$A$ cylinder is closed at both ends by hemispheres. The radius of the cylinder is $21 \, cm$ and the total height of the article is $92 \, cm$. Find the total surface area of the article (in $cm^2$).
A
$12244$
B
$12354$
C
$12144$
D
$22144$

Solution

(C) The article consists of a cylinder and two hemispheres at its ends.
Given: Radius $r = 21 \, cm$,Total height $H = 92 \, cm$.
The height of the cylindrical part $h = H - 2r = 92 - 2(21) = 92 - 42 = 50 \, cm$.
The total surface area of the article = (Curved surface area of cylinder) + $2$ $\times$ (Curved surface area of hemisphere).
Total surface area = $2\pi rh + 2(2\pi r^2) = 2\pi r(h + 2r)$.
Substituting the values: $2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times (50 + 2(21)) = 2 \times 22 \times 3 \times (50 + 42) = 132 \times 92 = 12,144 \, cm^2$.

The radius of a hemispherical dome of a temple is $21\, m$. Find the cost of painting its outer surface at the rate of ₹ $80/m^2$. (in ₹)
A
$22555$
B
$251760$
C
$221650$
D
$221760$

Solution

(D) The radius $(r)$ of the hemispherical dome is $21\, m$.
The curved surface area $(CSA)$ of a hemisphere is given by the formula $2\pi r^2$.
$CSA = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times 21$
$CSA = 2 \times 22 \times 3 \times 21$
$CSA = 44 \times 63 = 2772\, m^2$.
The cost of painting is ₹ $80$ per $m^2$.
Total cost = $CSA \times \text{Rate} = 2772 \times 80 = 2,21,760$.
Thus,the total cost of painting the outer surface is ₹ $2,21,760$.

A
$1716$
B
$1516$
C
$1226$
D
$1698$

Solution

(A) Given: Radius $(r)$ = $7\, cm$,Height $(h)$ = $24\, cm$.
First,find the slant height $(l)$ of the cone: $l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2} = \sqrt{7^2 + 24^2} = \sqrt{49 + 576} = \sqrt{625} = 25\, cm$.
The surface area to be painted consists of the curved surface area of the cone and the curved surface area of the hemisphere.
Curved Surface Area of Cone = $\pi rl = \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 25 = 550\, cm^2$.
Curved Surface Area of Hemisphere = $2\pi r^2 = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7 = 308\, cm^2$.
Total Surface Area = $550 + 308 = 858\, cm^2$.
Cost of painting = Total Surface Area $\times$ Rate = $858 \times 2 = ₹ 1716$.

B
$11220$
C
$14560$
D
$18450$

Solution

(B) The article consists of a cylinder with two cones attached at its ends.
Radius of cylinder $(r)$ = $21 \, cm$.
Height of cylinder $(h)$ = $50 \, cm$.
Height of cone $(H)$ = $28 \, cm$.
Slant height of cone $(l)$ = $\sqrt{r^2 + H^2} = \sqrt{21^2 + 28^2} = \sqrt{441 + 784} = \sqrt{1225} = 35 \, cm$.
The total surface area of the article = (Curved surface area of cylinder) + $2 \times$ (Curved surface area of cone).
Curved surface area of cylinder = $2 \pi r h = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times 50 = 44 \times 3 \times 50 = 6600 \, cm^2$.
Curved surface area of one cone = $\pi r l = \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times 35 = 22 \times 3 \times 35 = 2310 \, cm^2$.
Total surface area = $6600 + 2 \times 2310 = 6600 + 4620 = 11220 \, cm^2$.

A
$4175$
B
$4150$
C
$4125$
D
$4165$

Solution

(C) Given: Radius $(r)$ = $3.5\, m$,Height $(h)$ = $12\, m$.
First,find the slant height $(l)$ of the cone using the formula $l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}$.
$l = \sqrt{(3.5)^2 + (12)^2} = \sqrt{12.25 + 144} = \sqrt{156.25} = 12.5\, m$.
The curved surface area $(CSA)$ of the cone is given by $\pi rl$.
$CSA = \frac{22}{7} \times 3.5 \times 12.5 = 22 \times 0.5 \times 12.5 = 11 \times 12.5 = 137.5\, m^2$.
The cost of painting is at the rate of ₹ $30/m^2$.
Total cost = $137.5 \times 30 = ₹ 4125$.

A
$17600$
B
$15200$
C
$15630$
D
$21600$

Solution

(A) The article consists of a cylinder,a hemisphere,and a cone.
Radius of cylinder $(r)$ = $28 \, cm$,Height of cylinder $(h_1)$ = $54.5 \, cm$.
Radius of hemisphere $(r)$ = $28 \, cm$.
Radius of cone $(r)$ = $28 \, cm$,Height of cone $(h_2)$ = $21 \, cm$.
Slant height of cone $(l)$ = $\sqrt{r^2 + h_2^2} = \sqrt{28^2 + 21^2} = \sqrt{784 + 441} = \sqrt{1225} = 35 \, cm$.
The total surface area is the sum of the curved surface area of the cylinder,the curved surface area of the hemisphere,and the curved surface area of the cone.
Total Surface Area = $2\pi rh_1 + 2\pi r^2 + \pi rl$.
Total Surface Area = $\pi r (2h_1 + 2r + l) = \frac{22}{7} \times 28 \times (2 \times 54.5 + 2 \times 28 + 35)$.
Total Surface Area = $22 \times 4 \times (109 + 56 + 35) = 88 \times 200 = 17600 \, cm^2$.

EasyMCQ
$A$ cylinder with radius $6 \, cm$ is closed at one end by a $8 \, cm$ high cone and is open at the other end. The total height of the article is $20 \, cm$. Find the total surface area of the article. $(\pi = 3.14)$ (in $cm^2$)
A
$660.44$
B
$695.56$
C
$640.56$
D
$740.56$

Solution

(C) The article consists of a cylinder and a cone joined together.
Given: Radius of cylinder and cone $(r) = 6 \, cm$,Height of cone $(h_{cone}) = 8 \, cm$,Total height of article $= 20 \, cm$.
Height of cylinder $(h_{cyl}) = 20 \, cm - 8 \, cm = 12 \, cm$.
Slant height of cone $(l) = \sqrt{r^2 + h_{cone}^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10 \, cm$.
Total Surface Area = (Curved Surface Area of Cylinder) + (Curved Surface Area of Cone) + (Area of base of cylinder).
Total Surface Area = $(2 \pi r h_{cyl}) + (\pi r l) + (\pi r^2)$.
Total Surface Area = $\pi r (2 h_{cyl} + l + r) = 3.14 \times 6 \times (2 \times 12 + 10 + 6)$.
Total Surface Area = $18.84 \times (24 + 10 + 6) = 18.84 \times 40 = 753.60 \, cm^2$.
Wait,re-evaluating: The article is open at the other end,so the base area is not included.
Surface Area = (Curved Surface Area of Cylinder) + (Curved Surface Area of Cone) = $2 \pi r h_{cyl} + \pi r l$.
Surface Area = $\pi r (2 h_{cyl} + l) = 3.14 \times 6 \times (2 \times 12 + 10) = 18.84 \times (24 + 10) = 18.84 \times 34 = 640.56 \, cm^2$.

EasyMCQ
The slant height of a cone with a hemispherical base is $5 \, cm$. If the total surface area of the article is $103.62 \, cm^2$,find its total height. $(\pi = 3.14)$ (in $cm$)
A
$8$
B
$5$
C
$6$
D
$7$

Solution

(D) Let the radius of the hemispherical base be $r$ and the slant height of the cone be $l = 5 \, cm$.
The total surface area of the article is the sum of the curved surface area of the cone and the curved surface area of the hemisphere.
Total Surface Area $= \pi rl + 2\pi r^2 = 103.62 \, cm^2$.
Given $\pi = 3.14$,we have $3.14 \times r \times 5 + 2 \times 3.14 \times r^2 = 103.62$.
$15.7r + 6.28r^2 = 103.62$.
Dividing by $3.14$: $5r + 2r^2 = 33$.
$2r^2 + 5r - 33 = 0$.
Solving the quadratic equation: $2r^2 + 11r - 6r - 33 = 0 \implies r(2r + 11) - 3(2r + 11) = 0$.
$(r - 3)(2r + 11) = 0$. Since $r > 0$,$r = 3 \, cm$.
The height of the cone $h$ is given by $h = \sqrt{l^2 - r^2} = \sqrt{5^2 - 3^2} = \sqrt{25 - 9} = \sqrt{16} = 4 \, cm$.
The total height of the article is the sum of the height of the cone and the radius of the hemisphere: $H = h + r = 4 + 3 = 7 \, cm$.

The base of a cone with radius $15 \, cm$ and height $20 \, cm$ is hemispherical. Find the total surface area of this article. $(\pi = 3.14)$ (in $cm^2$) (in $.5$)
A
$2590$
B
$2950$
C
$2310$
D
$1350$

Solution

(A) Given: Radius of the cone $(r)$ = $15 \, cm$,Height of the cone $(h)$ = $20 \, cm$.
First,calculate the slant height $(l)$ of the cone: $l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2} = \sqrt{15^2 + 20^2} = \sqrt{225 + 400} = \sqrt{625} = 25 \, cm$.
The total surface area of the article consists of the curved surface area of the cone and the curved surface area of the hemisphere.
Curved surface area of the cone = $\pi rl = 3.14 \times 15 \times 25 = 1177.5 \, cm^2$.
Curved surface area of the hemisphere = $2\pi r^2 = 2 \times 3.14 \times 15^2 = 2 \times 3.14 \times 225 = 1413 \, cm^2$.
Total surface area = $1177.5 + 1413 = 2590.5 \, cm^2$.

$A$ tent is cylindrical at the base and conical at the top. Its radius is $1.2\, m$. The height of the cylindrical part is $4\, m$ and the height of the conical part is $3.5\, m$. How many square metres of cloth is used to make the tent?
A
$12$
B
$24$
C
$44$
D
$54$

Solution

(C) The total surface area of the tent is the sum of the curved surface area of the cylinder and the curved surface area of the cone.
Radius $(r)$ = $1.2\, m$.
Height of cylinder $(h_1)$ = $4\, m$.
Height of cone $(h_2)$ = $3.5\, m$.
Slant height of the cone $(l)$ = $\sqrt{r^2 + h_2^2} = \sqrt{(1.2)^2 + (3.5)^2} = \sqrt{1.44 + 12.25} = \sqrt{13.69} = 3.7\, m$.
Curved surface area of cylinder = $2\pi rh_1 = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 1.2 \times 4 \approx 30.17\, m^2$.
Curved surface area of cone = $\pi rl = \frac{22}{7} \times 1.2 \times 3.7 \approx 13.95\, m^2$.
Total area = $30.17 + 13.95 = 44.12\, m^2$.
Rounding to the nearest whole number,the cloth used is $44\, m^2$.

A
$7920$
B
$8120$
C
$7520$
D
$8520$

Solution

(A) The article consists of a cylinder and two hemispheres attached at both ends.
Radius of the cylinder $(r)$ = $21 \, cm$.
Height of the cylinder $(h)$ = $18 \, cm$.
Radius of the hemispheres $(r)$ = $21 \, cm$.
The total surface area of the article = (Curved surface area of the cylinder) + $2 \times$ (Curved surface area of the hemisphere).
Curved surface area of the cylinder = $2 \pi r h = 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times 18 = 2 \times 22 \times 3 \times 18 = 2376 \, cm^2$.
Curved surface area of two hemispheres = $2 \times (2 \pi r^2) = 4 \pi r^2 = 4 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times 21 = 4 \times 22 \times 3 \times 21 = 5544 \, cm^2$.
Total surface area = $2376 + 5544 = 7920 \, cm^2$.

$A$ toy is in the form of a cone surmounted on a hemisphere. The radius of the cone as well as the hemisphere is $3.5\, cm$ and the total height of the toy is $15.5\, cm$. Find its total surface area (in $cm^2$).
A
$294.5$
B
$314.1$
C
$214.5$
D
$200.5$

Solution

(C) Given: Radius of hemisphere $(r)$ = $3.5\, cm = \frac{7}{2}\, cm$.
Total height of the toy = $15.5\, cm$.
Height of the cone $(h)$ = Total height - Radius of hemisphere = $15.5 - 3.5 = 12\, cm$.
Slant height of the cone $(l)$ = $\sqrt{r^2 + h^2} = \sqrt{(3.5)^2 + 12^2} = \sqrt{12.25 + 144} = \sqrt{156.25} = 12.5\, cm$.
Total surface area of the toy = Curved surface area of cone + Curved surface area of hemisphere.
$= \pi rl + 2\pi r^2 = \pi r(l + 2r)$.
$= \frac{22}{7} \times 3.5 \times (12.5 + 2 \times 3.5) = 11 \times (12.5 + 7) = 11 \times 19.5 = 214.5\, cm^2$.

$2 \pi r^2 + \pi r h$
B
$2 \pi r(r + h)$
C
$2 \pi r^2 + 2 \pi r h$

Solution

(B) $5$-rupee coin is shaped like a cylinder with a very small height $h$.
The total surface area of a cylinder is given by the sum of the areas of its two circular bases and its curved surface area.
Total Surface Area $= 2 \times (\text{Area of base}) + \text{Curved Surface Area}$.
Total Surface Area $= 2(\pi r^2) + 2 \pi r h$.
Factoring out $2 \pi r$,we get $2 \pi r(r + h)$.
Thus,the correct formula is $2 \pi r(r + h)$.

A
$25: 9$
B
$9: 25$
C
$27: 125$
D
$125: 27$

Solution

(B) Let the radii of the two spheres be $r_1$ and $r_2$. Given that the ratio of their radii is $r_1 : r_2 = 3 : 5$.
The surface area of a sphere is given by the formula $S = 4\pi r^2$.
The ratio of the surface areas of the two spheres is $\frac{S_1}{S_2} = \frac{4\pi r_1^2}{4\pi r_2^2} = \left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^2$.
Substituting the given ratio: $\frac{S_1}{S_2} = \left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^2 = \frac{9}{25}$.
Thus,the ratio of their surface areas is $9: 25$.

The radii of a frustum of a cone are $10 \, cm$ and $7 \, cm$. If its height is $4 \, cm$,its curved surface area is $\dots \dots \dots \pi \, cm^2$.
A
$17$
B
$51$
C
$85$
D
$68$

Solution

(C) Given: Radii of the frustum are $R = 10 \, cm$ and $r = 7 \, cm$. The height $h = 4 \, cm$.
First,we calculate the slant height $l$ of the frustum using the formula $l = \sqrt{h^2 + (R - r)^2}$.
Substituting the values: $l = \sqrt{4^2 + (10 - 7)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 3^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \, cm$.
The curved surface area of a frustum of a cone is given by the formula $CSA = \pi (R + r) l$.
Substituting the values: $CSA = \pi (10 + 7) \times 5 = \pi (17) \times 5 = 85\pi \, cm^2$.
Thus,the curved surface area is $85\pi \, cm^2$.

Solution

(A) The formula for the curved surface area $(CSA)$ of a cone is given by $CSA = \pi r l$,where $r$ is the radius and $l$ is the slant height.
Given: $r = 12 \, cm$ and $l = 20 \, cm$.
Substituting the values into the formula:
$CSA = \pi \times 12 \times 20$
$CSA = 240 \pi \, cm^2$.
Therefore,the curved surface area is $240 \pi \, cm^2$.

$6 l^{2}$
B
$5 l^{2}$
C
$l^{3}$
D

Solution

(A) cube is a three-dimensional shape having $6$ identical square faces.
If the side length of the cube is $l$,then the area of one square face is $l \times l = l^{2}$.
Since there are $6$ such faces in a closed cube,the total surface area is the sum of the areas of all $6$ faces.
Therefore,Total Surface Area $= 6 \times l^{2} = 6 l^{2}$.

According to the Pythagorean theorem,the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Therefore,$l^{2} = h^{2} + r^{2}$.
Taking the square root on both sides,we get $l = \sqrt{h^{2} + r^{2}}$.

C
$2 \pi r^{2}$
D
$\pi r l$

Solution

(B) The Total Surface Area $(TSA)$ of a cone is given by the formula: $TSA = \pi r(r + l) = \pi r^2 + \pi rl$.
The Curved Surface Area $(CSA)$ of a cone is given by the formula: $CSA = \pi rl$.
To find how much the $TSA$ exceeds the $CSA$,we subtract the $CSA$ from the $TSA$:
Difference $= TSA - CSA$
Difference $= (\pi r^2 + \pi rl) - (\pi rl)$
Difference $= \pi r^2 + \pi rl - \pi rl$
Difference $= \pi r^2$.
Thus,the total surface area of a cone exceeds its curved surface area by $\pi r^2$.

Let $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ be the radii of the two circular ends of the frustum,and $l$ be the slant height of the frustum.
The formula for the Curved Surface Area $(CSA)$ of a frustum of a cone is derived from the difference between the lateral surface area of the original cone and the smaller cone removed from the top.

$1$. The lateral surface area of a frustum is given by $\pi l(r_{1} + r_{2})$,where $l$ is the slant height and $r_{1}, r_{2}$ are the radii of the two circular bases.
$2$. The area of the top circular base is $\pi r_{1}^{2}$.

B
$A = 2 \pi r(r + h)$
C

The total surface area $(TSA)$ of a cylinder with radius $r$ and height $h$ is the sum of its curved surface area and the areas of its two circular bases.
$TSA = \text{Curved Surface Area} + 2 \times \text{Area of circular base}$
$TSA = 2 \pi r h + 2 \pi r^2$
By taking $2 \pi r$ as a common factor,we get:
$TSA = 2 \pi r(r + h)$
Therefore,the correct formula is $A = 2 \pi r(r + h)$.

Height $(h)$ = $10 \, cm$
Substituting the values into the formula:

Solution

(B) The base of a cylinder is a circle. The area of a circle is given by the formula $A = \pi r^{2}$.
Given that the area of the base is $616\,cm^{2}$.
So,$616 = \frac{22}{7} \times r^{2}$.
Rearranging the equation to solve for $r^{2}$:
$r^{2} = 616 \times \frac{7}{22}$.
$r^{2} = 28 \times 7$.
$r^{2} = 196$.
Taking the square root of both sides:
$r = \sqrt{196} = 14\,cm$.
Therefore,the radius of the base of the cylinder is $14\,cm$.
