The volume of the largest right circular cone that can be cut out from a cube of edge 4.2 cm is 19.404 cm^3.


Edge of the cube = 4.2 cm

i.e 2r = 4.2

r = 4.2/2 = 2.1 cm

h = 4.2 cm

Volume of the cone = 1/3 * pi * r^2 * h

=> 1/3 * 22/7 * 2.1 * 2.1 * 4.2

=> 19.404 cm^3

Hence, the volume of the largest right circular cone that can be cut out from a cube of edge 4.2 cm is 19.404 cm^3.

  • b)
    5100 cm3
  • c)
    5400 cm3
  • d)
    5425.92 cm3
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Meghana shah answered
To find the capacity of the container, we need to calculate the volume of the hemispherical bowl and the volume of the cylinder separately, and then add them together.

Given:
Diameter of the sphere = 24 cm
Total height of the container = 16 cm

**Calculating the Volume of the Hemispherical Bowl:**

The radius of the sphere (r) can be calculated by dividing the diameter by 2.
r = 24 cm / 2 = 12 cm

The volume of a hemisphere is given by the formula:
V_hemisphere = (2/3) * π * r^3

Substituting the value of r, we get:
V_hemisphere = (2/3) * π * 12^3

Calculating this value, we find:
V_hemisphere ≈ 3617.92 cm^3

**Calculating the Volume of the Cylinder:**

The height of the cylinder can be calculated by subtracting the radius of the sphere from the total height of the container.
Height of the cylinder = Total height of the container - Radius of the sphere
Height of the cylinder = 16 cm - 12 cm = 4 cm

The radius of the cylinder is the same as the radius of the sphere, which is 12 cm.

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula:
V_cylinder = π * r^2 * h

Substituting the values of r and h, we get:
V_cylinder = π * 12^2 * 4

Calculating this value, we find:
V_cylinder ≈ 1809.28 cm^3

**Calculating the Total Capacity:**

The total capacity of the container is the sum of the volume of the hemisphere and the volume of the cylinder.
Total capacity = V_hemisphere + V_cylinder
Total capacity ≈ 3617.92 cm^3 + 1809.28 cm^3

Calculating this value, we find:
Total capacity ≈ 5427.20 cm^3

Rounding off to two decimal places, we get:
Total capacity ≈ 5425.92 cm^3

Therefore, the correct answer is option D) 5425.92 cm^3.

Nandini jain answered
**Given**
- A cylinder, a cone, and a hemisphere have equal base and height.

**To Find**
- The ratio of their volumes.

**Solution**
Let's assume the height and base radius of each shape to be 'h' and 'r', respectively.

**Volume of a Cylinder**
The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula:
Vcylinder = πr^2h

**Volume of a Cone**
The volume of a cone is given by the formula:
Vcone = (1/3)πr^2h

**Volume of a Hemisphere**
The volume of a hemisphere is given by the formula:
Vhemisphere = (2/3)πr^3

**Given Conditions**
- The base radius and height of the cylinder, cone, and hemisphere are equal.
- So, r = h for all three shapes.

**Substituting Values**
Substituting r = h in the volume formulas for each shape, we get:
Vcylinder = πr^2h = πh^2h = πh^3
Vcone = (1/3)πr^2h = (1/3)πh^2h = (1/3)πh^3
Vhemisphere = (2/3)πr^3 = (2/3)πh^3

**Comparing Volumes**
The ratio of the volumes of the cylinder, cone, and hemisphere can be found by dividing each volume by the volume of the cylinder (since the cylinder has the largest volume):
Ratio = (Vcylinder : Vcone : Vhemisphere) / Vcylinder
= (πh^3 : (1/3)πh^3 : (2/3)πh^3) / πh^3
= 1 : (1/3) : (2/3)
= 3 : 1 : 2

Therefore, the ratio of their volumes is 3 : 1 : 2. The correct answer is option 'C'.

    200 cm3
  • b)
    600 cm3
  • c)
    550 cm3
  • d)
    616 cm3

Rajeev Chavan answered
Given:
Radius of cylindrical tub, r = 5 cm
Length of cylindrical tub, l = 9.8 cm
Radius of hemisphere, R = 3.5 cm
Height of cone outside the hemisphere, h = 5 cm

To find: Volume of the water left in the tub

Approach:
First, we find the total volume of the cylindrical tub.
Then, we find the volume of the solid (cone mounted on a hemisphere) that is immersed in the tub.
Finally, we subtract the volume of the solid from the total volume of the tub to get the volume of the water left in the tub.

Calculation:

1. Volume of the cylindrical tub
Given,
Radius of the cylindrical tub, r = 5 cm
Length of the cylindrical tub, l = 9.8 cm

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:
V_cylinder = πr^2l

Substituting the given values, we get:
V_cylinder = π(5)^2(9.8) = 245π cm^3

2. Volume of the solid (cone mounted on a hemisphere)
Given,
Radius of hemisphere, R = 3.5 cm
Height of cone outside the hemisphere, h = 5 cm

The solid consists of a cone mounted on a hemisphere. We can find the volume of the solid by adding the volumes of the cone and the hemisphere.

The formula for the volume of a cone is:
V_cone = 1/3πr^2h

Substituting the given values, we get:
V_cone = 1/3π(3.5)^2(5) = 61.25π/3 cm^3

The formula for the volume of a hemisphere is:
V_hemisphere = 2/3πR^3

Substituting the given values, we get:
V_hemisphere = 2/3π(3.5)^3 = 42.875π/3 cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the solid is:
V_solid = V_cone + V_hemisphere = 61.25π/3 + 42.875π/3 = 104.125π/3 cm^3

3. Volume of the water left in the tub
The volume of the water left in the tub is the total volume of the cylindrical tub minus the volume of the solid that is immersed in the tub.

V_water = V_cylinder - V_solid
V_water = 245π - 104.125π/3
V_water = 735/3π - 104.125/3π
V_water = (735 - 104.125)/3π
V_water = 216.875/3π cm^3
V_water = 216.875/3 × 3.14
V_water = 616.06 cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the water left in the tub is 616.06 cm^3 (approximately).

Hence, the correct option is (d) 616 cm^3.

    A is true but R is false.
  • d)

Gopal Saha answered
A: A solid iron is in the form of a cuboid of dimensions 49 cm × 33 cm × 24 cm is melted to form a solid sphere. Then the radius of sphere will be 21 cm.

R: Volume of cylinder = πr2h, r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder.

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the volume of the cuboid and the volume of the sphere and then compare them.

Volume of the cuboid:
Given dimensions of the cuboid are 49 cm × 33 cm × 24 cm.
Volume of cuboid = length × breadth × height
= 49 cm × 33 cm × 24 cm
= 38712 cm³

Volume of the sphere:
Let the radius of the sphere be 'R'.
Volume of sphere = (4/3)πR³

According to the given information, the solid iron is melted to form a solid sphere. This means that the volume of the sphere will be equal to the volume of the cuboid.

Therefore,
(4/3)πR³ = 38712 cm³

Now, we can solve this equation to find the value of 'R' (radius of the sphere).

Solving the equation:
(4/3)πR³ = 38712 cm³
R³ = (38712 cm³ × 3) / (4π)
R³ = 29034 cm³
R = ∛(29034 cm³)
R ≈ 31.11 cm

The radius of the sphere is approximately 31.11 cm, which is not equal to 21 cm. Therefore, the given statement of assertion is false.

Conclusion:
The statement of reason is correct as it provides the formula to calculate the volume of the cylinder. However, the statement of assertion is false as the radius of the sphere is not 21 cm, but approximately 31.11 cm. Hence, option B is the correct answer.

A cylinder whose height is two thirds of its diameter has the same volume as a sphere of radius 4 cm. The radius of the base of the cylinder will be​
  • a)
    4 cm
  • b)
    2 cm
  • c)
    5 cm
  • d)
    8 cm
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Animesh shah answered
To solve this problem, we can use the formulas for the volume of a cylinder and the volume of a sphere. Let's break down the solution into steps:

Given information:
- The height of the cylinder is two-thirds of its diameter
- The volume of the cylinder is equal to the volume of a sphere with a radius of 4 cm

Step 1: Calculate the volume of the sphere
The formula for the volume of a sphere is V = (4/3)πr^3, where r is the radius. Since the radius of the sphere is given as 4 cm, we can substitute this value into the formula:
V_sphere = (4/3)π(4^3)
V_sphere = (4/3)π(64)
V_sphere = (4/3)(3.14)(64)
V_sphere ≈ 268.08 cm^3

Step 2: Set up the equation for the volume of the cylinder
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height. We are given that the height of the cylinder is two-thirds of its diameter. Since the diameter is twice the radius, we can write the height as h = (2/3)(2r) = (4/3)r. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
V_cylinder = πr^2(4/3)r
V_cylinder = (4/3)πr^3

Step 3: Equate the volumes of the cylinder and the sphere
Since the volume of the cylinder is equal to the volume of the sphere, we can set up the equation:
(4/3)πr^3 = 268.08
Dividing both sides by (4/3)π, we get:
r^3 = 268.08 / (4/3)π
r^3 = 201.06 / π
Taking the cube root of both sides, we find:
r = (201.06/π)^(1/3)
r ≈ 4 cm

Therefore, the radius of the base of the cylinder is approximately 4 cm, which corresponds to option A.

Vaibhav Roy answered
Explanation:
The shuttlecock used in playing badminton has a unique shape that helps it to move swiftly through the air. The shape of a shuttlecock is the combination of two 3D shapes - a frustum of a cone and a hemisphere.

Frustum of a Cone: The top part of the shuttlecock is shaped like the frustum of a cone. A frustum of a cone is a 3D shape that is formed when the top part of a cone is cut off parallel to the base. The frustum of a cone has two circular bases, one larger than the other, and a curved surface.

Hemisphere: The bottom part of the shuttlecock is shaped like a hemisphere. A hemisphere is a 3D shape that is formed when a sphere is cut in half. A hemisphere has a curved surface and a circular base.

Combination of Frustum of a Cone and Hemisphere: The shuttlecock is made by joining the frustum of a cone and hemisphere at their circular bases. The frustum of a cone forms the top part of the shuttlecock, while the hemisphere forms the bottom part.

The frustum of a cone and hemisphere are combined to create the unique shape of the shuttlecock. This shape helps the shuttlecock to move swiftly through the air and change direction easily, making it perfect for playing badminton.

During conversion of a solid from one shape to another, the volume of the new shape will
  • a)
    increase
  • b)
    decrease
  • c)
    remain unaltered
  • d)
    be doubled
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Introduction:
When a solid undergoes a shape transformation, such as stretching, bending, or compressing, the volume of the new shape can change. This change in volume depends on the nature of the transformation and the properties of the material.

Explanation:
The volume of a solid is a measure of the amount of space it occupies. It is calculated by multiplying the area of the base of the solid by its height. When a solid undergoes a shape transformation, the base and height of the solid may change, resulting in a change in volume.

Example:
Let's consider the example of a cylindrical solid being transformed into a cone. The cylindrical solid has a circular base and a constant height. As the shape transforms into a cone, the base of the solid changes from a circle to a smaller circle, while the height remains the same.

Effect on volume:
When the base of the solid changes, the area of the base also changes. Since the volume of a solid is directly proportional to the base area, any change in the base area will result in a change in volume.

In this specific example, as the cylindrical solid transforms into a cone, the base area decreases since the radius of the base decreases. However, the height remains the same. As a result, the volume of the cone will be less than the volume of the cylindrical solid.

Conclusion:
In general, during the conversion of a solid from one shape to another, the volume of the new shape can either increase or decrease depending on the specific transformation. However, in some cases, such as when the height remains constant and only the base area changes, the volume of the new shape will remain unaltered. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' - the volume will remain unaltered.

Naveen Gupta answered
Ratio of Radii:
Let the radii of the two cylinders be 2x and 3x.

Ratio of Heights:
Let the heights of the two cylinders be 5y and 4y.

Volume of a Cylinder:
The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Finding the Volumes:
The volume of the first cylinder with radius 2x and height 5y is V₁ = π(2x)²(5y) = 20πx²y.
The volume of the second cylinder with radius 3x and height 4y is V₂ = π(3x)²(4y) = 36πx²y.

Ratio of Volumes:
The ratio of the volumes of the two cylinders is given by V₁ : V₂.
Substituting the values, we get V₁ : V₂ = 20πx²y : 36πx²y.
Simplifying, we get V₁ : V₂ = 5x²y : 9x²y.
Dividing both sides by x²y, we get V₁ : V₂ = 5 : 9.

Therefore, the ratio of the volumes of the two cylinders is 5 : 9, which corresponds to option C.
