Question 2:

Write the correct answer in each of the following:
The total surface area of a cube is 96 cm2. The volume of the cube is:
(A) 8 cm3
(B) 512 cm3
(C) 64 cm3
(D) 27 cm3

Answer:

Surface area of cube = 6 × (Side)2
⇒ 96 = 6 × (Side)2
⇒ (Side)2 = 16
⇒ Side = 4 cm

Now, volume of cube = (Side)3
                                          = (4)3
                                   = 64 cm3

Question 3:

Write the correct answer in each of the following:
A cone is 8.4 cm high and the radius of its base is 2.1 cm. It is melted and recast into a sphere. The radius of the sphere is :
(A) 4.2 cm
(B) 2.1 cm
(C) 2.4 cm
(D) 1.6 cm

Answer:

Given: height of cone = 8.4 cm
            radius of cone = 2.1 cm
Volume of cone =13πr2h=13×π×2.12×8.4=π×4.41 × 2.8 cm3

Since, cone is melted and recast into sphere, 
Volume of sphere = Volume of cone

43πr3 =π×4.41×2.8r3 = 4.41×2.1r = 2.1 cm

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

The volume of a sphere is equal to two-third of the volume of a cylinder whose height and diameter are equal to the diameter of the sphere.

Answer:

True
Let radius of sphere = r
According to question,
height and diameter of cylinder = diameter of sphere
So, radius of cylinder = r, height of cylinder = 2r

Question 2:

Write True or False and justify your answer in the given question :
If the radius of a right circular cone is halved and height is doubled, the volume will remain unchanged.

Answer:

False
Let original radius of cone = r
and height of cone = h
Volume of cone = 13πr2h
Now, radius of cone is halved and height is doubled then.

In a right circular cone, height, radius and slant height do not always be sides of a right triangle.

Answer:

False
Let us consider a right circular cone with height = h, radius = r, slant height = l.

Using Phythagoras theorem,

Let radius and height of cylinder be 'r' and 'h'
Then, curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh   ......(1)
Now, according to question,
Radius is doubled and curved surface area does not change.

 New Curved Area=2π2r·h'                              =4πrh' ................(2)Now Equation (1) and (2) will be equal, if h'=h2

Hence, given statement is true.

               radius of cone = r 
Also, height of cone = Edge of cube
                             = 2

 Volume of Cone=13πr2h=13πr2·2r=23πr3
                             = Volume of hemisphere of radius r 

Here given statement is true.

Question 1:

Metal spheres, each of radius 2 cm, are packed into a rectangular box of internal dimensions 16 cm × 8 cm × 8 cm. When 16 spheres are packed the box is filled with preservative liquid. Find the volume of this liquid. Give your answer to the nearest integer. [Use π = 3.14]

Answer:

Volume of rectangular box = length × breadth × height

                                           =16×8×8=1024 cm3
Volume of single sphere
 =43πr3=43×3.14×23=33.4933 cm3
Volume of 16 spheres = 33.5238 × 16
                                    = 535.8933 cm3
∴ Volume of liquid = Volume of box – Volume of 16 spheres
                              =1024-535.8933=488.11 cm3488 cm3

Hence, Volume of liquid will be 488 cm3.

Question 2:

A storage tank is in the form of a cube. When it is full of water, the volume of water is 15.625 m3. If the present depth of water is 1.3 m, find the volume of water already used from the tank.

Answer:

Volume of storage tank = 15.625 cm3
a3 = 15.625 (∵ Volume of Cube = a3)
a = 2.5 m.
Now, Depth of Water = 1.3 m (given)
⇒ Used water is of height = 1.2 m
So, Volume of water used = 2.5 × 2.5 × 1.2
                                        = 7.5 m3

Question 5:

Two solid spheres made of the same metal have weights 5920 g and 740 g, respectively. Determine the radius of the larger sphere, if the diameter of the smaller one is 5 cm.

Answer:

Let Mass and Volume of sphere 1 be M1 and V1 and Mass and Volume of sphere 2 be M2 and V2.

Since, Mass is directly proportional to volume for same metal.

M1M2=V1V2

Also, Volume of sphere is proportional to R3.
So, M1M2=R13R235920740=R132.538=R12.532=R12.5R1=2.5×2R1=5 cm.

Hence, radius of larger sphere is 5 cm.

Question 1:

A cylindrical tube opened at both the ends is made of iron sheet which is 2 cm thick. If the outer diameter is 16 cm and its length is 100 cm, find how many cubic centimeters of iron has been used in making the tube?

Answer:

Given: Outer diameter=16 cm, Then             Outer radius = 8 cm.Height =length=100 cm
Volume of Cylinder= πr2h= 3.14×82×100= 20,096 cm3  

Now, Inner diameter = Outside – 2 × thickness of iron sheet
                                  = 16 – (2 × 2)
                                  = 12 cm

⇒ Inner radius = 6 cm
Thus, Volume of inner cylinder
=πr2h=3.14×62×100=11,304 cm3  

Volume of iron used = Volume of Cylinder – Volume of hollow space
                                 = 20,096 – 11,304
                                = 8792 cm3
