= (\(\frac{3\pi}{4}\)x\(=\frac{180}{\pi}\))°= 135° Interior angle + Exterior angle = 180° ∴ Exterior angle = 180° – 135° = 45° Let the number of sides of the regular polygon be n. But in a regular polygon, exterior angle = 360∘/no. of sides ∴ 45∘= 360∘/n ∴ n = 360∘/45∘=8 ∴ Number of sides of a regular polygon = 8. |
