Question Detail

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.

1. The slant height of a conical mountain is 2.5 km and the area of its base is 1.54 km square. The height of mountain is :

2.3 km
2.4 km
2.5 km
2.6 km

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the radius of the base be r km. Then,
\begin{aligned}
\pi r^2 = 1.54 \\
r^2 = \frac{1.54*7}{22} = 0.49\\
= 0.7 km \\
\text{Now l=2.5 km, r = 0.7 km} \\
h = \sqrt{2.5^2 - 0.7^2} km \\
=\sqrt{6.25 - 0.49}\\
=\sqrt{5.76} km \\
= 2.4 km
\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. 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

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. 66 cubic centimetres of silver is drawn into a wire 1 mm in diameter. The length if the wire in meters will be:

76 m
80 m
84 m
88 m

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the length of the wire be h
\begin{aligned}
Radius = \frac{1}{2}mm = \frac{1}{20}cm\\
\pi r^2h = 66 \\
\frac{22}{7}*\frac{1}{20}*\frac{1}{20}*h = 66 \\
=> h = \frac{66*20*20*7}{22} \\
= 8400 cm \\
= 84 m
\end{aligned}
