Consider an incomplete pyramid of balls on a square base having $18$ players, and having $13$ balls on each side of the top layer. Then the total number $N$ of balls in that pyramid satisfies 

  1. $ 9000 < N <10000$

  2. $8000 < N < 9000$

  3. $7000 < N < 8000$

  4. $ 10000 < N < 12000 $


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Top layer has $(13 \times 13)$ balls 
Similarly one layer below top layer will have $(14 \times 14) $ balls and we have $18$ lesens to total number of ball 
$ N = (13)^2 + (14)^2 + . . . . + (30)^2 $

$\displaystyle N = \frac {30 \times 31 \times 61} {6} = \frac {12 \times 13 \times 25} {6}$

$ N = 8805 $

The circumference of a 1 cm thick pipe is 44 cm. The level of water that 7 cm of pipe can hold is

  1. $798 cm^3$

  2. $308 cm^3$

  3. $792 cm^3$

  4. $795 cm^3$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Given that

$2\pi r=44$
$r=7\ cm$

So, the inner radius of the pipe $=7-1=6\ cm$

Therefore, the volume of the pipe
$=\pi r^2h$
$=\pi \times 6^2\times 7$
$=792\ cm^3$

Hence, this is the answer.

The base of a right prism is a square of perimeter 20 cm and its height is 30 cm. The volume of the prism is

  1. $700 cm^3$

  2. $750 cm^3$

  3. $800 cm^3$

  4. $850 cm^3$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given, perimeter $=4a=20$cm
$\therefore a=5$ cm
Area $=a^2=25  cm^2$
Volume $=$ Area $\times$ Height
Volume $=25 \times 30$
Volume $=750  cm^3$

The base of a right prism is an equilateral triangle of edge $12$m. If the volume of the prism is $288\sqrt 3m^3$, then its height is:

  1. $6$m

  2. $8$m

  3. $10$m

  4. $12$m


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

length of Equilateral triangle $= 12 m$
Area of equilateral triangle = $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2$ = $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(12)^2$ = $36\sqrt{3}$
Volume of prism = $288\sqrt{3} m^3$ = Area of triangle X height
$288\sqrt{3} m^3$ = $36 \sqrt{3} \times$ height
$\therefore $ Height $= 8 m$

If the circumference of the inner edge of a hemispherical bowl is $\displaystyle\frac{132}{7}:cm$, then what is the capacity?

  1. $12\pi:cm^3$

  2. $18\pi:cm^3$

  3. $24\pi:cm^3$

  4. $36\pi:cm^3$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$\displaystyle2\pi r=\frac{132}{7}\implies r=3$

$\therefore$ Capacity $\displaystyle=\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3=18\pi$

The side of a cube is equal to diameter of the sphere. The ratio of volumes 
of cube and sphere is

  1. $\frac{11}{12}$

  2. $\frac{22}{11}$

  3. $\frac{11}{21}$

  4. $\frac{21}{11}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Let the sides of cube be $s$ and radius of sphere be $r$

then $s=2r=(2r)^3=8r^3$
Volume of a cube$=s^3$
Volume of a sphere$=\cfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3$
Ratio of volume of cube and sphere$=\cfrac{8r^3}{\cfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3}$
$=\cfrac{8r^3}{\cfrac{4}{3}\times \cfrac{22}{7} r^3}\=\cfrac{21}{11}$

A hollow spherical shell is made of metal of density $4.8$ g/cm$^3$. If its internal and external radii are $10$ cm and $12$ cm respectively, find the weight of the shell

  1. $15.24 $ kg

  2. $12.84 $ kg

  3. $14.64 $ kg

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Volume of spherical shell
$= \displaystyle \frac{4 \pi}{3} (R^3 - r^3) = \frac{4 \pi}{3} (12^3 - 10^3)$
$=\displaystyle \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times (12 -10) (12^2 +12 \times 10 +10^2)$
$=\displaystyle \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times 2 \times 264 cm^3$
$Weight = volume \times density = \displaystyle \frac{4}{3}\times \pi \times 364 \times 4.8 = 14.64 kg$

The radius of a sphere is r and radius of base of a cylinder is r and height is 2r. The ratio of their volumes will be-

  1. $2:3$

  2. $3:4$

  3. $4:3$

  4. $3:2$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given,

The radius of the sphere $=r$

The radius of the cylinder $=r$

The height of the cylinder $=2r$

 

We know that the volume of the sphere

${{V} _{1}}=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}$

 

We know that the volume of the cylinder

$ {{V} _{2}}=\pi {{r}^{2}}h $

$ {{V} _{2}}=\pi {{r}^{2}}\left( 2r \right) $

$ {{V} _{2}}=2\pi {{r}^{3}} $

 

Therefore, the required ratio

$ \dfrac{{{V} _{1}}}{{{V} _{2}}}=\dfrac{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}}{2\pi {{r}^{3}}} $

$ \dfrac{{{V} _{1}}}{{{V} _{2}}}=\dfrac{2\pi {{r}^{3}}}{3\pi {{r}^{3}}} $

$ \dfrac{{{V} _{1}}}{{{V} _{2}}}=\dfrac{2}{3} $

$ {{V} _{1}}:{{V} _{2}}=2:3 $

 

Hence, this is the answer.

The volume of a spherical shell whose internal and external diameters are $8cm$ and $10cm$ respectively (in cubic cm) is:

  1. $\cfrac{122\pi}{3}$

  2. $\cfrac{244\pi}{3}$

  3. $212$

  4. $257$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given, internal diameter $=8cm$ and external diameter $=10cm$
Volume of a hollow sphere of outer Radius R and inner radius r $ = \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi ({R}^{2} -{ r}^{ 3 }) $
Inner radius of the spherical shell $ = \frac {8}{2} = 4 cm $
Outer radius of the spherical shell $ = \frac {10}{2} = 5  cm $
Hence, volume of spherical shell $ = \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \times \pi \times ({5}^{3} - {4}^{3}) = \frac { 4 }{ 3 } \times \pi  \times 61 = \frac {244\pi}{3}  { cm }^{ 3 }  $

A metallic hemispherical bowl is $0.25\;cm$ thick. The inside radius of the bowl is $5\;cm$. Find the volume of steel used in making the bowl.

  1. $43.25\;cm^3$

  2. $41.27\;cm^3$

  3. $42.25\;cm^3$

  4. $40.25\;cm^3$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Volume of speed used $=$ $\dfrac { 2 }{ 3 } \pi \left( { r } _{ 1 }^{ 3 }-{ r } _{ 2 }^{ 3 } \right) $

${ r } _{ 1 }=5+0.25=5.25cm$
${ r } _{ 2 }=5cm$
$\therefore \quad $ Volume $=$ $\dfrac { 2 }{ 3 } \times \dfrac { 22 }{ 7 } \times \left( { \left( 5.25 \right)  }^{ 3 }-{ \left( 5 \right)  }^{ 3 } \right) $

                       $= \dfrac { 44 }{ 21 } \times \left( 144.70-125 \right) $

                       $= 41.27$ ${ cm }^{ 3 }$
