Answers:
- Solution:

False. TSA of hemisphere = \(3\pi r^2\) - Solution:
Volume = \(\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h \Rightarrow 2464\)
\(= \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14^2 \times h \Rightarrow h \)
\(= 12 \, \text{cm}\) - Solution:
Ratio = \(\frac{4\pi (10)^2}{4\pi (20)^2} = \frac{1}{4}\) - Solution:
Outer radius = \(2.1 + 0.005 = 2.105 \, \text{m}\)
Volume of steel = \(\frac{2}{3}\pi (2.105^3 – 2.1^3) \approx 0.139 \, \text{m}^3\) - Solution:
Volume of sphere = \(\frac{4}{3}\pi (6)^3 = 288\pi \, \text{cm}^3\)
Volume of one cone = \(\frac{1}{3}\pi (2)^2 \times 3 = 4\pi\)
Number of cones = \(288\pi / 4\pi = 72\) - Solution:
Volume = \(\frac{4}{3}\pi (3.5)^3 = 179.67 \, \text{cm}^3\) - Solution:
Volume = \(\frac{2}{3}\pi (14)^3 = 11498.67 \, \text{cm}^3 = 11.498 \, \text{liters}\) - Solution:
CSA of tent = \( \pi r l = \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 25 = 550 \, \text{m}^2 \)
Cost = \(550 \times 50 = ₹27,500\) - Solution:
\(4\pi r^2 = 616 \Rightarrow r^2 = 49 \Rightarrow r = 7 \, \text{cm}\) - Solution:
Volume of sphere = \(\frac{4}{3}\pi (3.5)^3 = 179.67 \, \text{m}^3\)
Let water rise = \(h\)
Then, \(\pi (7)^2 h = 179.67 \Rightarrow h = 1.16 \, \text{m}\) - Solution:
Volume = \(\frac{1}{3}\pi (3)^2 \times 4 = 12\pi \, \text{cm}^3 = 37.71 \, \text{cm}^3\) - Solution:
\( \pi r l = 220 \Rightarrow \frac{22}{7} \times r \times 10 = 220 \Rightarrow r = 7 \, \text{cm} \) - Solution:
TSA = \(3\pi r^2 = 462 \Rightarrow r = 7 \, \text{cm}\)
Volume = \(\frac{2}{3}\pi (7)^3 = 718.67 \, \text{cm}^3\) - Solution:
False. Volume of hemisphere = \(\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3\) - Solution:

CSA = \( \pi \times 7 \times 25 = 550 \, \text{cm}^2 \) - Solution:
\(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h \Rightarrow h = 4r\)
Ratio \(h : r = 4 : 1\) - Solution:
TSA = \(3\pi (21)^2 = 4158 \, \text{cm}^2\) - Solution:
Volume ratio = \(\frac{(8)^3}{(2)^3} = 64\)
Number of small spheres = 64 - Solution:
Volume ratio \(Cone : Hemisphere : Cylinder\) = \(1 : 2 : 3\) - Solution:
\(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = 288\pi \Rightarrow r^3 = 216 \Rightarrow r = 6 \, \text{cm}\) - Solution:
Volume = \(\frac{1}{3}\pi (3.5)^2 \times 12 = 154 \, \text{m}^3 = 154 \, \text{kL}\) - Solution:
Cylinder surface area = \(2\pi r (r + 2r) = 6\pi r^2\)
Sphere surface area = \(4\pi r^2\)
Ratio = \(6\pi r^2 : 4\pi r^2 = 3 : 2\) - Solution:
CSA = \(2\pi (7)^2 = 308 \, \text{cm}^2\) - Solution:
Inner radius = \(12 – 1 = 11 \, \text{cm}\)
Volume of metal = \(\frac{4}{3}\pi (12^3 – 11^3) = 634.87 \, \text{cm}^3\) - Solution:
Hypotenuse = \(10 \, \text{cm}\)
Radius of rotation = \(\frac{6 \times 8}{10} = 4.8 \, \text{cm}\)
Volume = \(2 \times \frac{1}{3}\pi (4.8)^2 \times 10 = 486.4 \, \text{cm}^3\) - Solution:
\(154 = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7^2 \times h \Rightarrow h = 3 \, \text{cm}\) - Solution:
\(\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3 = 303 \Rightarrow r^3 = 144 \Rightarrow r \approx 5.24 \, \text{cm}\) - Solution:
Volume of cylinder = \(n \times \frac{1}{3}\pi (2r)^2 \times \frac{h}{3}\)
\( \pi r^2 h = n \times \frac{4}{9}\pi r^2 h \Rightarrow n = \frac{9}{4} = 2.25 \)
Not possible; check problem constraints. - Solution:
Radius = \(10.5 \, \text{cm}\)
Surface area = \(4\pi (10.5)^2 = 1386 \, \text{cm}^2\)
