From a solid sphere of radius $R$, a concentric solid sphere of radius $\dfrac{R}{2}$ is removed. The total surface area increases by

  1. $0\%$
  2. $25\%$
  3. $50\%$
  4. $75\%$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Solution:- (B) $25 \%$
Initial area of sphere $ \left( {A} _{1} \right) = 4 \pi {R}^{2}$
New area of sphere $\left( {A} _{2} \right) = 4 \pi {R}^{2} + 4 \pi {\left( \cfrac{R}{2} \right)}^{2} = 5 \pi {R}^{2}$
$\therefore$ Increase in area $= \cfrac{{A} _{2} - {A} _{1}}{{A} _{1}} \times 100$
$\Rightarrow$ Increase in area $= \cfrac{5 \pi {R}^{2} - 4 \pi {R}^{2}}{4 \pi {R}^{2}} \times 100 = 25 \%$
Hence the area will be increased by $25 \%$.

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. $\frac{21}{11}$

D Correct answer
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

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
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. $3:2$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
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. $257$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
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. $40.25\;cm^3$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
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) $

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

A metallic spherical shell of internal and external diameters $8 cm$ and $12 cm$, respectively is melted and recast into the form of a cone of base diameter $8 cm$. The height of the cone is

  1. $114 cm$
  2. $76 cm$
  3. $38 cm$
  4. $19 cm$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Volume of a hollow sphere of outer Radius R and inner radius r $ =

\cfrac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi ({R}^{3} -{ r }^{ 3 }) $

Inner radius of the spherical shell $ = \cfrac {8}{2} = 4 cm $

Outer radius of the spherical shell $ = \cfrac {12}{2} = 6  cm $

Volume of a cone $ = \cfrac { 1 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 2 }h $  where r is the

radius of the base of the cone and h is the height.
Radius of the cone $ = \cfrac{8}{2} = 4  cm $


Now, Volume of the hollow sphere $ = $ Volume of cone
$ => \cfrac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi ({6}^{3} -{ 4 }^{ 3 }) = \cfrac { 1 }{ 3 } \pi { 4 }^{ 2 }h $
$ => 4 \times(216-64) = 16h $
$ h = 38  cm $
