Samacheer Kalvi 10th Maths Chapter 7: Mensuration Book Exercise 7.1 Questions and Solutions
Question 1: The radius and height of a cylinder are in the ratio 5:7 and its curved surface area is 5500 sq.cm. Find its radius and height.
Solution:
Radius of cylinder (r) = 5x
Height of cylinder (h) = 7x
Curved surface area of cylinder = 5500 sq.cm
2Πrh = 5500
2⋅ (22 / 7) ⋅ 5x ⋅ 7x = 5500
x2 = 5500 (7 / 22) ⋅ (1 / 2) ⋅ (1 / 35)
x2 = 25
x = 5
Radius = 5(5) = 25 cm
Height = 7(5) = 35 cm
Question 2: A solid iron cylinder has a total surface area of 1848 sq.m. Its curved surface area is five – sixth of its total surface area. Find the radius and height of the iron cylinder.
Solution:
Total surface area of cylinder = 1848 sq.cm
Curved surface area = (5 / 6) of 1848
= (5 / 6) 1848
2Πrh = 1540—-(1)
2Πr (h + r) = 1848
2Πrh + 2Πr2 = 1848
1540 + 2Πr2 = 1848
2Πr2 = 1848 – 1540
2(22 / 7)r2 = 308
r2 = 308 (7 / 22) (1 / 2)
r2 = 49
r = 7 m
By applying the value of r in (1),
2 ⋅ (22 / 7) ⋅ 7h = 1540
h = 1540 / 44
h = 35 m
Question 3: The external radius and the length of a hollow wooden log are 16 cm and 13 cm, respectively. If its thickness is 4 cm then find its total surface area.
Solution:
External radius (R) = 16 cm
height of log = 13 cm
Thickness = 4 cm
Thickness = R – r => 4 = 16 – r
Internal radius (r) = 16 – 4 = 12 cm
Total surface area = 2Π (R + r) (R – r + h)
= 2 ⋅ (22 / 7) (16 + 12) (16 – 12 + 13)
= 2 ⋅ (22 / 7) (28) (17)
= 2992 cm2
Question 4: 4 persons live in a conical tent whose slant height is 19 cm. If each person requires 22 cm2 of the floor area, then find the height of the tent.
Solution:
The slant height of conical tent = 19 cm
The required area of the floor for 1 person = 22 cm2
Area for 4 persons = 22(4) = 88
Πr2 = 88
(22 / 7) ⋅ r2 = 88
r2 = 88 ⋅ (7 / 22)
r = 2√7
height = √(l2 – r2)
= √(192 – (2√7)2
= √[361 – 4(7)]
h = √333
h = 18.25 cm

Question 1: A 14 m deep well with inner diameter 10 m is dug and the earth taken out is evenly spread all around the well to form an embankment of width 5 m. Find the height of the embankment.
Solution:
Given the radius of the well = 5 m
Height of the well = 14 m
Width of the embankment = 5 m
Radius of the embankment = 5 + 5 = 10 m
Let h be the height of the embankment.
Hence, the volume of the embankment = volume of the well
That is, π(R2 – r2)h = πr2h
(102 – 52)h = 52(14)
(100 – 25)h = 25(14)
h = 25(14) / 75
h = 14 / 3
h = 4.67 m
Hence, the height of the embankment is 4.67 m.
Question 2: A cylindrical glass with diameter 20 cm has water to a height of 9 cm. A small cylindrical metal of radius 5 cm and height 4 cm is immersed in it completely. Calculate the rise of the water in the glass?
Solution:
Measurement of glass:
Radius of glass = 10 cm
Height of glass = h
Measurement of small metal :
Radius of metal = 5 cm
Height of glass = 4 cm
The quantity of water raised in the cylindrical glass = volume of the small cylindrical metal
πr2h = πr2h
102 h = 52 (4)
h = 100 / 100
h = 1 cm
Question 3: If the circumference of a conical wooden piece is 484 cm then find its volume when its height is 105 cm.
Solution:
Circumference of piece = 484 cm
2 π r = 484
2 (22 / 7) r = 484
r = 484 (7 / 22) (1 / 2)
r = 77
Volume of cone = (1 / 3) πr2h
= (1 / 3)⋅ (22 / 7) ⋅ 772 ⋅ (105)
= 652190 cm3
Question 4: A conical container is fully filled with petrol. The radius is 10m and the height is 15 m. If the container can release the petrol through its bottom at the rate of 25 cubic meters per minute, in how many minutes will the container be emptied? Round off your answer to the nearest minute.
Solution:
The volume of petrol in the container = (1 / 3) πr2h
Radius = 10 m, height = 15 m
Releasing rate = 25 cubic meter
Number of minutes = (1 / 3) π 102 (15) / 25
= (1 / 3) (22 / 7) 102 (15) / 25
= 62.85
= 63 minutes

Question 1: A vessel is in the form of a hemispherical bowl mounted by a hollow cylinder. The diameter is 14 cm and the height of the vessel is 13 cm. Find the capacity of the vessel.
Solution:
Height of vessel = 13 cm
Radius of hemisphere + height of cylinder = 13
7 + h = 13
h = 13 – 7 = 6 cm
Volume of vessel
= Volume of hemisphere + volume of the cylinder
= (2 / 3)πr3 + πr2h
= πr2 [(2 / 3) r + h]
= (22 / 7) 72 [(2 / 3) 7 + 6]
= (22 / 7) 49 (32 / 3)
= 1642.67 cm3
Question 2: Nathan, an engineering student was asked to make a model shaped like a cylinder with two cones attached at its two ends. The diameter of the model is 3 cm and its length is 12 cm. If each cone has a height of 2 cm, find the volume of the model that Nathan made.
Solution:
Volume of model = 2 volume of cones + volume of cylinder
= 2 (1 / 3) πr2h + πr2h
Height of the model = 12
2(height of cone) + height of cylinder = 12
2(2) + h = 12
height of cylinder = 8 cm
= πr2 [(2 / 3) 2 + 8]
= (22 / 7) (3 / 2)2 [(4 / 3) + 8]
= (22 / 7) (9 / 4) (28 / 3)
Volume of model = 66 cm3
Question 3: From a solid cylinder whose height is 2.4 cm and the diameter 1.4 cm, a cone of the same height and same diameter is carved out. Find the volume of the remaining solid to the nearest cm3.
Solution:
The volume of remaining solid = Volume of the cylinder – Volume of the cone
= πr2h – (1 / 3) πr2h
= πr2h[1 – (1 / 3)]
= (22 / 7) (0.7)2 (2.4) (2 / 3)
= (22 / 7) (0.7)2 (2.4) (2 / 3)
= 2.46 cm3
Question 4: A solid consisting of a right circular cone of height 12 cm and radius 6 cm standing on a hemisphere of radius 6 cm is placed upright in a right circular cylinder full of water such that it touches the bottom. Find the volume of the water displaced out of the cylinder, if the radius of the cylinder is 6 cm and height is 18 cm.
Solution:
The volume of water displaced = Volume of water in the cylinder – (Volume of cone + Volume hemisphere)
= πr2h – [(1 / 3) πr2h + (2 / 3)πr3]
= πr2h – (1 / 3) πr2h – (2 / 3)πr3
= πr2 (h – (1 / 3)h – (2 / 3)r)
= (22 / 7) 62 (18 – (1 / 3)(12) – (2 / 3)(6))
= (22 / 7) 36 (18 – 4 – 4)
= (22 / 7) 36 (10)
= 1131.42 cm3

Question 1: An aluminium sphere of radius 12 cm is melted to make a cylinder of radius 8 cm. Find the height of the cylinder.
Solution:
The volume of sphere = Volume of cylinder
(4 / 3) πr3 = πr2h
Radius of sphere = 12 cm
Radius of cylinder = 8 cm
Height of cylinder = h
(4 / 3) 123 = 82h
h = (4 / 3) (12⋅12⋅12) / (8⋅8)
h = 36 cm
Question 2: Water is flowing at the rate of 15 km per hour through a pipe of diameter 14 cm into a rectangular tank which is 50 m long and 44 m wide. Find the time in which the level of water in the tanks will rise by 21 cm.
Solution:
Quantity of water flowing out = quantity of water in a rectangular tank
Speed of water = 15 km per hour = 15000 m
Diameter of pipe = 14 cm = (14 / 100) m
The radius of pipe = 7 / 100
Length of rectangular tank = 50 m
Width of tank = 44 m
Height of tank = 21 cm = (21 / 100) m
Area of cross-section ⋅ Time ⋅ Speed = l ⋅ w ⋅ h
πr2 ⋅ Time ⋅ 15000 = (50) ⋅ (44) ⋅ (21/100)
(22 / 7) ⋅ (7 / 100)2 ⋅ Time ⋅ 15000 = (50) ⋅ (44) ⋅ 21
Time = (50⋅44⋅21⋅100⋅100⋅7) / (15000⋅100⋅7⋅ 7⋅22)
Time = 2 hours
Question 3: A conical flask is full of water. The flask has base radius r units and height h units, the water poured into a cylindrical flask of base radius xr units. Find the height of water in the cylindrical flask.
Solution:
The volume of water poured from the conical tank = Volume of water in the cylindrical flask
(1 / 3)πr2h = πr2h
Radius of cylinder = xr
(1 / 3)πr2h = π(xr)2h
(r2h / 3) = (x2r2)h
h = r2h / 3x2r2
Height of cylinder = h / 3x2
Question 4: A solid right circular cone of diameter 14 cm and height 8 cm is melted to form a hollow sphere. If the external diameter of the sphere is 10 cm, find the internal radius.
Solution:
Radius of cone = 7 cm
Height of cone = 8 cm
Radius of sphere = 5 cm
The volume of cone = Volume of a sphere
(1 / 3)πr2h = (4 / 3)π(R3 – r3)
72(8) = 4 (53 – r3)
(125 – r3) = 49(2)
125 – r3 = 98
r3 = 125 – 98
r3 = 27
r = 3
Hence, the required internal radius is 3 cm.
