    Volume of each smaller sphere =

    πr³
    3

    =
    4
    π × (3)³ = 36 &p; cu.cm.
    3

    If the radius of larger sphere be R cm, then
    4
    πR³ = 1000 × 36π
    3

    ⇒ R³ =
    1000 × 36 × 3
    4

    = 1000 × 3 × 3 × 3
    ∴ R = ³√1000 × 3 × 3 × 3
    = 10 × 3 = 30 cm.
    ∴ Its diameter = (2 × 30) cm. = 60 cm

  1. A hemispherical bowl has internal radius of 6 cm. The internal surface area would be : (Takep π = 3.14)









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Internal surface area of hemispherical bowl = 2πr²
    = (2 × 3.14 × 6 × 6) sq.cm. = 226.08 sq.cm.

    Correct Option: D

    Internal surface area of hemispherical bowl = 2πr²
    = (2 × 3.14 × 6 × 6) sq.cm. = 226.08 sq.cm.



  1. The diameter of a 120 cm long roller is 84 cm. It takes 500 complete revolutions of the roller to level a ground. The cost of levelling the ground at Rs. 1.50 per sq. m. is :









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Levelled area in one revolution of roller = 2πrh

    = 2 ×
    22
    × 42 × 120 = 31680 sq. cm.
    7

    Area levelled in 500 revolutions = (31680 × 500) sq. cm. = 15840000 sq. cm.
    = 1584 sq. metre
    ∴ Required cost = Rs. (1584 × 1.5) = Rs. 2376

    Correct Option: C

    Levelled area in one revolution of roller = 2πrh

    = 2 ×
    22
    × 42 × 120 = 31680 sq. cm.
    7

    Area levelled in 500 revolutions = (31680 × 500) sq. cm. = 15840000 sq. cm.
    = 1584 sq. metre
    ∴ Required cost = Rs. (1584 × 1.5) = Rs. 2376


  1. If the radius of a sphere is increased by 2 cm, then its surface area increases by 352 cm². The radius of the sphere initially was : (use π = 22/7)

    Initial radius of sphere = r cm (let).
    According to the question, 4π(r + 2)² – 4πr² = 352
    ⇒ 4π ((r + 2)² – r²) = 352

    ⇒ r² + 4r + 4 – r² =
    352

    ⇒ 4r = 28 – 4 = 24
    ⇒ r =

    Total surface area of right circular cylinder = 2πrh + 2πr² = 2πr (h + r)

    = 2 ×
    22
    × 7 (20 + 7)

    = 2 × 22 × 27 = 1188 sq. cm.

    Correct Option: D
