NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 - Surface Areas and Volumes (Exercise 12.3)

[Take π = 22/7, (Unless stated otherwise)]
Q 1. A metallic sphere of radius 4.2 cm is melted and recast into the shape of a cylinder of radius 6 cm. Find the height of the cylinder.
Sol. Radius of the sphere (r1) = 4.2 cm
∴ Volume of the sphere NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 - Surface Areas and Volumes (Exercise 12.3)
Radius of the cylinder (r2) = 6 cm
Let ‘h’ be the height of the cylinder
∴ Volume of the cylinder =NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 - Surface Areas and Volumes (Exercise 12.3)
Since, Volume of the metallic sphere = Volume of the cylinder.

Let the radius of the new big sphere be R.
∴ Volume of the new sphere
NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 - Surface Areas and Volumes (Exercise 12.3)
Since the two volumes must be equal.
NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 - Surface Areas and Volumes (Exercise 12.3)
NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 - Surface Areas and Volumes (Exercise 12.3)
⇒ R3 = 1728
⇒ R3 =23 × 23 × 33
⇒ R3 = (2 × 2 × 3)3
⇒ R = 2 × 2 × 3
⇒ R = 12 cm
Thus, the required radius of the resulting sphere = 12 cm.

Q 3. A 20 m deep well with a diameter 7 m is dug and the earth from digging is evenly spread out to form a platform 22 m by 14 m. Find the height of the platform.
Sol. Given, diameter of the well = 7m
⇒ Radius = 7/2m
and depth of the well = 20 m
Volume of the earth taken out from the well = πr2h
NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 - Surface Areas and Volumes (Exercise 12.3)
Earth is evenly spread on a platform 22 m by 14 m
Let the height of platform be h
∴ Volume of platform = 22 x 14 x h
According to the question,
Volume of the platform = Volume of the earth taken out from the well
⇒ 22 x 14 x h = π x 49 x 5
⇒ 22 x 14 x h = 22/7 x 49 x 5
NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 - Surface Areas and Volumes (Exercise 12.3)

Q 4. A well of diameter 3 m is dug 14 m deep. The earth taken out of it has been spread evenly all around it in the shape of a circular ring of width 4 m to form an embankment. Find the height of the embankment.
Sol. Diameter of cylindrical well (d) = 3 m
⇒ Radius of the cylindrical well (r) = 3/2 m = 1.5m
Depth of the well (h) = 14 m
NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 - Surface Areas and Volumes (Exercise 12.3)

NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 - Surface Areas and Volumes (Exercise 12.3)
Let the height of the embankment = ‘H’ meter
Internal radius of the embankment (r) = 1.5 m.
External radius of the embankment R = (4 + 1.5) m = 5.5 m.
∴ Volume of the embankment
= πR2H − πr2H = πH [R2 − r2] = πH (R + r) (R − r)
= 22/7 × H (5.5 + 1.5) (5.5 − 1.5) = 22/7 × H × 7 × 4 m3
Since, Volume of the embankment = Volume of the cylindrical well
NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 - Surface Areas and Volumes (Exercise 12.3)
Thus, the required height of the embankment = 1.125 m.

Q 5. A container shaped like a right circular cylinder having a diameter 12 cm and height 15 cm is full of ice cream. The ice cream is to be filled into cones of height 12 cm and diameter 6 cm, having a hemispherical shape on the top. Find the number of such cones which can be filled with ice cream.
Sol. For the circular cylinder:
Diameter = 12 cm ⇒ Radius = 12/2 =  6 cm
Height (h) = 15 cm
∴ Volume = πr2h
⇒ Volume of total ice cream = 22/7 × 6 × 6 × 15 cm3
For conical + hemispherical ice-cream cone:
Diameter = 6 cm ⇒ radius (R) = 3 cm
Height of ice cream cone (H) = 12 cm
Volume = (Volume of the conical part) + (Volume of the hemispherical part)
NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 - Surface Areas and Volumes (Exercise 12.3)
Let number of ice-cream cone required to fill the total ice cream = n.
NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 - Surface Areas and Volumes (Exercise 12.3)
Thus, the required number of cones is 10.

Q 6. How many silver coins, 1.75 cm in diameter and of thickness 2 mm, must be melted to form a cuboid of dimensions 5.5 cm × 10 cm × 3.5 cm?
Sol. For a circular coin:
Diameter = 1.75 cm

NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 - Surface Areas and Volumes (Exercise 12.3)   |∵ A coin is like a cylinder
For a cuboid:
Length (l) = 10 cm, Breadth (b) = 5.5 cm
and Height (h) = 3.5 cm
NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 - Surface Areas and Volumes (Exercise 12.3)
Number of coins
Let the number of coins need to melt be ‘n’
NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 - Surface Areas and Volumes (Exercise 12.3)
Thus, the required number of coins = 400.

Q 7. A cylindrical bucket, 32 cm high and with radius of base 18 cm, is filled with sand. This bucket is emptied on the ground and a conical heap of sand is formed. If the height of the conical heap is 24 cm, find the radius and slant height of the heap.

Radius (r) = 18 cm
Height (h) = 32 cm
Volume = πr2h
NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 - Surface Areas and Volumes (Exercise 12.3)

⇒ Volume of the sand = NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 - Surface Areas and Volumes (Exercise 12.3)

For the conical heap:
Height (H) = 24 cm
Let radius of the base be (R).

∴ l2 = R2 + H2
⇒ l2 =242 + 362
⇒ l2 = (12 × 2)2 + (12 × 3)2
⇒ l2 =122 [22 + 32]
⇒ l2 =122 × 13
