(a) Concepts questions
(b) Calculation problems
(c) Long answer questions

Question 1
A cube and cuboids have the same volume. The dimensions of cuboids are in ratio 1 : 2 : 4. If the difference between the cost of painting the cuboids and cube whole surface area at rate of Rs 5 per m² is Rs. 80. Find their volumes.

Answer

Let each side of cube be x m.
Ratio of sides of cuboid is 1:2:4.
Let the sides be y ,2y and 4y m
Now as per question
Volume of cube= volume of cuboid
$x^3=y \times 2y \times 4y=8y^3$
or x=2y
Surface Area of Cube = $6x^2= 24y^2$
Surface Area of Cubiod=$2(lb+lh+bh) =2(2y^2 + 8y^2 + 4y^2)$
As per the question
$[2(2y^2 + 8y^2 + 4y^2) - 24y^2 ] \times 5 =80$
$20y^2 = 80$
y=2
Therefore Side of cube = 4 m
Volume of cube =$(4)^3=64 \ m^3$
Now the sides of cuboid=y,2y,4y=2,4,8m
Therefore Volume of cuboid =$2 \times 4 \times 8=64 \ m^3$

Question 2
A tent is in shape of right circular cylinder up to a height of 3m and a cone above it. The maximum height of tent above ground is 13.5m. Calculate the cost of painting the inner side of tent at rate of Rs. 3/sq m if radius of base is 14m.

Answer

Dimension of Cylinder
$H_1=3 \ m$
r=14 m
Dimension of Cone
$H_2= 13.5 - 3 = 10.5 \ m$
r= 14 cm

Curved Surface Area of Tent = Curved Surface Area of Cylinder + Curved Surface Area of Cone
$=2 \pi rh_1 + \pi r \sqrt {r^2 + H_2^2}$
=1034 sq m
So cost will be = 1034 * 3 =Rs 3102

Question 3
A school provides milk to students daily in cylindrical glasses of diameter 7cm. If glass is filled with milk up to a height of 12cm, find how many liters of milk is needed to serve 1600 students.

Answer

d= 7 cm, r= 3.5 cm
h=12 cm
Volume of Glass = $\pi r^2 h= 462 \ cm^3$
Volume of Glass for 1600 students= 1600 * 462=739200 cm³ = 739.2 litre

Question 4
Eight metallic spheres, each of radius 2 mm, are melted and cast into a single sphere. Calculate the radius of the new sphere

Answer

$\frac {4}{3} \pi R^3= 8 \frac {4}{3} \pi (2)^3$
R=4mm

Question 5
The diameter of a sphere is decreased by 30%. By what percent its surface area decreases?

Answer

Initial radius=r
Original surface area =$4 \pi r^2$
If the radius of the sphere is decreased by 30% then its radius becomes 7r/10
Then the surface area of the new sphere will be
$= 4 \pi (\frac {7r}{10})^2 =\frac {49}{100} \times 4 \pi r^2$
Now the surface area is decreased by
$=\frac {4 \pi r^2 - 4 \pi r^2 \times \frac {49}{100}}{4 \pi r^2}= \frac {51}{100}$
So the percentage of the change in surface area is 51%.

Question 6
In a cylinder radius is doubled and height is halved then find its curved surface area.

Answer

$R= 2r$ and $H=\frac {h}{2}$
$S= 2 \pi RH= 2 \pi (2r) \frac {h}{2}= 2 \pi rh$
So CSA remains same

Question 7

Answer

surface area and volume class 9 worksheet with solutions
Volume of cone =$\frac {1}{3} \pi r^2 h= \frac {1}{3} \times \frac {22}{7} \times 9 \times 4=\frac {264}{7} cm^3 $
total surface area= $\pi rl + \pi r^2=15 \pi + 9 \pi =24 \pi cm^2 $

Question 8
If h,s and v are height, curved surface and volume of cone respectively, prove that $3v h^3 + 9v^2 -s^2 h^2=0$

Answer

$s= \pi rl$
$v= \frac {1}{3} \pi r^2 h$
Taking LHS
$3v h^3 + 9v^2 -s^2 h^2$
=$3 (\frac {1}{3} \pi r^2 h) h^3 + 9 (\frac {1}{3} \pi r^2 h)^2 - (\pi rl)^2 h^2$
$=\pi ^2 r^2 h^4 + \pi ^2 r^4 h^2 - \pi ^2 r^2 h^2 l^2$
Now $l^2 = h^2 + r^2$
$=0$
Hence Proved

Question 9
An edge of a cube measure r cm. If the largest possible right circular cone is cut out of this cube, then find the volume of cone?

Answer

Diameter of Cone= r, Radius= r/2
Height =r
Volume of cone=$ \frac {1}{3} \pi r^2 h$
$= \frac {1}{3} \pi (r/2)^2 r$
$=\frac {1}{12} \pi r^3$

Question 11
How many planks of dimensions 5m × 25cm × 10cm can be stored in a pit which is 20 m long, 6m wide and 80 cm deep?

Answer

Number of plank that can be stored =$\frac {\text{Volume of pit}}{\text {Volume of each plank}} = \frac {20 \times 6 \times .8}{5 \times .25 \times .1}=768$

Question 12
The surface area of a sphere of radius 5cm is 5 times the area of the curved surface area of cone of radius 4cm. Find the height and volume of cone. ( π= 22/7)

Answer

Surface area of sphere= $4 \pi r^2= 400 \pi \ cm^2$
curved surface area of cone=$ \pi rl \ cm^2 =4 \pi l \ cm^2$
Now As per the question
$400 \pi= 5 \times 4 \pi l$
l=5 cm
Now we know that
$l^2 = h^2 + r^2$
or $h^2 = l^2 - r^2 =5^2 - 4^2 = 3^2$
h= 3 cm
Now Volume of Cone is given by
$V= \frac {1}{3} \pi r^2 h$
Substituting the values
V=50.29 cm³

Question 13
A sweet shop has one spherical ladoo of radius 5cm with the same amount of material, how many ladoos of radius 2.5cm can be made?

Answer

Number of ladoos = $\frac {\text{Volume of Big Ladoo}}{\text{Volume of smal ladoo}}= \frac {\frac {4}{3} \pi (5)^3}{ \frac {4}{3} \pi (2.5)^3}=8$

Question 14
A sphere and right circular cylinder of same radius have equal volumes by what percentage does diameters of cylinder exceeds its height?

Answer

Let the radius of sphere= r= Radius of a right circular cylinder
As per to the question,
Volume of cylinder= volume of a sphere
$\pi r^2 h=\frac {4}{3} \pi r^3$
$h=\frac {4}{3}r$
Now Diameter of the cylinder = 2r
So, Inreased diameter from height of the cylinder =$2r-\frac {4}{3}r=\frac {2}{3} r$
Therefore percentage increase in diameter of the cylinder =$ \frac {(2/3)r \times 100}{(4/3)r=50$ %

Question 15
Curved surface area of an ice cream cone of slate height 12cm is 113.04cm ². Find the base radius and height of cone ( π= 3.14)

Answer

CSA of cone = π rl
Therefore
$113.04= 3.14 \times r \times 12$
or r=3 cm
Now
$l = \sqrt {r^2 + h^2}$
or
$h = \sqrt {l^2 - r^2} = \sqrt {135} = 3 \sqrt {15}$ cm

Question 16
A semi circular sheet of metal of radius 14cm is to be bent to form an open conical cup. Find the capacity of cup?

Question 18
Each edge of cube is increased by 50%. Find the percentage increase in surface area of cube.

Answer

Let a be the edge
Original Surface Area= $6a^2$
If edge of cube is increased by 50%, then edge becomes = 1.5a
New Surface Area = $6 (1.5a)^2= 13.5a^2$
% increase = $\frac { 13.5a^2 - 6a^2}{6a^2} \times 100= 125$%

Question 19
A residential house society is built in 4000 sq m in area. It has an underground thank to collect the rain water the length, breadth and height of which are 50m, 40m and 4m respectively. If it rains at the rate of 2mm per minute for 5 hours, then calculate the depth of water in the tank. What value is depicted in problem?

Answer

Let h be the depth of water in the tank
Height of rain water falling in 1 min = 2mm
Height of rain water falling in 1hr =2*60=120 mm
Height of rain water falling in 5 hr =600 mm=.6m
Therefore Volume of rain water which falls on land =4000 * 0.6=2400 m³
Now Volume of water filled in tank = Volume of rain water which falls on land
So, $50 \times 40 \times \times h=2400$
h = 1.2 m

Question 20
A rectangular tank is 225m × 162m at base with what speed should water flow into it through an aperture 60cm x 45cm so that level of water is raised by 20cm in 2.5 hours.

Answer

Volume of a cuboid tank=LBH
Now after 5 hours, the height of the water is 20cm,
So, Volume of water in the tank in 5 hours =$225 \times 162 \times .20 =7290 m^3$
Let x m/ hour be the speed of the water flowing thought the aperture.
Then, Volume of water flown through the aperture in 5 hours =$.6 \times .45 \times 5x$
Now This should be equal to water volume in tank
$.6 \times .45 \times 5x=7290 $
x=5400 m/hr

Circumference of Sheet= &pi R=44 cm
Now when semi- circular sheet is bent to form an open conical container.
Circumference of Base of Cone = Circumference of Sheet
$2 \pi r= 44$
r= 7 cm
Now Slant height of cone= Radius of the plate = 14 cm
Now height of cone can be derived from the formula
$l^2 = h^2 + r^2$
$h= 7 \sqrt 3 $ cm
Now Volume of Cone is given by
$V= \frac {1}{3} \pi r^2 h$
Substituting the values
V=622.3 cm³
