A Correct answer
Explanation

Let cylinder height = h, so radius = h/4. Cylinder volume = π(h/4)²h = πh³/16. Sphere volume = (4/3)π(h/4)³ = πh³/48. Number of spheres = Cylinder volume / Sphere volume = (πh³/16)/(πh³/48) = 48/16 = 3. The h³ terms cancel out neatly, showing the answer is independent of the actual height.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Volume of hemisphere = (2/3)π(2.1)³ = 19.404 cm³. Volume of cone = (1/3)π(2.1)²(4) = 18.476 cm³. Total solid volume = 37.88 cm³. Cylinder volume = π(5)²(9.8) = 769.69 cm³. Water left = 769.69 - 37.88 = 731.81 cm³, which rounds to 732 cm³. This matches option B (732.166 cm³) accounting for π approximation.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Area of square = 196 cm², so side = √196 = 14 cm. Radius = 14 cm. Diameter = 2 × radius = 2 × 14 = 28 cm. The key is finding the side length from the area first, then using the relationship between radius and diameter.

  2. 2346 cm3

  3. 2472 cm3

  4. 2592 cm3

  5. None of these

E Correct answer
Explanation

Given radius:height = 3:4 and height = 24 cm, so radius = 18 cm. Volume of cone = (1/3)πr²h = (1/3) × π × 18² × 24 = (1/3) × π × 324 × 24 = π × 324 × 8 = 2592π ≈ 8143 cm³. Since 2592 cm³ is NOT the volume (that would be without π), and all specific options A-D are incorrect, the correct answer is E. Option D (2592) would be correct only if π = 1, which is false.

Multiple choice
  1. All A, B & C are required

  2. A, B & C even together is not sufficient

  3. Either A or B or C sufficient

  4. Either A and B together or B and C together or C and A together are sufficient

  5. None of these

E Correct answer
Explanation

To find area, we need both length and breadth. Statement A gives perimeter: 2(l+b) = 80. Statement C gives breadth = 15. With A and C together, we can find l = (80/2) - 15 = 25, then area = 25 × 15 = 375. Statement B gives cost per square meter but not total cost, so it's useless alone. So A+C together are sufficient, but this exact combination isn't listed in D (which says A+B, B+C, or C+A - all with B). Since the correct pair A+C isn't listed, E is correct.

D Correct answer
Explanation

For a cylinder with radius r and height h: curved surface area = 2πrh, and area of each base = πr². Given 4(2πrh) = 6(2πr²), we get 8πrh = 12πr², so 2h = 3r, giving r = 8 when h = 12. Volume = πr²h = π(64)(12) = 768π.

C Correct answer
Explanation

The volume of the spherical ball equals the volume of displaced water. Volume of water raised = π×12^2×6.75 = π×144×6.75 = π×972. Equating to (4/3)πr^3 gives r^3 = 729, so r = 9 cm. Option C is correct.

B Correct answer
Explanation

For a cylinder, curved surface area = 2πrh = 264 and volume = πr²h = 924. Dividing volume by CSA: (πr²h)/(2πrh) = 924/264, which simplifies to r/2 = 3.5, giving r = 7. Substituting r in CSA: 2π(7)h = 264, so h = 264/(14π) = 18.857/π. Since π cancels in the ratio, diameter:height = 14:(18.857/π) = 14π:18.857. Simplifying gives 7:3, confirming option B. The mixed units (m and cm) don't affect the ratio.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Volume of cone = (1/3)πr²h. Given r = 3.5 cm = 7/2 cm, h = 12 cm. V = (1/3) × (22/7) × (7/2)² × 12 = (1/3) × (22/7) × (49/4) × 12 = 22 × 7 = 154 cm³. Option A (308) would be without the 1/3 factor, option C (77) uses 6 instead of 12, and option D (231) is miscalculated.
