Solution

(i) Cost of white-washing the dome from inside = Rs 498.96

Cost of white-washing 1 m2 area = Rs 2

Therefore, CSA of the inner side of dome =

= 249.48 m2

(ii) Let the inner radius of the hemispherical dome be r.

CSA of inner side of dome = 249.48 m2

r2 = 249.48 m2

r = 6.3 m

Volume of air inside the dome = Volume of hemispherical dome

= 523.908 m3

= 523.9 m3 (approximately)

Therefore, the volume of air inside the dome is 523.9 m3.
