                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Let the thickness of the pipe be x cm 
 ∴ If the external radius = 9 cm then, in radius = (9 – x) cm
 According to the question, π × 9² × 14 – π × 14 × (9 – x)² = 748
 ↠ π × 14 (81 – (81 + x² – 18x)) = 748
 π p × 14 (–x² + 18x) = 748⇒ –x² + 18x = 784 = 784 × 7 π × 14 22 × 14 
 ⇒ –x² + 18x = 17
 ⇒ x² – 18x + 17 = 0
 ⇒ x² – 17x – x + 17 = 0
 ⇒ x (x – 17) – 1 (x – 17) = 0
 ⇒ (x – 1) (x – 17) = 0
 ⇒ x = 1 or 17 but x = 17 is inadmissible
 ∴ x = 1 cmCorrect Option: ALet the thickness of the pipe be x cm

 ∴ x = 1 cm
-  A hollow cylindrical tube 20 cm long, is made of iron and its external and internal diameters are 8 cm and 6 cm respectively. The volume of iron used in making the tube is ( π = 22/7)
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum The volume of iron used = πr1²h1 - πr2²h2 = (r1² - r2²) = 22 × 20(4² - 3²) 7 = 22 × 20 × 7 = 440 cu.cm. 7 Correct Option: CThe volume of iron used = πr1²h1 - πr2²h2 = (r1² - r2²) = 22 × 20(4² - 3²) 7 = 22 × 20 × 7 = 440 cu.cm. 7 
-  Four equal sized maximum circular plates are cut off from a square paper sheet of area 784 sq.cm. The circumference of each plate is (Take π = 22/7)

 Side of the square paper sheet = √784 = 28 cm.Obviously, radius of each circle = 28 = 7 cm 4 
 Circumference of each circular plate = 2πr= 2 × 22 × 7 = 44 cm 7 Correct Option: BUsing Rule 10 and 14,

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Using Rule 14, 
 If the radius be r metre, then πr + 2r = 144
 ⇒ r (π + 2) = 144⇒ r = 144 = 144 = 144 × 7 = 28 π + 2 22 + 2 36 7 
 ∴ Diameter = 2r = 2 × 28 = 56 metreCorrect Option: DUsing Rule 14, 
 If the radius be r metre, then πr + 2r = 144
 ⇒ r (π + 2) = 144⇒ r = 144 = 144 = 144 × 7 = 28 π + 2 22 + 2 36 7 
 ∴ Diameter = 2r = 2 × 28 = 56 metre
-  If the difference between the circumference and diameter of a circle is 30 cm, then the radius of the circle must be

 Let the radius of the circle be r cm.
 Then, 2πr – 2r = 30
 2r (π – 1) = 30⇒ 2r × 22 - 7 = 30 7 ⇒ 2r ×15 = 30 × 7 ⇒ r = 30 × 7 ⇒ r = 7 cm 30 Correct Option: BUsing Rule 14, 
 Let the radius of the circle be r cm.
 Then, 2πr – 2r = 30
 2r (π – 1) = 30⇒ 2r × 22 - 7 = 30 7 ⇒ 2r ×15 = 30 × 7 ⇒ r = 30 × 7 ⇒ r = 7 cm 30
