Let r1 = 21 cm. and 2 r2 = 17.5 cm. 2 ∴ Required ratio = 4πr1² = r1² 4πr2² r2² ⇒ 21 ² 2 = 21 × 21 = 36 : 25 17.5 ² 17.5 × 17.5 2 Correct Option: B
Let r1 = 21 cm. and 2 r2 = 17.5 cm. 2 ∴ Required ratio = 4πr1² = r1² 4πr2² r2² ⇒ 21 ² 2 = 21 × 21 = 36 : 25 17.5 ² 17.5 × 17.5 2
- When the circumference of a toy ballon is increased from 20 cm to 25 cm, its radius (in cm) is increased by :

Here, we can treat the balloon as sphere.
Its circumference = 2πr
∴ 2πr1 = 20 ...(i)
2πr2 = 25 ....(ii)
On dividing equation (ii) by (i),⇒ 2πr2 = 25 ⇒ r2 = 5 2πr1 20 r1 4
∴ Increase = r2 – r1= 5 r1 - r1 1 r1 4 4 = 1 × 20 = 5 [From(i) 4 2π 2π Correct Option: C

- If the volume of two cubes are in the ratio 27 : 64, then the ratio of their total surface area is :
-

Let the side of the two cubes are x and y.
According to the questionx³ = 27 = (3)³ , ∴ x = 3 y³ 64 (4)³ y 4
We know that surface area of the cube = 6 × (side)²
∴ Ratio of their surface areas= 6x² = 6 × 3² = 9 = 9 : 16 6y² 6 × 4² 16 Correct Option: C

- If the height of a cylinder is increased by 15 per cent and the radius of its base is decreased by 10 per cent then by what percent will its curved surface area change?

Per cent change in surface area
= x + y + xy 100 = 15 + (-10) + 15 × (-10) 100 = 15 - 10 - 150 = [15 - 11.5] 100
= 3.5 per cent.
(+ve) sign shows 3.5 per cent increases.Correct Option: B
Per cent change in surface area
