Understanding the Problem
To find the volume of the cone formed by revolving one of the triangles, we first need to analyze the shape and dimensions of the triangles.
Step 1: Triangle Dimensions
- The square has a side length of 1 unit.
- Cutting it along the main diagonal divides the square into two right-angled triangles.
- Each triangle has a base and height of 1 unit.
Step 2: Selecting the Triangle
- We can choose either of the two triangles; the result will be the same.
- For the purpose of this explanation, let's select the triangle with vertices at (0, 0), (1, 0), and (0, 1).
Step 3: Revolving the Triangle
- When we revolve this triangle about its short edge (the edge along the y-axis, from (0, 0) to (0, 1)), we create a cone.
- The height of the cone is the length of the edge we are revolving around, which is 1 unit.
- The radius of the cone is the length of the base of the triangle, which is also 1 unit.
Step 4: Volume of the Cone
- The formula for the volume of a cone is given by:
Volume = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h
- Substituting the values:
- r = 1 unit (radius)
- h = 1 unit (height)
- Thus, the volume becomes:
Volume = (1/3) * π * (1^2) * 1 = (1/3) * π = π/3 cubic units.
Final Answer
The volume of the resulting cone is π/3 cubic units, which corresponds to option 'A'.

Given:
Two rectangular sheets M and N have the dimension 6 cm × 1 cm each, in which cylinder will be formed by bringing the short edges of the sheet together. Given that ends of the cylinder are closed.
Concept:
Volume of cylinder = π x r2 x h
The volume of the cube = a3
The volume of the cube = a3
Calculation:
Let be assume the side of the cube is a,
⇒ The area of the sheet N = 6 x a2
⇒ 6 × 1 = 6 x a2
⇒ a = 1
⇒ Volume of the cube = a3 = 13 = 1
⇒ The circumference = 6
⇒ 2 × π × r = 6, r = 3/π and height of the cylinder = 1 cm
⇒ Volume of the cylinder = π x (3/π)2 x 1 = 9/π
⇒ The required ratio = 9/π : 1
∴ The required result will be 9/π .
⇒ The area of the sheet N = 6 x a2
⇒ 6 × 1 = 6 x a2
⇒ a = 1
⇒ Volume of the cube = a3 = 13 = 1
⇒ The circumference = 6
⇒ 2 × π × r = 6, r = 3/π and height of the cylinder = 1 cm
⇒ Volume of the cylinder = π x (3/π)2 x 1 = 9/π
⇒ The required ratio = 9/π : 1
∴ The required result will be 9/π .

For symmetry we have to add some squares
After combining the obtained figure we get
Hence for making the P-Q line symmetry 6 squares must be added

Concept:
Area of an equilateral triangle
where a = side of the triangle.
where a = side of the triangle.
Calculation:
Given:
Let the side of the large triangle is 'a' then the side of the regular hexagon is a/3
If each triangle's area
then the area of regular hexagon
If each triangle's area
then the area of regular hexagon
∴ The ratio of the area of the regular convex hexagon to the area of the original equilateral triangle is 2/3

The Dark Shaded edge is perpendicular to a given line and the Light shaded edge is parallel to the given line so it can be assumed that option 4 is correct but there is no sign of + represented anywhere in the Question.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

option 1:
The above-given image will not be able to produce
The above-given image will be able to produce
The above-given image will not be able to produce
The above-given image will be able to produce
as three triangles will make the bottom part whereas the remaining two will make the above part.
Option 3:
The above-given image will not be able to produce
as there is no scope for trapezium to fit in it.
Option 4:
The above-given image will not be able to produce
as one more triangle is required.
as one more triangle is required.
Thus option 2 is the correct answer here.

let us consider a square sheet of side 1 unit.
Now fold the sheet along the main diagonal.
Now fold this along their line of symmetry.
again fold this along their line of symmetry.
The side of the resulting shape = 1/2 unit
Area of resultant shape = 1/2 x side2
Area of resultant shape = 1/2 x side2
Area of resultant shape= 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2
Area of resultant shape = 1/8
