Surface area of a cuboidal box is 48 cm2 and the sum of all edges is 48 cm. What is the length of the diagonal?1). √50 cm2). √12 cm3). √48 cm4). √90 cm

Answer»

Surface AREA of cuboid = 48 cm2

⇒ 2(lb + bh + hl) = 48 ----- (1)

⇒ Sum of 12 EDGES = 48

4(l + b+ h) = 48 cm

⇒ l + b + h = 12 cm ----- (2)

Diagonal of cuboid = $(\sqrt {{l^2} + {b^2} + {h^2}})$ ----- (3)

Squaring (2) :

(l + b + h)2 = 122

L2 + b2 + h2 + 2(lb + bh + hl) = 144

⇒ Substituting from (1) and (3)

Diagonal2 + 48 = 144

Diagonal2 = 144 – 48 = 96

∴ Diagonal = √96 cm

Answer»

SURFACE Area of TWO bases = 2πr2 

Curved Surface Area of CYLINDER = 2πrh 

According to the question,

⇒ 2πrh/2πr2 = 2/1

2R = h

Total surface area the cylinder

⇒ 23100 = 2πr × (r + h)

⇒ 23100 = 2 × (22/7) × r(r + 2r)

⇒ 3r2 = 23100 × 7/44 

⇒ r = 35

Volume of the right circular cylinder = πr2h

= (22/7) × 352 × 70 = 269500 cm3

Answer»

 Number of REVOLUTIONS MADE by one wheel = 1000

⇒ Distance covered = 120 km

⇒ Distance covered in one revolution = 120/1000 = 0.12 km

⇒ Distance covered in one revolution = 0.12 ? 1000 = 120 m

⇒ Thus, 2$(\pi )$R = 120 m

⇒ 2 $(\times \FRAC{{22}}{7})$(\times )$ r = 120

⇒ r = 19.09 m

∴ Radius of wheel of the cycle = 19.09 m

A large cube is formed from the material obtained by melting three smaller cubes of 3, 4 and 5 cms side. What is of the ratio the total surface areas of the smaller cubes and the large cube?1). 2 ∶ 12). 3 ∶ 23). 25 ∶ 184). 27 ∶ 20

Answer»

We know that, volume of a cube = a3

Volume of cubes of 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm sides = 33 + 43 + 53 cm3

= 27 + 64 + 125 = 216 cm3

Surface area of the smaller cubes = 6(9 + 16 + 25) = 6 × 50 = 300 cm2

Since the large cube is obtained by melting the three smaller cubes,

THUS, volume of larger cube = sum of VOLUMES of three smaller cubes = 216 cm3

Side of larger cube $(a)$ = ?216 cm = 6 cm

Surface area of larger cube = 6 × a2 cm2, where a = length of each side of a cube

= 6 × 62 = 216 cm2

$(\therefore \frac{{surface\;area\;of\;smaller\;cubes}}{{surface\;area\;of\;larger\;cube\;}}\; = \;\frac{{300}}{{216}} = \;\frac{{25}}{{18}})$

Answer»

⇒ Volume of LEAD = (4/3) π × 23

⇒ Volume of GOLD = Total volume – Volume of lead

⇒ (4/3) π × (2 + x)3 – (4/3) π × 23

According to question,

⇒ (4/3) π × 23 = (4/3) π × (2 + x)3 – (4/3) π × 23

⇒ (2 + x)3 = 2 × 23

⇒ 2 + x = 2 × 3√2

⇒ x = (2 × 3√2) – 2

⇒ 2(3√2 – 1)

⇒ 2(1.259 – 1)

⇒ 2 × 0.259 = 0.518 cm

Answer»

⇒ Outside VOLUME of the box = 42 x 30 x 20 cm3

⇒ Outside volume of the box = 25200 cm3

Since the thickness is 1 cm, the dimensions of inner CUBOID are 2 less than the dimensions of Outer cuboid

⇒ Inner volume of the box = 40 x 28 x 18 cm3

⇒ Inner volume of the box = 20160 cm3

⇒ Volume of wood = 25200 – 20160 cm3

∴ Volume of wood used is 5040 cm3

Answer»

LET the length and BREADTH of the rectangle are 3x and 7x RESPECTIVELY

Perimeter of the rectangle = 80

⇒ 2(l + B) = 80

⇒ 2(3x + 7x) = 80

⇒ 10x = 40

⇒ x = 4

∴ The area of the rectangle = lb = 7x × 3x = 21x2 = 21 × 16 = 336 m2

If the volume and curve surface area of the cylinder is 616 m3 and 352 m2 respectively, what is the total surface area of the cylinder (in m2)?1). 4292). 4193). 4354). 421

Answer»

Volume of cylinder = πr2h?

where, 

r = RADIUS of cylinder

h = height of cylinder

Curved Surface Area = 2πrh

Volume/Curved Surface Area = 616/352

⇒ (πr2h)/(2πrh) = 28/16 = 7/4

⇒ r/2 = 7/4

⇒ r = 7/2

Again,

Curved Surface Area = 352

⇒ 2 × 22/7 × 7/2 × h = 352

⇒ h = 16

Again

TOTAL Surface Area = 2πr(r + h)

⇒ 2 × 22/7 × (7/2)(7/2 + 16)

∴ Total Surface Area = 22 × 39/2 = 429 m2

Answer»

Let the BREADTH be x then length be 5x

AREA = 1805

⇒ x × 5x = 1805

⇒ 5x2 = 1805

⇒ x2 = 1805/5 = 361

Length cannot be negative

⇒ x = 19

⇒ Length = 5x = 5 × 19 = 95 m

⇒ Breadth = x = 19 m

⇒ Length will remain same for racing track

⇒ Area of racing track = 1805 - [(95 - 6) × (19 - 6)] sq metre

⇒ Area of racing track = 648 sq metre

∴ Cost of construction = 648 × 40 = Rs. 25,920

If a circle circumscribes a rectangle with side 4 cm and 3 cm, then find the difference between the area of the circle and rectangle?1). 19.625 cm22). 12.625 cm23). 7.625 cm24). 10.625 cm2

Answer»

Solution:

Given : A circle circumscribes a rectangle with,

Length 'l' = 4 cm and BREADTH 'B' = 3 cm.

To find : Difference between the area of the circle and rectangle.

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

= 4 × 3 = 12 cm²

To find the area of the circle we have to find the diagonal of the rectangle which gives US the diameter of the circle.

To find the diagonal we have to use Pythagoras Theorem.

Diagonal (d) = √( l² + b² )

d= √( 4² + 3² )

d= √( 16 + 9 )

d = √( 25 )

d = 5 cm 

We KNOW that,diagonal of rectangle = diameter of circle

Diameter (D) = 5cm

Radius (r) = 5/2 = 2.5 cm 

Area of the circle = πr² cm²

Area of the circle = 3.14 × 2.5 × 2.5 cm²

Area of the circle = 19.625 cm²

Difference between the two areas = (19.625 - 12)cm² = 7.625 cm²

So, the correct option is 3). 7.625 cm²

Quantity B: Number of ice cream cones that can be made from a right circular cylinder shape ice cream container having radius 6 cm and height 5 cm. Ice cream cone to be made should have height 4 cm and slant height 5 cm and there should be a hemisphere made on top of the cone having radius equal to the radius of cone.1). Quantity A > Quantity B2). Quantity A < Quantity B3). Quantity A ≥ Quantity B4). Quantity A ≤ Quantity B

Answer»

Quantity A:

Let the number of hemispheres that can be formed = x

Radius of hemisphere to be formed = Rh

⇒ Volume of cylinder = π × r2 × h = π × (6/2)2 × 4 = π × 32 × 4 = 36π

Now,

 Volume of sphere = volume of cylinder

⇒ (4/3) × π × R3 = 36 × π

⇒ R = 3 cm

⇒ Radius of hemisphere forms = Rh = R/2 = 3/2

Now, since hemisphere is formed by melting sphere,

⇒ Volume of all the hemisphere formed = volume of sphere

⇒ x × {(2/3) × π × Rh 3} = 36 × π

⇒ x × {(2/3) × π × (3/2) 3} = 36 × π

⇒ x × {(2/3) × π × (27/8)} = 36 × π

⇒ x = 16

So, 16 hemispheres can be formed from melting the sphere

⇒ Quantity A = 16

Quantity B:

Let number of ice cream cones that can formed = x

Now, Ice cream container is a cylinder having radius 6 cm and height 5 cm,

TOTAL volume of ice cream in container = volume of cylinder = π × r2 × h = π × 62 × 5 = 180 × π

Now, it is given that ice cream formed should also have a hemisphere built on it,

⇒ Total volume of 1 ice cream cone = volume of cone + volume of hemisphere

Given,

⇒ height of cone given = hc= 4 cm

⇒ Slant height of cone = L = 5 cm

We know, rc2 + hc2 = l2

⇒ rc2 + 16 = 25

⇒ rc2 = 25 – 16 = 9

⇒ rc = 3

⇒ Volume of cone = (1/3) ×π × r2 × h = (1/3) × π × 32 × 4 = 12 × π

⇒ Volume of hemisphere = (2/3) × π × rh3

As it is given that radius of hemisphere = radius of cone

⇒ rh = 3

⇒ Volume of hemisphere = (2/3) × π × 33 = 18 × π

⇒ Total volume of one ice cream cone = (12 × π) + (18 × π) = 30 × π

⇒ Total number of cones = total volume of ice cream/volume of one ice cream cone

⇒ Number of cones = (180 × π)/(30 × π) = 6

⇒ Number of cones that can be made = 6

⇒ Quantity B = 6

∴ Quantity A > Quantity B

Answer»

Let the length and the breadth of a rectangle be 4x and 3x.

We know that the area of rectangle = Lenght × Breadth

⇒ Area of rectangle = (4x) × (3x) = 12x2

⇒ 108 = 12x2

X= 9

⇒ x = 3

∴ Length = 4x = 12 and Breadth = 3x = 9

It is given that, SIDE of SQUARE = Breadth of rectangle = 9

Area of square = Side2 = 92 = 81

Hence, the area of square = 81 m2

Answer»

Let the side of the EQUILATERAL triangle be ‘X’.

Perimeter of the triangle = 3x

Let the side of the REGULAR hexagon be ‘y’

⇒ Perimeter of regular hexagon = 6y

∴ 6y = 3x

2y = x

y = x/2 ----- (1)

Area of an equilateral triangle = √3x2/4

Area of regular hexagon = 3√3y2/2 = 3√3x2/8 

From (1)

∴ Ratio = (√3x2/4)/(3√3x2/8) = 2 : 3

Given that height of the triangle is decreased by 40% and base is INCREASED by 40%

NEW height of the triangle = h – (40h/100) = 3h/5

⇒ New base of the triangle = b + (40b/100) = 7b/5

New area of the triangle = ½ × (3h/5) × (7b/5) = 21bh/50---(2)

∴ It is clear from (1) and (2) that Area of the new triangle is decreased

Decrease in area = (bh/2) – (21bh/50) = 2bh/25

We know that,

Percentage decrease in area = $(\frac{{{\rm{Decrease\ in\ area}}}}{{{\rm{Original\ area}}}} \TIMES 100)$

∴ Percentage decrease in area = $(\frac{{\frac{{2bh}}{{25}}}}{{\frac{{bh}}{2}}} \times 100{\rm{}} = {\rm{}}16)$

∴ The area of the triangle will be decreased by 16%

Quantity B: Volume of a pyramid with square base of side 15 cm and height is 10 cm.1). Quantity A > Quantity B2). Quantity A < Quantity B3). Quantity A ≥ Quantity B4). Quantity A ≤ Quantity B

Answer»

Quantity A:

Let height of the cylinder = a cm, RADIUS = (a + 2) cm and Curved surface area = 220 cm2

⇒ 2πrh = 220

⇒ 2 × 22/7 × a × (a + 2) = 220

⇒ a2 + 2a – 35 = 0

⇒ (a + 7) (a – 5) = 0

⇒ a = 5 or -7 (? height can’t be NEGATIVE)

⇒ Height = 5 cm and radius = 7 cm

⇒ Volume of cylinder = πr2h = 22/7 × 7 × 7 × 5 = 770 cm3

Quantity B:

⇒ Volume of the pyramid = 1/3 × (Area of base) × (Height) = 1/3 × (15 × 15) × 10 = 750 cm3

∴ Quantity A > Quantity B

The radius of each of the wheels of a bus is 30 cm. How many complete revolutions does each wheel make in 8 minutes if the bus is traveling at a speed of 45 kmph?1). 30922). 32683). 35614). 3727

Answer»

Number of Revolutions = Total DISTANCE/Distance covered in 1 revolution

Distance covered in 1 revolution = Circumference of wheel = 2πr = 2 × π × 30 = 60π

⇒ Speed = Distance/Time

⇒ 45 = Distance/(8/60)

⇒ Distance = 90/15 = 6 km

⇒ Distance = 6 × 1000 m = 6000 × 100 CM = 600000 cm

∴ Number of Revolutions = 600000/60π = 3184.71 ≈ 3184

A sphere is melted to form a cylinder whose height is 2 ½ times its radius. What is the ratio of the radius of sphere to cylinder?1). 1 : 42). 4 : 13). √5 : 24). \(\sqrt[3]{15}\;:2\)

Answer»

Since the amount of material used for both the sphere and the material are the same, their volumes will be equal.

Let the RADIUS of the sphere be r, and that of the cylinder be R.

It is given that the height of the cylinder is 2 ½ times its radius,

⇒ H = 5/2 × R

Volume of the sphere = $(\frac{4}{3}\pi {r^3})$

Volume of the cylinder = $(\pi {R^2}H = \pi {R^2} \times \frac{5}{2}R = \frac{5}{2}\pi {R^3})$

Since we KNOW that these volumes are the same,

$(\begin{array}{L} \frac{4}{3}\pi {r^3}\; = \;\frac{5}{2}\pi {R^3}\\ \Rightarrow \;\frac{{{r^3}}}{{{R^3}}} = \frac{15}{8}\\ \Rightarrow \;r\;:\;R\; = \;\sqrt[3]{15}:2 \end{array})$

Find the area of the square, if it’s inscribed in a circle whose radius is 3 m.1). 9 m22). 11 m23). 18 m24). 12 m2

Answer»

RADIUS of circle = 3 m2

Square is INSCRIBED in a circle, which means the diameter of circle is the diagonal of square.

⇒ Diameter of circle = 2 × radius = 2 × 3 = 6

Diagonal of square = 6

We know,

⇒ Side2 + Side2 = Diagonal2

⇒ 2 × side2 = 62

⇒ 2 × side2 = 36

⇒ Side2 = 18

⇒ We know, area of square = side2

∴ Area of square = 18 m2

The side of a square is increased by 18 percent. Calculate the change in the area of the square?1). 40% increase2). 39.24% increase3). 35% decrease4). 39.24% decrease

Answer»

Let the SIDE of the SQUARE be X cm

Area of the square = X2

CHANGED side of the square = X + 0.18 × X = 1.18X

Area of the changed square = 1.18X × 1.18X = 1.3924X2

Change in the area = 1.3924X2 – X2 = 0.3924X2

Percentage change in area = 39.24%

∴ The area of the square INCREASES by 39.24%

The cost to fill a square playground with sand at the rate of Rs. 160 per hectare is Rs. 1440. The cost of putting a fence around it at the rate of 75 paise per meter is 1). Rs. 9002). Rs. 18003). Rs. 3604). Rs. 810

Answer»

We know, 1 hectare = 10000 square meter

Total COST to fill it with sand = Rs. 1440

Cost to fill PER hectare is Rs. 160

∴ Area of the field = 

$(\frac{{1440}}{{160}})$ hectare = 9 hectare = 9 × 10000 square meter

If length of playground is L meter then its area is L2 square meter

∴ L2 = 9 × 10000

⇒ L = √ (9 × 10000) = 300 meter

Perimeter of the square playground is 4L meter = 4 × 300 =1200 meter

The cost of putting a FENCE around it at the rate of 75 paise per meter is

= Rs. (1200 × 0.75) = Rs. 900
