  1. If the surface area of a sphere is 346.5 cm2, then its radius (taking π = 22/7) is









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Surface area of sphere = 4πr²

    ∴ 4 ×
    22
    × r² = 346.5
    7

    ⇒ 4 × 22 × r² = 346.5 × 7
    ⇒ r² =
    346.5 × 7
    = 27.5625
    4 × 22

    ∴ r = √27.5625 = 5.25 cm

    Correct Option: C

    = 27.5625
    4 × 22

    ∴ r = √27.5625 = 5.25 cm


  1. A sphere and a hemisphere have the same radius. Then the ratio of their respective total surface areas is

    Radius of sphere = r units

    Surface area of sphere
    Surface area of hemisphere

    =
    4πr²
    =
    4
    = 4 : 3
    3πr²3

    Correct Option: C

    Radius of sphere = r units

    Surface area of sphere
    Surface area of hemisphere

    =
    4πr²
    =
    4
    = 4 : 3

  1. Area of the floor of a cubical room is 48 sq.m. The length of the longest rod that can be kept in that room is









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Length of room = √48 = 4√3 metre
    ∴ Diagonal = √3 × (4√3)²
    = √3 × 16 × 3 = 12 metre

    Correct Option: B

    Length of room = √48 = 4√3 metre
    ∴ Diagonal = √3 × (4√3)²
    = √3 × 16 × 3 = 12 metre


  1. A toy is in the form of a cone mounted on a hemisphere. The radius of the hemisphere and that of the cone is 3 cm and height of the cone is 4 cm. The total surface area of the toy (taking π = 22/7) is









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum


    Total surface area of the toy = 2πr² + πrl
    = πr (2r + √r² + h²)

    =
    22
    × 3 (2 × 3 + √3² + 4²)
    7

    =
    22
    × 3 (6 + 5)
    7

    =
    22 × 3 × 11
    = 103.71 sq.cm.
    7

    Correct Option: B


    Total surface area of the toy = 2πr² + πrl
    = πr (2r + √r² + h²)

    =
    22
    × 3 (2 × 3 + √3² + 4²)
    7

    =
    22
    × 3 (6 + 5)
    7

    =
    22 × 3 × 11
    = 103.71 sq.cm.

    Total surface of the tetrahedron = 4 ×
    3
    × 12²
    4

    = 144√3 sq.cm.

    Correct Option: D

    Total surface of the tetrahedron = 4 ×
    3
    × 12²
    4

    = 144√3 sq.cm.
