The curved surface of a circular cylinder of height 'h' and the curved surface area of the cone of slant height 2 'h' having the same circular base are in the ratio of

  1. 1 : 2

  2. 2 : 1

  3. 1 : 1

  4. 1 : 3


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Let the base radius of cone and circular cylinder is r and height of circular cylinder is h and height of cone 2h

Then Curved surface area of circular cylinder =$2\pi rh$
And curved surface area of cone=$\pi r(2h)=2\pi rh$
So ratio of Curved surface area of circular cylinder : curved surface area of cone :: $2\pi r(h)=2\pi rh$ : $2\pi rh$=1:1

A hollow sphere of internal and external radii 3 cm and 4 cm respectively is malted into a cylinder of diameter 37 cm The height of the cylinder is

  1. 2 cm

  2. 2.5 cm

  3. 3 cm

  4. none


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Given the external  radius of hollow sphere is 4 cm and internal radius 3 cm 

Then volume of metal used=$\frac{4}{2}\pi (R^{2}-r^{2})=\frac{4}{3}\pi \left ( (4)^{2}-(3)^{2} \right )=\frac{4}{3}\pi (16-9)=\frac{4}{3}7\pi $
The diameter of cylinder 37 cm 
Radius of cylinder is =18.5 cm
Volume of cylinder=$\pi r^{2}h=\pi (18.5)^{2}h$
But cylinder made by metal of hollow sphere
$\pi (18.5\times 18.5)h=\frac{4}{3}7\pi \Rightarrow h=\frac{4\times 7}{3\times 18.5\times 18.5}\Rightarrow \Rightarrow h=0.027 cm$

A cistern $6$ m long and $4$ m wide contains water to a depth of $1.25$ m. What is the area of wetted surface?

  1. $40$ sq. m

  2. $45$ sq. m

  3. $49$ sq. m

  4. $73$ sq. m


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Given, $l = 6, b = 4$

Also given depth i.e., $ h = 1.25$
Area of the wetted surface $= 2[lb + bh + hl]$
$=2[(6\times 4)+(4\times 1.25)+(1.25\times 6)]$
$=2[24+5+7.5]$
$= 73$ sq. m
Therefore, the area of wetted surface is $73$ sq. m.

The outer and inner diameters of a circular pipe are $6$ cm and $4$ cm respectively. If its length is $10$ cm then what is the total surface area in square centimetres?

  1. $55\pi$

  2. $110\pi$

  3. $150\pi$

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Given, outer and inner diameters of circular pipe are $6$ cm and $4$ cm
Therefore, outer and inner radii of a circular pipe are $3$ cm and $2$ cm.
Thus total surface area would be $ 10\times \pi (3^{2} - 2^{2})$ $= 50\pi $ sq. cm.

What will be the volume of a sphere of diameter $15\ cm$? (Correct up to $2$ decimal place)

  1. $1436.76\ {cm}^{3}$

  2. $1767.15\ {cm}^{3}$

  3. $14137.17\ {cm}^{3}$

  4. $4188.79\ {cm}^{3}$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The Volume of a sphere$=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi \ \text{R}^{3}$
Here Radius $R=7.5 \ cm$
On solving We get Volume$=1767.15\ {cm}^{3}$ 

What will be the radius of a sphere whose surface area is 616 $cm^{2}$? (Use $\pi=\dfrac{22}{7}$)

  1. $6$ cm

  2. $7$ cm

  3. $8$ cm

  4. $9$ cm


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Radius $=\dfrac{1}{2}\times\sqrt{\dfrac{\text{surface area}}{\pi}}$
on solving we get radius $=7$ cm

If volume of sphere is $850$ $m^{3}$ then its radius and surface area are

  1. $6m$, $450$ $m^{2}$

  2. $5m$, $560$ $m^{2}$

  3. $2m$, $780$ $m^{2}$

  4. $5.88m$, $434$ $m^{2}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Volume of Sphere $=850m^3=\cfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \Rightarrow r^3=\cfrac{850\times 3\times 7}{4\times 22}=202.84 \\ \Rightarrow r=\sqrt[3]{202.84}=5.88m$
Surface area $=4\pi r^2=4\times \cfrac{22}{7}\times 5.88\times 5.88 \approx 434m^2$

 If the radius of a sphere is doubled, then what is the ratio of new to the old surface area?

  1. $1:2$

  2. $2:1$

  3. $1:4$

  4. $4:1$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

$S _1=4\pi r^2 \ S _2=4\pi (2r)^2=16\pi r^2 \ \cfrac{S _2}{S _1}=\cfrac{16\pi r^2}{4\pi r^2}=\cfrac{4}{1} \Rightarrow 4:1$

A test-tube consists of a hollow cylindrical tube joined to a hemi-spherical bown of the same internal radius. The whole tube holds $350$ cc of water and in the cylindrical portion falls $1$ cm if $19.64$ cc of water is removed. Find the length of the cylindrical portion of the tube. (Take $\pi =$ $22/7$)

  1. $12.15$ cm

  2. $16.15 $ cm

  3. $24.15 $ cm

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let r cm. be the radius of the hemisphere and h cm be the length of the cylindrical portion.
Volume of water removed $\pi r^2 (1) = 19.64cc$
$\Rightarrow r^2 = 19.64 \times \displaystyle \frac{7}{22}  \Rightarrow r = 2.5 cm$
Volume of the whole tube $= \pi r^2 h + \displaystyle \frac{2}{h} \pi r^3 = 350 c.c.$
$\Rightarrow \pi r^2 \displaystyle \left ( h + \frac{2}{3} r \right ) = 350$
$\Rightarrow \displaystyle \frac{22}{7} \times 2.5^2 \times \left ( h + \frac{2}{3} \times 2.5 \right ) = 350$
$\displaystyle \frac{22}{7} \times 6.25 \times (h+ 1.67) = 350 $
$ \Rightarrow \displaystyle 350 \times \frac{7}{22} \times 6. 25 - 1.67 cm    \Rightarrow h = 16.15 cm$

The height of a hollow cylinder is $14cm$ if external diameter is $16cm$ and total curved surface area of the hollow cylinder is $1320sq.cm$, then its internal diameter is

  1. $14cm$

  2. $16cm$

  3. $7cm$

  4. $8cm$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given     

external radius $r _2=8$, height of cylinder $h=14$
 we have,


$2\pi h(r _{1}+r _{2})=1320$

$ \implies8+r _1=\displaystyle \frac{1320\times7}{2\times22\times14}$

$\implies r _1=7cm$
