Question Detail

If the volume of two cubes are in the ratio 27:1, the ratio of their edges is:

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the edges be a and b of two cubes, then

\begin{aligned}
\frac{a^3}{b^3} = \frac{27}{1} \\
=> \left( \frac{a}{b} \right)^3 = \left( \frac{3}{1} \right)^3 \\
\frac{a}{b}=\frac{3}{1} \\
=> a:b = 3:1
\end{aligned}

1. The curved surface of a right circular cone of height 15 cm and base diameter 16 cm is:

\begin{aligned} 116 \pi cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 122 \pi cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 124 \pi cm^2 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 136 \pi cm^2 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
\text{Curved surface area of cone=}\pi rl\\
l = \sqrt{r^2+h^2} \\
l = \sqrt{8^2+15^2} = 17cm \\

\text{Curved surface area =}\pi rl\\
= \pi *8*17 = 136 \pi cm^2
\end{aligned}

2. 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}

3. The perimeter of one face of a cube is 20 cm. Its volume will be:

\begin{aligned} 125 cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 400 cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 250 cm^3 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 625 cm^3 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Edge of cude = 20/4 = 5 cm

Volume = a*a*a = 5*5*5 = 125 cm cube

4. How many cubes of 10 cm edge can be put in a cubical box of 1 m edge.

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

5. Two right circular cylinders of equal volumes have their heights in the ratio 1:2. Find the ratio of their radii.

\begin{aligned} \sqrt{3}:1 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \sqrt{7}:1 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \sqrt{2}:1 \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 2:1 \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let their heights be h and 2h and radii be r and R respectively then.

\begin{aligned}
\pi r^2h = \pi R^2(2h) \\
=> \frac{r^2}{R^2} = \frac{2h}{h} \\
= \frac{2}{1} \\
=> \frac{r}{R} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{1} \\
=> r:R = \sqrt{2}:1 \\
\end{aligned}
