Question Detail

The cost of the paint is Rs. 36.50 per kg. If 1 kg of paint covers 16 square feet, how much will it cost to paint outside of a cube having 8 feet each side.

Rs. 850
Rs. 860
Rs. 876
Rs. 886

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

We will first calculate the Surface area of cube, then we will calculate the quantity of paint required to get answer.
Here we go,

\begin{aligned}
\text{Surface area =}6a^2 \\
= 6 * 8^2 = 384 \text{sq feet} \\
\text{Quantity required =}\frac{384}{16} \\
= 24 kg\\
\text{Cost of painting =} 36.50*24 \\
= Rs. 876
\end{aligned}

1. A cone of height 9 cm with diameter of its base 18 cm is carved out from a wooden solid sphere of radius 9 cm. The percentage of the wood wasted is :

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We will first subtract the cone volume from wood volume to get the wood wasted.
Then we can calculate its percentage.

\begin{aligned}
\text{Sphere Volume =}\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \\
\text{Cone Volume =}\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h\\

\text{Volume of wood wasted =}\\
\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi *9*9*9\right)-\left(\frac{1}{3}\pi *9*9*9\right) \\
= \pi *9*9*9 cm^3 \\
\text{Required Percentage =} \\
\frac{\pi *9*9*9}{\frac{4}{3}\pi *9*9*9}*100 \% \\
= \frac{3}{4}*100 \% \\
= 75\%
\end{aligned}

2. 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}

3. 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}

4. The maximum length of a pencil that can he kept is a rectangular box of dimensions 8 cm x 6 cm x 2 cm, is

\begin{aligned} 2\sqrt{17} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 2\sqrt{16} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 2\sqrt{26} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} 2\sqrt{24} \end{aligned}

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

In this question we need to calculate the diagonal of cuboid,
which is =
\begin{aligned}
\sqrt{l^2+b^2+h^2} \\
= \sqrt{8^2+6^2+2^2} \\
= \sqrt{104} \\
= 2\sqrt{26}
\end{aligned}

5. 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
