    Given that, Height = 1 m
    Diameter = 140 cm or 140/100 m = 1.40 m
    ∴ r = 1.40/2 = 0.7 m

    Now,
    Required sheet = Total surface area = 2πr( h + r)

    Correct Option: A

    Given that, Height = 1 m
    Diameter = 140 cm or 140/100 m = 1.40 m
    ∴ r = 1.40/2 = 0.7 m

    Now,
    Required sheet = Total surface area = 2πr( h + r)
    = (22/7) x 1.4 x (1 + 0.7) = 7.48 sq m
    ∴ Sheet required = 7.48 sq m


  1. A right circular metal cone (solid) is 8 cm high and the radius is 2 cm. It is metaled and recast into a sphere. What is the radius of the sphere ?

    Given that, the height and radius of a right circular ,etal cone (solid) are 8 cm and 2 cm, respectively.
    i.e., h = 8 cm and r = 2 cm
    Let the radius of the sphere is R
    Then, by condition,
    1/3 π r2 h = 4/3 π R3 h
    ⇒ 4 x 8 = 4 R3

    Correct Option: A

    Given that, the height and radius of a right circular ,etal cone (solid) are 8 cm and 2 cm, respectively.
    i.e., h = 8 cm and r = 2 cm
    Let the radius of the sphere is R
    Then, by condition,
    1/3 π r2 h = 4/3 π R3 h
    ⇒ 4 x 8 = 4 R3
    ⇒ R3 = (2)3 = ⇒ R = 2
    ∴ Radius odf the sphere = 2 cm



  1. A hospital room is to accommodate 56 patients. It should be done in such a way that every patient gets 2.2 m2 of floor and 8.83 of space. If the length of the room is 14 m, then breadth and height of the room are respectively ?

    Let the breadth and height of room be m and h m, respectively.
    Then, according to the question, l x b = n x Area occupied by one patient
    ⇒ 14 x b = 56 x 22
    ∴ b = (56 x 22)/14 = 8.8 m3
    ∴ h x Area of occupied by one patient = 8.8

    Correct Option: A

    Let the breadth and height of room be m and h m, respectively.
    Then, according to the question, l x b = n x Area occupied by one patient
    ⇒ 14 x b = 56 x 22
    ∴ b = (56 x 22)/14 = 8.8 m3
    ∴ h x Area of occupied by one patient = 8.8
    h = 8.8/2.2
    h = 4 m


  1. Find the area of the iron sheet required to prepare a cone double the height of 12 cm with diameter of the base 14 cm. ?

    r = Radius of the cone = 14/2 = 7 cm
    h = Height of the cone = 12 x 2 = 24 cm
    ∴ Slant height (l) = √r2 + h2
    = √(7)2 + (24)2
    = √49 + 576
    = √625
    = 25 cm
    Area of the sheet = Total surface area
    = (πrl + πr2)

    Correct Option: D

    r = Radius of the cone = 14/2 = 7 cm
    h = Height of the cone = 12 x 2 = 24 cm
    ∴ Slant height (l) = √r2 + h2
    = √(7)2 + (24)2
    = √49 + 576
    = √625
    = 25 cm
    Area of the sheet = Total surface area
    = (πrl + πr2)
    = πr(l + r)
    = (22/7) x 7 x (25 + 7) = 704 sq cm



  1. A copper sphere of diameter 36 cm is drawn into a wire of diameter 4 mm. Find the length of the wire. ?

    Let length of the wire be h According to the question,
    Volume of sphere = Volume of wire
    (4/3) x π x 18 x 18 x 18 = π x (2/10) x (2/10) x h

    Correct Option: D

    Let length of the wire be h According to the question,
    Volume of sphere = Volume of wire
    (4/3) x π x 18 x 18 x 18 = π x (2/10) x (2/10) x h
    ∴ h = (100 x 1944) cm
    = (100 x 1944)/100 m = 1944 m [∵ 1 cm = 1/100 m]
