Medians intersect at point G.
∴ ∆ABG = ∆BGC = ∆AGC.
GE bisects ∆CGE.
∴ ∆AGE = ∆CGE
∴ Area of ∆CGE= 1 × Area of ∆ABC 6 = 1 × 36 = 6 sq.cm. 6 Correct Option: B

Slant height = l units Radius = r units
∴ l = √r² + h² , V = 1 πr²h , C = πrl 3
∴ 3πVh³ - C²h² + 9V²= 3π × 1 πr²h × - (πrl)²h² + 1 πr²h 3 3
= π²r²h4 - π²r²l²h² + π²r4h²
= π²r²h4 - π²r²h²(r² + h²) + π²r4h²
= π²r²h4 - π²r4h² - π²r4h²
= 0Correct Option: A
Slant height = l units Radius = r units
∴ l = √r² + h² , V = 1 πr²h , C = πrl 3
∴ 3πVh³ - C²h² + 9V²= 3π × 1 πr²h × - (πrl)²h² + 1 πr²h 3 3
= π²r²h4 - π²r²l²h² + π²r4h²
= π²r²h4 - π²r²h²(r² + h²) + π²r4h²
= π²r²h4 - π²r4h² - π²r4h²

Total surface area of prism = 151.2. = 1215 = 756 sq.cm. 0.20 2
Hypotenuse of the triangular base = √9² + 12² = √81 + 144
= √225 = 15 cm.
∴ Perimeter of base = 9 + 12 + 15 = 36 cm.
∴ Total surface area = Perimeter of base × height + 2 × area of base⇒ 756 = 36 × h + 2 × 1 × 9 × 12 2
→756 = 36h + 108
⇒ 36h = 756 – 108 = 648⇒ h = 648 = 18 cm. 36 Correct Option: B
