Q.1: Find the volume, the curved surface area, the total surface area of a cone having base radius 35 am and height 84 cm.

Solution:

Here, r = 35 cm and h = 84 cm

∴ Volume of cone = 13πr2h$\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$

= [13×227×35×35×84]cm3$[\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 35 \times 35 \times 84] cm^{3}$ = 107800 cm3

∴ Curved surface area = [πrh2+r2]=h2+r2$[ \pi r \sqrt{h^{2} + r^{2}} ] = \sqrt{h^{2} + r^{2}}$

= πr842+352$\pi r \sqrt{84^{2} + 35^{2}}$ = πr8281$\pi r \sqrt{8281}$

= 227×35×91$\frac{22}{7} \times 35 \times 91$ = 10010 cm2

∴ Total surface area = 𝜋r(l + r)

Now,  l = h2+r2$\sqrt{h^{2} + r^{2}}$ = 842+352$\sqrt{84^{2} + 35^{2}}$

= 7056+1225=8281=91cm$\sqrt{7056 + 1225} = \sqrt{8281} = 91 cm$

∴ Total surface area = 227×35(91+35)$\frac{22}{7} \times 35(91 + 35)$

= (22×5×126)cm2=13860cm2$(22 \times 5 \times 126) cm^{2} = 13860 cm^{2}$

Q.2: Find the volume, the curved surface area and the total surface area of a cone whose height and slant height are 6 cm and 10 cm respectively. (take 𝜋 = 3.14)

Solution:

Here, height (h) = 6 cm and slant height (l) = 10 cm

∴ radius (r) = l2h2$\sqrt{l^{2} – h^{2}}$ = 10262=10036$\sqrt{10^{2} – 6^{2}} = \sqrt{100 – 36}$ = 64=8cm$\sqrt{64} = 8 cm$

∴ Volume of cone = 13πr2h$\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$

= [13×227×8×8×6]cm3$[\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 8 \times 8 \times 6] cm^{3}$ = 401.92 cm3

∴ Curved surface area = 𝜋rl = (3.14 × 8 × 10) cm2 = 251.2 cm2

∴ Total surface area = 𝜋r(l + r) = 𝜋r(10 + 8) = (3.14 × 8 × 18) cm2 = 452.16 cm2

Q.3: The volume of a right circular cone is (100𝜋) cm3 and its height is 12 cm. Find its slant height and its curved surface area.

Solution:

Here, Volume = (100𝜋) cm3, height (h) = 12 cm

Volume of the cone =   13πr2h$\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$

$\Rightarrow$ 100𝜋 = 13πr212$\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} 12$

r2=100π×3π×12$\Rightarrow r^{2} = \frac{100 \pi \times 3}{ \pi \times 12}$
r2=25$\Rightarrow r^{2} = 25$
r=25=5cm.$\Rightarrow r = \sqrt{25} = 5 cm.$

Slant height (l) = h2+r2$\sqrt{h^{2} + r^{2}}$ = 122+52$\sqrt{12^{2} + 5^{2}}$

l = 144+25=169=13cm.$\sqrt{144 + 25} = \sqrt{169} = 13 cm.$

∴ Slant height (l) = 13 cm

∴ Curved surface area = 𝜋rl = (5)(13) cm2 = 65𝜋 cm2

Q.4: A cone of slant height 25 cm has a curved surface area 550 cm2. Find the height and volume of the cone.

Solution:

Here, curved surface area = 550 cm2 and slant height (l) = 25 cm

∴ Curved surface area = 𝜋rl

550=227×r×25$\Rightarrow 550 = \frac{22}{7} \times r \times 25$
r=550×722×25cm=7cm$\Rightarrow r = \frac{550 \times 7}{22 \times 25} cm = 7 cm$

Now, height (h) = l2r2$\sqrt{l^{2} – r^{2}}$ = (25)2(7)2$\sqrt{(25)^{2} -(7)^{2}}$ = 62549$\sqrt{625 – 49}$ = 576=24cm$\sqrt{576} = 24 cm$

∴ Height of the cone = 24 cm.

Volume of the cone = 13πr2h$\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$ = [13×227×7×7×24]cm3$[ \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7 \times 24] cm^{3}$ = 1232 cm3

∴ Volume of the cone = 1232 cm3

Q.5: Find the volume of a cone having radius of the base 35 cm and slant height 37 cm.

Solution:

Here, radius (r) = 35 cm and slant height (l) = 37 cm

h=l2r2$h = \sqrt{l^{2} – r^{2}}$ =  372352$\sqrt{37^{2} – 35^{2}}$

=13691225=144=12cm$= \sqrt{1369 – 1225} = \sqrt{144} = 12 cm$

∴ Height (h) = 12 cm.

Volume of the cone = 13πr2h$\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$

= [13×227×35×35×12]cm3$[ \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 35 \times 35 \times 12] cm^{3}$ = 15400 cm3

∴ Volume of the cone = 15400 cm3

Q.6: The curved surface area of a cone is 4070 cm2 and its diameter is 70 cm. Find its slant height.

Solution:

Here, curved surface area = 4070 cm2

Diameter = 70 cm $\Rightarrow$ radius = 35 cm

∴ Curved surface area = 𝜋rl

4070=227×35×l$\Rightarrow 4070 = \frac{22}{7} \times 35 \times l$
l=4070110=37cm$\Rightarrow l = \frac{4070}{110} = 37 cm$

∴ Slant height = 37 cm.

Q.7: How many meters of cloth, 2.5 m wide, will be required to make a conical tent whose base radius is 7 m and height 24 m?

Solution:

Here, radius = 7 m and height = 24 m

∴ slant height (l) = h2+r2$\sqrt{h^{2} +r^{2}}$ = 242+72$\sqrt{24^{2} +7^{2}}$

= 576+49=625=25m$\sqrt{576 +49} = \sqrt{625} = 25 m$

Now, area of the cloth = 𝜋rl

area=227×7×25=550m2$\Rightarrow area = \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 25 = 550 m^{2}$

∴ Length of cloth = Areaofclothwidthofcloth=5502.5=220m$\frac{Area \, of \, cloth}{width \, of \, cloth} = \frac{550}{2.5} = 220 m$

∴ Length of cloth required to make a conical tent = 220 m.

Q.8: A right circular cone is 3.6 cm high and the radius of its base is 1.6 cm. It is melted and re-casted into a right circular cone having a base radius 1.2 cm. Find its height.

Solution:

Here, height of cone = 3.6 cm and radius = 1.6 cm

After melting, its radius = 1.2 cm

Volume of original cone = Volume of cone after melting

13π×1.6×1.6×3.6=13π×1.2×1.2×h$\frac{1}{3} \pi \times 1.6 \times 1.6 \times 3.6 = \frac{1}{3} \pi \times 1.2 \times 1.2 \times h$

h=13π×1.6×1.6×3.613π×1.2×1.2=6.4cm$\Rightarrow h = \frac{\frac{1}{3} \pi \times 1.6 \times 1.6 \times 3.6}{\frac{1}{3} \pi \times 1.2 \times 1.2} = 6.4 cm$

∴ Height of new cone = 6.4 cm

Q.9: Two cones have their heights in the ratio 1 : 3 and their radii of their bases in the ratio 3 :1. Show that their volumes are in the ratio 3 : 1.

Solution:

Let their heights be ‘h’ and ‘3h’

And, their radii be ‘3r’ and ‘r’

Then, V1=13π(3r)2×h$V_{1} = \frac{1}{3} \pi (3r)^{2} \times h$

And, V2=13π(r)2×3h$V_{2} = \frac{1}{3} \pi (r)^{2} \times 3h$

V1V2=13π(3r)2×h13π(r)2×3h=31$\Rightarrow \frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} = \frac{\frac{1}{3} \pi (3r)^{2} \times h}{\frac{1}{3} \pi (r)^{2} \times 3h} = \frac{3}{1}$

∴ V1:V2= 3 : 1

Q.10: A circus tent is in cylindrical to a height of 3 metres and conical above it. If its diameter is 105 m and the slant height of the conical portion is 53 m, calculate the length of the canvas 5 m wide to make the required tent.

Solution:

Radius of the cylinder, R = 1052$\frac{105}{2}$ m and its height, H = 3m

Slant height (l) = 53 m

∴ Area of canvas = (2𝜋RH + 𝜋Rl)

= [(2×227×1052×3)+(227×1052×53)]m2$[( 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{105}{2} \times 3 ) + ( \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{105}{2} \times 53 ) ] m^{2}$ = (990 + 8745) m2 = 9735 m2

∴ Length canvas = areaofcanvaswidthofcanvasm$\frac{area \, of \, canvas}{width \, of \, canvas} m$ = 97355=1947m$\frac{9735}{5} = 1947 m$

Q.11: A conical tent is to accommodate 11 persons. Each person must have 4 m2 of the space on the ground and 20 m3 of air to breathe. Find the height of the cone.

Solution:

Let the radius be ‘r’ meters and height be ‘h’ meters.

Area of the base = (11 × 4) m2 = 44 m2

Therefore, 𝜋r2 = 44

r2=(44×722)=14m$\Rightarrow r^{2} = (44 \times \frac{7}{22} ) = 14 m$
r2=14m$\Rightarrow r^{2} = 14 m$

Volume of the cone = 13πr2h$\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$

∴ Volume of the cone = (11 × 20) m3 = 220 m3

220=13×227×14×h$\Rightarrow 220 = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 14 \times h$
h=220×322×2=15m$h = \frac{220 \times 3}{22 \times 2} = 15 m$

∴ The height of the cone = 15 m.

Q.12: A cylindrical bucket, 32 cm high and 18 cm of the radius of the base, is filled with sand. This bucket is emptied on the ground and a conical heap of sand is formed. If the height of the conical heap is 24 cm, find the radius and the slant height of the heap.

Solution:

Here, the height of the cylindrical bucket = 32 m and radius = 18 cm.

Now, let the radius of the heap be R cm and its slant height be ‘l’ cm.

Then, π×(18)2×32=13×π×R2×24$\pi \times (18)^{2} \times 32 = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times R^{2} \times 24$

R2=π×18×18×32×3π×24=1296$\Rightarrow R^{2} = \frac{ \pi \times 18 \times 18 \times 32 \times 3}{ \pi \times 24} = 1296$
R=1296=36cm$\Rightarrow R = \sqrt{1296} = 36 cm$

∴ Radius of the heap = 36 cm

Slant height (l) = h2+R2$\sqrt{h^{2} + R^{2}}$ = 242+362$\sqrt{24^{2} + 36^{2}}$ = 576+1296$\sqrt{576 + 1296}$ = 1872=43.27cm$\sqrt{1872} = 43.27 cm$

∴ Slant height of the heap = 43.27 cm.

Q.13: A cylinder and a cone have equal radii of their bases and equal heights. If their curved surface areas are in the ratio 8 : 5, show that the radius and height of each have the ratio 3 :4.

Solution:

Let the curved surface area of the cylinder and cone b 8x and 5x.

Then,  2𝜋rh = 8x . . . . . . . (i)

And, πrh2+r2=5x$\pi r \sqrt{h^{2} + r^{2}} = 5x$ . . . . . . . (ii)

Squaring both sides of equation (i), we have

(2πrh)2=(8x)2$(2 \pi r h)^{2} = (8x)^{2}$

4π2r2h2=64x2$4 \pi^{2} r^{2} h^{2} = 64x^{2}$ . . . . . . . . . (iii)

From (ii), we have,

πrh2+r2=5x$\pi r \sqrt{h^{2} + r^{2}} = 5x$

Squaring both sides,

π2r2(h2+r2)=25x2$\Rightarrow \pi^{2} r^{2} ( h^{2} + r^{2} ) = 25x^{2}$ . . . . . . . . . .(iv)

4π2r2h2π2r2(h2+r2=6425$\Rightarrow \frac{4 \pi^{2} r^{2} h^{2}}{\pi^{2} r^{2} (h^{2} + r^{2}} = \frac{64}{25}$  [Divide (iii) by (iv)]

h2(h2+r2)=1625$\Rightarrow \frac{h^{2}}{ ( h^{2} + r^{2} )} = \frac{16}{25}$
9h2=16r2$\Rightarrow 9h^{2} = 16r^{2}$
r2h2=916$\Rightarrow \frac{r^{2}}{h^{2}} = \frac{9}{16}$
rh=34$\Rightarrow \frac{r}{h} = \frac{3}{4}$

∴ The ratio of radius and height = 3:4

Q.14: An iron pillar consists of a cylindrical portion 2.8 m high and 20 cm in diameter and a cone 42 cm high is surrounding it. Find the weight of the pillar, given that 1 cm3 of iron weighs 7.5 g.

Solution:

Here, height (h) of cylinder = 2.8 m = 280 cm and diameter = 20 cm

$\Rightarrow$ radius = 10 cm

Height of the cone (H) = 42 cm

∴ Volume of the pillar = (πr2h+13πr2H)cm3$(\pi r^{2} h + \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} H ) cm^{3}$

= πr2(h+13H)cm3$\pi r^{2} (h + \frac{1}{3} H ) cm^{3}$

= 227×10×10×(280+13×42)cm3$\frac{22}{7} \times 10 \times 10 \times (280 + \frac{1}{3} \times 42 ) cm^{3}$

= 22007×[280+14]$\frac{2200}{7} \times [280 + 14]$ = 92400 cm3

∴ Weight of pillar = 92400×7.51000=693kg$\frac{92400 \times 7.5}{1000} = 693 kg$

Q.15: The height of a cone is 30 cm. A small cone is cut off at the top by a plane parallel to the base. If its volume be (1/27) of the volume of the given cone, at what height above the base, the section has been made?

Solution:

Let the smaller cone have radius = ‘r’ cm and height = ‘h’ cm

And, let the radius of the given original cone be R cm

Since, the two triangles, ΔOCDandΔOAB$\Delta OCD and \Delta OAB$ are similar to each other, we have,

rR=h30(since,ΔOCD ΔOAB)$\frac{r}{R} = \frac{h}{30} \: \: \: (since, \Delta OCD ~ \Delta OAB)$

r=Rh30$\Rightarrow r = \frac{Rh}{30}$ . . . . . . . . . . . . (1)

Given that the volume of the small cone is 127$\frac{1}{27}$ of the volume of the given cone,

13πr2h=127×13πR2×30[given]$\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h = \frac{1}{27} \times {1}{3} \pi R^{2} \times 30 [given]$

13π[hR30]2h=181πR2×30[from(1)]$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} \pi [ \frac{hR}{30}]^{2} h = \frac{1}{81} \pi R^{2} \times 30 [from (1)]$
13πh3r3900=181πR2×30$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} \pi \frac{h^{3} r^{3}}{900} = \frac{1}{81} \pi R^{2} \times 30$
h3=1×30×900×381$\Rightarrow h^{3} = \frac{1 \times 30 \times 900 \times 3}{81}$
h3=1000cm3h=10cm$\Rightarrow h^{3} = 1000 cm^{3} \Rightarrow h = 10 cm$

From the figure,

AC = (OA – OC) = (30 – 10) cm = 20 cm

∴ The required height = 20 cm

Q.16: From a solid right circular cylinder with height 10 cm and radius of the base 6 cm, a right circular cone of the same height and base is removed. Find the volume of the remaining solid (take 𝜋 = 3.14).

Solution:

Here, height (h) =10 cm and radius = 6 cm

∴ Volume of the remaining solid = (πr2h)13πr2h)$(\pi r^{2} h) – \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h)$

= (π×6×6×10)cm3(13×π×6×6×10)cm3$(\pi \times 6 \times 6 \times 10) cm^{3} – ( \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times 6 \times 6 \times 10) cm^{3}$

= 23π×6×6×10cm3$\frac{2}{3} \pi \times 6 \times 6 \times 10 cm^{3}$

= (23×3.14×360)cm3=753.6cm3$(\frac{2}{3} \times 3.14 \times 360) cm^{3} = 753.6 cm^{3}$

∴ Volume of the remaining solid = 753.6 cm3

Q.17: Water flows at a rate of 10 meters per minute through a cylindrical pipe 5 mm in diameter. How long would it take to fill a conical vessel whose diameter at the surface 40 cm and depth 24 cm?

Solution:

Diameter of the pipe = 5 mm = 0.5 cm

Radius of the pipe = 0.25 cm

Length of the pipe = 10 m = 1000 cm

Volume that flows in 1 minute = [𝜋 × (0.25)2 × 24] cm3

∴ Required time = 13π×(20)2×24π×(0.25)2×1000$\frac{ \frac{1}{3} \pi \times (20)^{2} \times 24}{\pi \times (0.25)^{2} \times 1000}$ = 13πtimes400×24π×0.0625×1000$\frac{ \frac{1}{3} \pi times 400 \times 24}{ \pi \times 0.0625 \times 1000}$ = 51.2 min = 51 min 12 sec.
