Question Detail

A hollow iron pipe is 21 cm long and its external diameter is 8 cm. If the thickness of the pipe is 1 cm and iron weights 8g/cm cube, then find the weight of the pipe.

  • 3.696 kg
  • 3.686 kg
  • 2.696 kg
  • 2.686 kg

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

In this type of question, we need to subtract external radius and internal radius to get the answer using the volume formula as the pipe is hollow. Oh! line become a bit complicated, sorry for that, lets solve it.

External radius = 4 cm
Internal radius = 3 cm [because thickness of pipe is 1 cm]

\begin{aligned}
\text{Volume of iron =}\pi r^2h\\
= \frac{22}{7}*[4^2 - 3^2]*21 cm^3\\
= \frac{22}{7}*1*21 cm^3\\
= 462 cm^3 \\
\end{aligned}
Weight of iron = 462*8 = 3696 gm
= 3.696 kg

  • 10000 cubes
  • 1000 cubes
  • 100 cubes
  • 50 cubes

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Number of cubes =}\frac{100*100*100}{10*10*10} \\
= 1000
\end{aligned}

Note: 1 m = 100 cm

2. How many bricks, each measuring 25cm*11.25cm*6cm, will be needed to build a wall 8m*6m*22.5m

  • 6100
  • 6200
  • 6300
  • 6400

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

To solve this type of question, simply divide the volume of wall with the volume of brick to get the numbers of required bricks
So lets solve this

Number of bricks =
\begin{aligned}
\frac{\text{Volume of wall}}{\text{Volume of 1 brick}} \\
= \frac{800*600*22.5}{25*11.25*6} \\
= 6400
\end{aligned}

3. There are bricks with 24 cm x 12 cm x 8 cm dimensions. Find the total number of bricks required to construct a wall 24 m long, 8 m high and 60 m thick with 10% of wall filled with mortar.

  • 35000
  • 40000
  • 45000
  • 50000

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

So as per question,
\begin{aligned}
\text{Volume of wall} = (2400 * 800 * 60 ) cm^3 \\
\text{Volume of bricks} = \text { 90% of volume of wall } \\
= [ \frac{90}{100} * 2400 * 800 * 60 ] cm^3 \\
\text{ Volume of 1 brick = } (24 * 12 * 8) cm^3 \\
\text{Number of Bricks required} \\
= \frac{ (\frac{90}{100}) * (2400 * 800 * 60)}{24 * 12 * 8} \\
= 45000
\end{aligned}

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

  • 1:4
  • 1:3
  • 1:2
  • 1:5

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}

5. If a right circular cone of height 24 cm has a volume of 1232 cm cube, then the area of its curved surface is :

  • \begin{aligned} 450 cm^2 \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} 550 cm^2 \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} 650 cm^2 \end{aligned}
  • \begin{aligned} 750 cm^2 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Volume is given, we can calculate the radius from it, then by calculating slant height, we can get curved surface area.
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{3}*\pi *r^2*h = 1232 \\
\frac{1}{3}*\frac{22}{7}*r^2*24 = 1232 \\
r^2 = \frac{1232*7*3}{22*24} = 49 \\
r = 7 \\
\text{Now, r = 7cm and h = 24 cm } \\
l = \sqrt{r^2+h^2} \\
= \sqrt{7^2+24^2} = 25cm \\
\text{Curved surface area =}\pi rl\\
= \frac{22}{7}*7*25 = 550 cm^2
\end{aligned}
