Q7: A cubical block of the side 7 cm is surmounted with a hemisphere. What is the greatest diameter the hemisphere could have? Find out the surface area of the solid. (2 Marks)

Q8: Two cones have their heights in the ratio of 1 : 3 as well as radii in the ratio of 3: 1. What is the ratio for their volumes? (2 Marks)

Q9: Water is flowing at the rate of 15 km/h passing through a pipe of the diameter of 14 cm into a cuboidal pond which is 50 m long and 44 m wide. At what time will the level for the water in the pond rise by 21 cm? (3 Marks)

Q10: A heap of rice is in the form for the cone of diameter of 9 m and height of 3.5 m. Find out the volume of the rice. How much canvas cloth is required to cover the heap only? (3 Marks)

Q11: Rasheed gets a playing top (lattu) as his birthday present, in which, surprisingly, he found no colour on it. He wanted to colour it with his crayons. The top is shaped as like a cone surmounted with a hemisphere. The entire top of 5 cm in height, as well as the diameter of the top, is 3.5 cm. Find out the area he has to colour. (Take π = 22/7) (3 Marks)
