    Using Rule 7,
    Distance covered by the wheel in one revolution = πd

    =
    22
    × 7 = 22 metre
    7

    ∴ Number of revolutions =
    22 × 1000
    = 1000
    22

    Correct Option: D

    Using Rule 7,
    Distance covered by the wheel in one revolution = πd

    =
    22
    × 7 = 22 metre
    7

    ∴ Number of revolutions =
    22 × 1000
    = 1000

    Volume of a right circular cone =
    1
    πr²h =
    1
    π × (3)² × 412π cm³
    73

    Volume of a solid sphere =
    4
    × π × (6)³ = 288 π cm³
    3

    Let the number of cones be n .
    ∴ n × 12π = 288π
    ⇒ n =
    288π
    = 24
    12π

    Correct Option: B

    Area of the curved surface = πrl
    where,lrh = √r² + h² = √(32)² + (60)²
    = √4624 = 68 cm

    Area of the curved surface = πrl =
    22
    × 32 × 68
    7

    ∴ Total cost of painting =
    22
    × 32 × 68
