View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
Curved surface area = 2πr2
Correct Option: A
Curved surface area = 2πr2
= 2π x 14 x 14 = 2 x (22/7) x 14 x 14
= 2 x 22 x 2 x 14
= 88 x 14
= 1232 sq cm
- What will be the difference between total surface area and curved surface area of a hemisphere having 2 cm diameter ?

Given,
Diameter = 2 cm
∴ r = 1 cm
Now, Total surface area of hemisphere = 3πr2
and curved surface area = 2πr2
Required difference = 3πr2 - 2πr2 = πr2Correct Option: C
Given,
Diameter = 2 cm
∴ r = 1 cm
Now, Total surface area of hemisphere = 3πr2
and curved surface area = 2πr2
Required difference = 3πr2 - 2πr2 = πr2
= π x 12 = π sq cm
- A prism and a pyramid have the same base and the same height. Find the ratio of the volumes of the prism and the pyramid ?
-
View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
Volume of the prism = (Area of the base ) x (Height)
Volume of the pyramid = 1/3 (Area of the base ) x (Height)Correct Option: C
Volume of the prism = (Area of the base ) x (Height)
Volume of the pyramid = 1/3 (Area of the base ) x (Height)
Required ratio = [A x H] / [(1/3) x A x H]
Therefore, Ratio of the volumes of the prism and the pyramid = 3 : 1.
- A prism has the base a right angled triangle whose sides adjacent to the right angle are 10 cm and 12 cm long. The height of the prism is 20 cm. The density of the material of the prism is 6 g/cu cm. The weight of the prism is ?

View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum
Volume of prism = Area of base x Height
Weight of prism = volume x densityCorrect Option: D
Volume of prism = Area of base x Height
= (1/2) x 10 x 12 x 20
= 1200 cm2
∴ Weight of prism = 1200 x 6
= 7200 g
= 7.2 kg
- The perimeter of the triangular base of a right prism is 60 cm and the sides of the base are in the ratio 5 : 12 : 13. Then, its volume will be (height of the prism being 60 cm). ?

Let the sides of the base are 5k, 12k and 13k, respectively.
Given, perimeter of base = 60 cm
⇒ 5k + 12k + 13k = 60Correct Option: A
Let the sides of the base are 5k, 12k and 13k, respectively.
Given, perimeter of base = 60 cm
⇒ 5k + 12k + 13k = 60
∴ k = 60/30 = 2
The sides of base are 10 cm, 24 cm 26 cm.
∴ Volume of prism = (1/2) x 10 x 24 x 50 = 6000 cm3
