Correct Answer: 18? cm3
Explanation:
volume = (2/3)?r3
= (2/3) x ? x 33
= (2/3) x ? x 27
= 18? cm3
Correct Answer: 64? sq cm
Explanation:
Required surface area = 4?r2
= 4 x ? x 42 = 664? sq cm
Correct Answer: 9?3
Explanation:
Given, side of cube, a = 9
? Diagonal of cube = a?3 = 9?3
Correct Answer: 3 : 1
Explanation:
Ratio of their volumes = [?r2h] / [(1/3)?r2h] = 3/1
= 3 : 1
Correct Answer: 2464 cm2
Explanation:
? (4/3) x (22/7) x r3 = (88/21) x (14)3
? r = 14
? Curved surface = 4 x (22/7) x 14 x 14 cm2 = 2464 cm2
Correct Answer: 4r
Explanation:
Given that,
Volume of sphere = Volume of cone
? (4/3)?r3 = (1/3)?r2h
? 4r = h
Correct Answer: 2.98 cm
Explanation:
Earth dug out = (3 x 2 x 1.5 ) m3 = 9 m3
Area on which earth has been spread = (22 x 14 - 3 x 2 ) m2 = 302 m2
? Rise in level = Volume/Area = (9/302) m = (9 x 100/302) cm = 2.98 cm
Correct Answer: 1 : 9
Explanation:
Let the volume be x3 and 27x3
? Their edges are x and 3x
Now Ratio of their surface area = 6x2 : 54x2 = 1 : 9
Correct Answer: 125 %
Explanation:
Let original length of cube = L
Then, its surface area = 6L2
New edge = (150 x L)/10 = 3L/2
New surface area = 6 x (3L/2)2 = (6 x 9 x L2)/4 = (27/2) x L2
Increase in surface area = (27/2 - 6) x L2 = 15 x L2/2
? Increase percent = (15 x L2/2 ) / (6L2) x 100 % = 125 %
Correct Answer: 24
Explanation:
Let the edges of the two cubes be x and y metres
Then, x3 - y3 = 152
and x2 - y2 = 20
Also, x + y = 10
So, x - y = (x2 - y2) / (x + y) = 20/10 = 2
Now, (x3 - y3) / (x - y) = 152/2
? x2 + y2 + xy = 76
? (x + y)2 - xy = 76
? xy = (x + y)2 - 76 = (10)2 - 76 = 24
