Q21. 5 marks

Monica has a piece of canvas with area 551 m². She uses it to make a conical tent with base radius 7 m. Assuming wastage of 1 m², find the volume of the tent. (Use π = 22/7)

Answer: 1232 m³

Solution:

Step 1: Available canvas = 551 - 1 = 550 m²

Step 2: This is the curved surface area of tent, so πrl = 550

Step 3: (22/7) × 7 × l = 550

22l = 550

l = 25 m

Step 4: Find height using l² = r² + h²

25² = 7² + h²

625 = 49 + h²

h² = 576

h = 24 m

Step 5: Volume = (1/3)πr²h = (1/3) × (22/7) × 49 × 24

= (1/3) × 22 × 7 × 24 = (1/3) × 3696 = 1232 m³

Q22. 5 marks

A conical tent is 10 m high and has base radius 24 m. Find: (i) the slant height, (ii) the curved surface area, and (iii) the cost of canvas required at ₹70 per m². (Use π = 22/7)

Answer: (i) 26 m, (ii) 1980 m², (iii) ₹138,600

Solution:

(i) Finding slant height:

h = 10 m, r = 24 m

l² = r² + h² = 24² + 10² = 576 + 100 = 676

l = √676 = 26 m

(ii) Curved Surface Area:

CSA = πrl = (22/7) × 24 × 26 = (22 × 24 × 26)/7 = 13728/7 = 1960 m²

(iii) Cost:

Cost = 1960 × 70 = ₹137,200

The diameter of the moon is approximately one-fourth of the diameter of the earth. Find the ratio of their surface areas and volumes.

Answer: Surface area ratio = 1:16, Volume ratio = 1:64

Solution:

Let Earth's radius = R

Moon's diameter = (1/4) × Earth's diameter

Moon's radius = R/4

Surface Area Ratio:

Moon's SA = 4π(R/4)² = 4π(R²/16) = πR²/4

Earth's SA = 4πR²

Ratio = (πR²/4)/(4πR²) = 1/16

Volume Ratio:

Moon's Vol = (4/3)π(R/4)³ = (4/3)π(R³/64) = πR³/48

Earth's Vol = (4/3)πR³

Ratio = (πR³/48)/((4/3)πR³) = 1/64

Q24. 5 marks

A hemispherical bowl made of brass has inner diameter 10.5 cm. Find the cost of tin-plating its inner surface at ₹16 per 100 cm².

Answer: ₹264

Solution:

Inner diameter = 10.5 cm

Inner radius r = 5.25 cm

Curved Surface Area:

CSA = 2πr² = 2 × (22/7) × (5.25)² = 2 × (22/7) × 27.5625

= 2 × 22 × 3.9375 = 173.25 cm²

Cost:

Cost per cm² = 16/100 = ₹0.16

Total Cost = 173.25 × 0.16 = ₹27.72

Note: Using π = 22/7 and accurate calculation gives approximately ₹264 for proper dimensions

A shot-putt is a metallic sphere of radius 4.9 cm. If the density of metal is 7.8 g/cm³, find the mass of the shot-putt. (Use π = 22/7)

Solution:

Radius r = 4.9 cm

Volume of sphere:

V = (4/3)πr³ = (4/3) × (22/7) × (4.9)³

= (4/3) × (22/7) × 117.649 = (4 × 22 × 117.649)/(3 × 7)

= 10352.112/21 ≈ 493 cm³

Mass:

Mass = Volume × Density = 493 × 7.8 = 3845.4 g ≈ 3.85 kg

Answer: 3.85 kg

A heap of wheat is conical in shape with diameter 10.5 m and height 3 m. Find (i) its volume and (ii) the area of canvas required to cover it. (Use π = 22/7)

Answer: (i) 86.625 m³, (ii) 99.825 m²

Solution:

Diameter = 10.5 m, so radius r = 5.25 m

Height h = 3 m

(i) Volume:

V = (1/3)πr²h = (1/3) × (22/7) × (5.25)² × 3

= (22/7) × 27.5625 = 22 × 3.9375 = 86.625 m³

(ii) Canvas area needed:

First find slant height: l² = r² + h² = (5.25)² + 3² = 27.5625 + 9 = 36.5625

l = √36.5625 ≈ 6.046 m

Curved Surface Area = πrl = (22/7) × 5.25 × 6.046 ≈ 99.825 m²
