 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

 ∴ 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: ASlant 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

-  Let ABCDEF be a prism whose base is a right angled triangle, where sides adjacent to 90° are 9 cm and 12 cm. If the cost of painting the prism is Rs. 151.20, at the rate of 20 paise per sq cm then the height of the prism is :

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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: BTotal surface area of prism = 151.2. = 1215 = 756 sq.cm. 0.20 2
