Question Detail

A circular well with a diameter of 2 meters, is dug to a depth of 14 meters. What is the volume of the earth dug out.

\begin{aligned} 40 m^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 42 m^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 44 m^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 46 m^3 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
Volume = \pi r^2h \\
Volume = \left(\frac{22}{7}*1*1*14\right)m^3 \\
= 44 m^3
\end{aligned}

1. The volume of the largest right circular cone that can be cut out of a cube of edge 7 cm is:

\begin{aligned} 79.8 cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 79.4 cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 89.8 cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 89.4 cm^3 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Volume of the largest cone = Volume of the cone with diameter of base 7 and height 7 cm

\begin{aligned}
\text{Volume of cone =}\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h \\
= \frac{1}{3}*\frac{22}{7}*3.5*3.5*7 \\
= \frac{269.5}{3}cm^3 \\
= 89.8 cm^3
\end{aligned}

Note: radius is taken as 3.5, as diameter is 7 cm

2. The surface area of a sphere is same as the curved surface area of a right circular cylinder whose height and diameter are 12 cm each. The radius of the sphere is:

4 cm
6 cm
8 cm
10 cm

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Curved surface area of sphere =}\\
\frac{4}\pi r^2 \\
\text{Surface area of cylinder =} \\
2\pi rh \\
=> \frac{4}\pi r^2 = 2\pi rh \\
=> r^2 = \frac{6*12}{2} \\
=> r^2 = 36 \\
=> r = 6
\end{aligned}

Note: Diameter of cylinder is 12 so radius is taken as 6.

3. A hollow spherical metallic ball has an external diameter 6 cm and is 1/2 cm thick. The volume of metal used in the metal is:

\begin{aligned} 47\frac{1}{5} cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 47\frac{3}{5} cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 47\frac{7}{5} cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 47\frac{9}{5} cm^3 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Please note we are talking about "Hollow" ball. Do not ignore this word in this type of question in a hurry to solve this question.
If we are given with external radius and thickness, we can get the internal radius by subtracting them. Then the volume of metal can be obtained by its formula as,

External radius = 3 cm,
Internal radius = (3-0.5) cm = 2.5 cm

\begin{aligned}
\text{Volume of sphere =}\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\
= \frac{4}{3}*\frac{22}{7}*[3^2 - 2.5^2]cm^3 \\
= \frac{4}{3}*\frac{22}{7}*\frac{91}{8}cm^3 \\
= \frac{143}{3} cm^3 \\
= 47\frac{2}{3}cm^3
\end{aligned}

4. A hemisphere and a cone have equal bases. If their heights are also equal, then the ratio of their curved surface will be :

\begin{aligned} 2:1 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 1:\sqrt{2} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \sqrt{2}:1 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \sqrt{3}:1 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the radius of hemisphere and cone be R,
Height of hemisphere H = R.
So the height of the cone = height of the hemisphere = R
Slant height of the cone
\begin{aligned}
= \sqrt{R^2+R^2} \\
= \sqrt{2}R \\
\frac{\text{Hemisphere Curved surface area}}{\text{Cone Curved surface area}} = \\
\frac{2\pi R^2}{\pi *R*\sqrt{2}R} \\
= \sqrt{2}:1
\end{aligned}

5. The radii of two cones are in ratio 2:1, their volumes are equal. Find the ratio of their heights.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let their radii be 2x, x and their heights be h and H resp.
Then,
\begin{aligned}
\text{Volume of cone =}\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h \\
\frac{\frac{1}{3}*\pi *{(2x)}^2*h}{\frac{1}{3}*\pi *{x}^2*H} \\
=> \frac{h}{H} = \frac{1}{4} \\
=> h:H = 1:4
\end{aligned}
