Solid Figures Question 1:
The length and breadth of a rectangle are in the ratio 9 : 5, respectively, and the perimeter of the rectangle is 280 cm. If the area of the rectangle is equal to the area of the top surface of a solid cylinder, then find the curved surface area of the cylinder given that its radius is 120% of its height.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Solid Figures Question 1 Detailed Solution
Find Length and Breadth of the Rectangle
Let length= 9x, breadth= 5x.
Perimeter = 2(9x + 5x) = 280
2(14x) = 280 ⟹ 28x = 280 ⟹ x = 10
Thus,
Length = 9x = 90 cm, Breadth = 5x = 50 cm
Area of rectangle = 90 × 50 = 4500 cm2.
The top surface of the cylinder is a circle with area πr2
Given:
πr2 = 4500 ⟹ r2 = 4500π
Given: Radius r = 120% of height h, so:
r = 1.2h ⟹ h = r / 1.2 = 5r / 6
Now, let's find the Curved Surface Area of Cylinder:
Curved surface area = 2πrh
Substituteh = 5r / 6:
CSA = 2πr(5r/6) = 10πr2 / 6 = 5πr2 / 3
Since πr2 = 4500:
CSA = 5 x 4500 / 3 = 7500 cm2
Thus, the correct answer is 7500 cm2.
Solid Figures Question 2:
If the height of the cone is twice of the radius of its base circle then find the ratio of the area of base with total surface area:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Solid Figures Question 2 Detailed Solution
Given:
Height of cone = 2 × Radius of base circle.
Radius of base circle = r.
Total Surface Area (TSA) of cone = Area of base + Curved Surface Area.
Formula Used:
Area of base = πr2.
Curved Surface Area = πr × l, where l is the slant height.
Slant height (l) = √(r2 + h2).
Total Surface Area = πr2 + πr × l.
Ratio = Area of base / Total Surface Area.
Calculation:
Height (h) = 2r.
Slant height (l) = √(r2 + (2r)2)
⇒ l = √(r2 + 4r2)
⇒ l = √(5r2)
⇒ l = r√5.
Curved Surface Area = πr × r√5
⇒ Curved Surface Area = πr2√5.
Total Surface Area = πr2 + πr2√5.
⇒ Total Surface Area = πr2(1 + √5).
Area of base = πr2.
Ratio = Area of base / Total Surface Area
⇒ Ratio = πr2 / [πr2(1 + √5)]
⇒ Ratio = 1 / (1 + √5).
Solid Figures Question 3:
The ratio of radii of a cylinder to a cone is 1:2. If their heights are equal, then the ratio of their volumes is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Solid Figures Question 3 Detailed Solution
Given:
Radius of cylinder (rc) = r
Radius of cone (rcone) = 2r
Height of cylinder = Height of cone = h
Formula used:
Volume of cylinder (Vc) = πr2h
Volume of cone (Vcone) = (1/3)πr2h
Calculation:
Volume of cylinder = πr2h
Volume of cone = (1/3)π(2r)2h
⇒ Volume of cone = (1/3)π(4r2)h
Ratio of volumes = Volume of cylinder : Volume of cone
⇒ Ratio = πr2h : (1/3)π(4r2)h
⇒ Ratio = 1 : (4/3)
⇒ Ratio = 3 : 4
∴ The correct answer is option (3).
Solid Figures Question 4:
A rectangular sheet of 31.4 cm x 10 cm size is rolled across its length to make a cylinder without overlap. What will be the approximate volume of the cylinder?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Solid Figures Question 4 Detailed Solution
Given:
Length of rectangular sheet = 31.4 cm
Breadth of rectangular sheet = 10 cm
Formula used:
Circumference of the base of the cylinder = Length of the sheet
Height of the cylinder = Breadth of the sheet
Volume of the cylinder = π × r2 × h
Where, r = radius of the base, h = height
Calculation:
Length of the sheet = Circumference of the base = 2πr
⇒ 31.4 = 2 × 3.14 × r
⇒ r = 31.4 / (2 × 3.14)
⇒ r = 5 cm
Height of the cylinder = Breadth of the sheet = 10 cm
Volume of the cylinder = π × r2 × h
⇒ Volume = 3.14 × (5)2 × 10
⇒ Volume = 3.14 × 25 × 10
⇒ Volume = 785 cm3
∴ The correct answer is option (1).
Solid Figures Question 5:
If the volume of a right circular cone is 1232 m3 and radius of the base is 7 m, then the slant height of the cone is: (π =
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Solid Figures Question 5 Detailed Solution
Given:
Volume of cone (V) = 1232 m3
Radius of the base (r) = 7 m
π = 22/7
Formula used:
Volume of cone: V = (1/3) × π × r2 × h
Slant height (l): l = √(r2 + h2)
Calculation:
1232 = (1/3) × (22/7) × 72 × h
⇒ 1232 = (1/3) × (22/7) × 49 × h
⇒ 1232 = (1078/21) × h
⇒ h = 1232 × (21/1078)
⇒ h = 24 m
Slant height (l):
l = √(r2 + h2)
⇒ l = √(72 + 242)
⇒ l = √(49 + 576)
⇒ l = √625
⇒ l = 25 m
∴ The correct answer is option (3).

The radius of a solid hemisphere is 21 cm.
The ratio of the cylinder's curved surface area to its Total surface area is 2/5.
Formula used:
The curved surface area of the cylinder = 2πRh
The total surface area of cylinder = 2πR(R + h)
The volume of the cylinder = πR2h
The volume of the solid hemisphere = 2/3πr³
(where r is the radius of a solid hemisphere and R is the radius of a cylinder)
Calculations:
According to the question,
CSA/TSA = 2/5
⇒ [2πRh]/[2πR(R + h)] = 2/5
⇒ h/(R + h) = 2/5
⇒ 5h = 2R + 2h

⇒ R3 = (21)3
⇒ R = 21 cm
∴ The radius (in cm) of its base is 21 cm.

To pack a set of books, Gautam got cartons of a certain height that were 48 inches long and 27 inches wide. If the volume of such a carton was 22.5 cubic feet, what was the height of each carton? [Use 1 foot = 12 inches.]
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Solid Figures Question 14 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGIVEN:
Cartons having length = 48 inches and breadth = 27 inches
The volume of cartoon = 22.5 cubic feet.
FORMULA USED :
Volume of Cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height
CALCULATION :
Volume of carton = volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height
⇒ volume of carton = 48 × 27 × Height
∵ 1 foot = 12 inches, then 22.5 cubic feet = 22.5 × 12 × 12 ×12
⇒ 22.5 × 12 × 12 × 12 = 48 × 27 × Height
⇒ 38,880 = 1,296 × Height
⇒ Height = 30 inches.
∴ The height of each cartoon is 30 inches.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Solid Figures Question 15 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFFormula Used:
Volume of sphere =
Surface area of sphere = 4πr2
Calculation:
If the radius of a smaller sphere be 'r cm' then
Acoording to the question:
r = 1 cm
Surface area of the larger sphere = 4π(10)2 = 400π
Total surface area of 1000 smaller spheres = 1000 × 4π(1)2 = 4000π
Net increase in the surface area = 4000π − 400π = 3600π
Hence, surface area of the metal is increased by 9 times.
