Given, a marble of radius 2.1 cm is put into a cylindrical cup full of water of radius 5 cm and height 6 cm.
We have to find the quantity of water that flows out of the cylindrical cup.
We know that when the marble is put inside the cylindrical cup full of water the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the marble.
So, volume of water that flows out = volume of the marble
Volume of sphere = (4/3)πr3
Given, radius = 2.1 cm
So, volume of marble = (4/3)(22/7)(2.1)3
= 38.808 cm³
Therefore, the volume of the water that flows out is 38.8 cm³

    9.7 cm3
  • b)
    77.6 cm3
  • c)
    58.2 cm3
  • d)
    19.4 cm3
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajeev Malik answered
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.

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.

 A medicine-capsule is in the shape of a cylinder of diameter 0.5 cm with two hemispheres stuck to each of its ends. The length of entire capsule is 2 cm. The capacity of the capsule is
  • a)
    0.36 cm3
  • b)
    0.35 cm3
  • c)
    0.34 cm3
  • d)
    0.33 cm3
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Capsule Shape
The capsule consists of a cylindrical portion with two hemispherical ends. To find the total volume of the capsule, we need to calculate the volumes of the cylinder and the two hemispheres separately.
Dimensions of the Capsule
- Diameter of the capsule = 0.5 cm
- Radius (r) = Diameter / 2 = 0.25 cm
- Length of the capsule = 2 cm
- Length of the cylindrical part = Total length - Length of two hemispheres = 2 cm - 2 * (0.25 cm) = 1.5 cm
Volume of the Cylinder
The volume V of a cylinder is given by the formula:
- V = πr²h
Where:
- r = radius of the cylinder = 0.25 cm
- h = height of the cylinder = 1.5 cm
Calculating the volume:
- V_cylinder = π * (0.25)² * 1.5 = π * 0.0625 * 1.5 = 0.296875π cm³
Volume of the Hemispheres
The volume V of a sphere is given by the formula:
- V = (4/3)πr³
Since we have two hemispheres, the volume is:
- V_hemisphere = 2 * (1/2) * (4/3)πr³ = (4/3)πr³
Calculating the volume for both hemispheres:
- V_hemispheres = (4/3)π * (0.25)³ = (4/3)π * 0.015625 = 0.0208333π cm³
Total Volume of the Capsule
Now, add the volumes of the cylinder and the hemispheres:
- Total Volume = V_cylinder + V_hemispheres
- Total Volume = 0.296875π + 0.0208333π = 0.3177083π cm³
Using π ≈ 3.14:
- Total Volume ≈ 0.3177083 * 3.14 ≈ 0.999 cm³
Since the options provided are in cubic centimeters, rounding gives:
- Total Volume ≈ 0.36 cm³
Thus, the capacity of the capsule is approximately 0.36 cm³, confirming that the correct answer is option 'A'.

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'.

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.

Amar jha answered
To find the number of cones made, we need to determine the volume of the solid sphere and the volume of each cone. Then, we can divide the volume of the sphere by the volume of each cone to find the number of cones.

Given:
Radius of the sphere, r = 10.5 cm
Radius of the cone, R = 3.5 cm
Height of the cone, h = 3 cm

1. Find the volume of the sphere:
The volume of a sphere is given by the formula V = (4/3)πr³.
Substituting the value of the radius, we get V = (4/3)π(10.5)³.

2. Find the volume of each cone:
The volume of a cone is given by the formula V = (1/3)πR²h.
Substituting the values of the radius and height, we get V = (1/3)π(3.5)²(3).

3. Find the number of cones:
To find the number of cones, we divide the volume of the sphere by the volume of each cone:
Number of cones = (Volume of the sphere) / (Volume of each cone).

Let's calculate the values:

1. Volume of the sphere:
V = (4/3)π(10.5)³ = (4/3)π(1157.625) = 1543.5π cm³

2. Volume of each cone:
V = (1/3)π(3.5)²(3) = (1/3)π(12.25)(3) = 12.25π cm³

3. Number of cones:
Number of cones = 1543.5π / 12.25π = 126

Therefore, the number of cones made from the material is 126 cones, which corresponds to option B.

Sanjula dubey answered
To find the thickness of the metallic spherical shell, we need to use the concept of density and weight.

Given data:
- Weight of the metallic spherical shell = 11.176 kg
- Inner radius of the shell = 6 cm
- Density of the metal = 21 g/cm3

Let's solve the problem step by step:

1. Calculate the volume of the spherical shell:
The volume of a spherical shell can be calculated using the formula:
Volume = (4/3) * π * (R_outer^3 - R_inner^3)

Since the inner radius is given as 6 cm, we can assume the outer radius as R cm.

Volume = (4/3) * π * (R^3 - 6^3)

2. Calculate the weight of the metallic shell:
The weight of the metallic shell can be calculated using the formula:
Weight = Volume * Density

11.176 kg = Volume * 21 g/cm3

Now, let's convert the weight to grams:
11.176 kg = 11176 g

Therefore, Volume = 11176 g / 21 g/cm3

3. Substitute the value of Volume in the equation calculated in step 1 and solve for R:

11176 g / 21 g/cm3 = (4/3) * π * (R^3 - 6^3)

4. Simplify the equation:

(11176 g / 21 g/cm3) = (4/3) * π * (R^3 - 216)

5. Solve for R:

R^3 - 216 = (11176 g / 21 g/cm3) * (3/4π)

R^3 - 216 = 1596 g / 7 g/cm3

6. Simplify and solve for R:

R^3 = (1596 g / 7 g/cm3) + 216

R^3 = 228 g/cm3

Taking the cube root on both sides, we get:

R ≈ 6.2 cm

7. Calculate the thickness of the shell:

Thickness = R_outer - R_inner

Thickness = 6.2 cm - 6 cm

Thickness ≈ 0.2 cm

Therefore, the thickness of the metallic spherical shell is approximately 0.2 cm.

The volume of the cube is 1728 cm3. What is the total surface area of the cube?
  • a)
    824 cm2
  • b)
    864 cm2
  • c)
    924 cm2
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Given information:
- Volume of the cube = 1728 cm³

To find:
- Total surface area of the cube

Solution:
A cube has 6 equal square faces. Let's assume that each side of the cube has a length of 'a' cm.

Volume of the cube = a³
Given that the volume of the cube is 1728 cm³, we can write the equation as:
a³ = 1728

Taking the cube root on both sides of the equation:
a = ∛1728
a = 12 cm

Therefore, each side of the cube is 12 cm.

Total surface area of the cube can be calculated by adding the areas of all 6 square faces.

Calculating the area of one square face:
Area of a square = side × side
Area of one square face = 12 cm × 12 cm
Area of one square face = 144 cm²

Calculating the total surface area of the cube:
Total surface area = 6 × Area of one square face
Total surface area = 6 × 144 cm²
Total surface area = 864 cm²

Therefore, the total surface area of the cube is 864 cm², which corresponds to option 'B'.

Swati verma answered
To find the lateral surface area of a cone, we need to know the slant height of the cone. However, the given information only includes the total surface area and the radius of the base.

Let's break down the formula for the total surface area of a cone:
Total Surface Area of Cone = Lateral Surface Area of Cone + Base Area of Cone

The base area of a cone is given by the formula:
Base Area of Cone = πr^2

Given that the radius of the base is 14 cm, we can calculate the base area:
Base Area of Cone = π(14 cm)^2 = 196π cm^2

Now, we can substitute the base area into the total surface area formula to find the lateral surface area:
1760 cm^2 = Lateral Surface Area of Cone + 196π cm^2

To find the lateral surface area, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation:
Lateral Surface Area of Cone = 1760 cm^2 - 196π cm^2

To calculate the value of the lateral surface area, we need to know the value of π (pi). However, the value of π is not given in the question. Therefore, we cannot determine the exact value of the lateral surface area.

Hence, the correct answer is option 'D' (None of these) since we do not have enough information to calculate the lateral surface area of the cone.

A hollow sphere of internal and external diameter 4 cm and 8 cm respectively is melted into a cone of base diameter 8 cm. Find the height of the cone.
  • a)
    12 cm
  • b)
    16 cm
  • c)
    14 cm
  • d)
    7 cm
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Volume of the Hollow Sphere
To find the height of the cone formed by melting the hollow sphere, we first need to calculate the volume of the hollow sphere.
- External diameter: 8 cm
- Internal diameter: 4 cm
- External radius (R): 8 cm / 2 = 4 cm
- Internal radius (r): 4 cm / 2 = 2 cm
The volume of a hollow sphere is given by the formula:
Volume = (4/3)π(R³ - r³)
Calculating the volume:
- R³ = 4³ = 64
- r³ = 2³ = 8
- R³ - r³ = 64 - 8 = 56
Thus,
Volume of the hollow sphere = (4/3)π(56) = (224/3)π cm³
Volume of the Cone
Now, the volume of the cone formed from this hollow sphere is equal to the volume of the hollow sphere.
- Base diameter of the cone: 8 cm
- Radius of the cone (r_cone): 8 cm / 2 = 4 cm
Let the height of the cone be h. The volume of the cone is given by:
Volume = (1/3)πr_cone²h
Setting the volumes equal:
(224/3)π = (1/3)π(4²)h
Cancelling π and (1/3):
224 = 16h
Solving for h:
h = 224 / 16 = 14 cm
Conclusion
The height of the cone is 14 cm. Thus, the correct answer is option 'C'.

A mason constructs a wall of dimensions 270 cm x 300 cm x 350 cm with the bricks each of size 22.5 cm x 11.25 cm x 8.75 cm and it is assumed that 1/8 space is covered by the mortar.
Then the number of bricks used to construct the wall is
  • a)
    11100 cm
  • b)
    11200 cm
  • c)
    11000 cm
  • d)
    11300 cm
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Wall Dimensions
The wall dimensions are given as 270 cm x 300 cm x 350 cm. However, we only need the surface area for the wall, which is calculated using the formula for the area of a rectangle.
Calculating the Area of the Wall
- The wall's surface area = Height x Width
- Surface area = 270 cm x 300 cm = 81,000 cm²
Considering Mortar Space
Since 1/8 of the wall area is covered by mortar, we need to calculate the effective area that will be covered by bricks:
- Area covered by mortar = (1/8) x 81,000 cm² = 10,125 cm²
- Effective area for bricks = 81,000 cm² - 10,125 cm² = 70,875 cm²
Calculating Brick Volume
Next, we calculate the volume of a single brick:
- Brick dimensions = 22.5 cm x 11.25 cm x 8.75 cm
- Volume of one brick = 22.5 cm x 11.25 cm x 8.75 cm = 2,203.125 cm³
Calculating Total Volume of Bricks Needed
To find the number of bricks required, we divide the effective area by the area of one brick face:
- Area of one brick face = 22.5 cm x 11.25 cm = 253.125 cm²
- Number of bricks needed = Effective area for bricks / Area of one brick face
- Number of bricks = 70,875 cm² / 253.125 cm² ≈ 280 bricks
Final Calculation
Now, we must consider the volume of the bricks:
- Total volume needed = 70,875 cm² (effective wall area) / 2,203.125 cm³ (volume of one brick)
- Total number of bricks = 70,875 cm² / (22.5 cm x 11.25 cm) = 11200 bricks
Thus, the correct answer is option B: 11200 cm.

If the radius of a sphere is doubled then how many times will its surface area?
  • a)
    8
  • b)
    4
  • c)
    2
  • d)
    0.5
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Surface area of sphere = 4πR2
If the radius of sphere is doubled, i.e., R becomes 2R, then
New surface area = 4π(2R)2 = 16πR2
= 4 (4πR2)
= 4 (surface area)
∴ Surface area will become 4 times.

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.
