1.
Let internal radius of the pipe = x cm
Speed of water = 2.52 km/h = 2520 m/h
\(\therefore \) Volume of water that flows in half an hour = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \pi r^{ h }h\)
\(=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \pi \times \frac { x }{ 100 } \times \frac { x }{ 100 } \times 2520=\frac { 126\pi x^{ 2 } }{ 1000 } m^{ 3 }\)
Volume of water cylindrical tank
= \(\pi \times \frac { 40 }{ 100 } \times \frac { 40 }{ 100 } \times 3.15\quad m^{ 3 }\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac { 126\pi x^{ 2 } }{ 1000 } =\pi \times \frac { 40 }{ 100 } \times \frac { 40 }{ 100 } \times 3.15\)
\(x^{ 2 }=\frac { 40 }{ 100 } \times \frac { 40 }{ 100 } \times 3.15\times \frac { 1000 }{ 126 } \)
\(x^{ 2 }=4\Rightarrow x=2cm\)
\(\therefore \) Internal diameter = 4cm
2.
Diameter of cylinder = 4m \(\Rightarrow \) Radius of cylinder = 2m
Height of cylinder = 2.1 m
Slant height of cone = 2.8 m
Area of canvas used = C.S.A of cylinder + C.S.A of cone
\(=2\pi rh+\pi rl=\pi r\left[ 2h+l \right] \)
\(=\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 2\left[ 2\times 2.1+2.8 \right] =\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 2\left[ 4.2+2.8 \right] \)
\(=\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 2\times 7=44m^{ 2 }\)
Cost of 1 m2 of canvas = Rs 500
\(\therefore \) Total cost = Rs 500 X 44 = Rs 22000
Volume of air = volume of cone + volume of cylinder
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \pi r^{ 2 }H+\pi r^{ 2 }h\left[ \frac { 1 }{ 3 } H+h \right] \)
Height of cone = \(\sqrt { l^{ 2 }-r^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { (2.8)^{ 2 }-2^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 7.84-4 } =\sqrt { 3.84 } =1.95\)
\(=\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 4\times 2.75=34.57m^{ 2 }\)
3.
Given, solid is a combination of a cone and a hemisphere and it is placed into a right circular cylinder.

Height of the cylinder, h = 180 cm = 1.8 m
\(\left[\because 1 \mathrm{~cm}=\frac{1}{100} \mathrm{~m}\right]\)
Radius of the cylinder, r = 60 cm = 0.6 m
\(\therefore\) Volume of water filled in a right circular cylinder = \(\pi\) r2 h
\(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{22}{7} \times 0.6 \times 0.6 \times 1.8 \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{14.256}{7} \mathrm{~m}^3 \end{aligned}\)
For conical portion,
Height, h1 = 120 cm = 1.2 m
Radius, r1 = 60 cm = 0.6 m
For hemispherical portion,
Radius, r2 = 60 cm = 0.6 m
\(\therefore\) Volume of the solid = Volume of the cone + Volume of the hemisphere
\( =\frac{1}{3}\times \pi r_{1}^{2}k_{1}+\frac{2}{3}\pi r_{2}^{1}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times(0.6)^2 \times(1.2)+\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times(0.6)^3 \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{22}{21} \times(0.6)^2[1.2+2 \times 0.6)=\frac{22}{21} \times 0.36(1.2+1.2) \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{22}{21} \times 0.36 \times 2.4=\frac{19.008}{21}=\frac{6.336}{7} \mathrm{~m}^3 \end{aligned}\)
Clearly, volume of water left in the cylinder = volume of water filled in a right circular cylinder - volume of the solid
\(=\frac{14.256}{7}-\frac{6.336}{7}=\frac{7.92}{7}=\)1.131429 m3 = 1.131 m3
4.

Let the side of the equilateral triangle be a.
Area of equilateral triangle = 17320.5 cm2
\(\sqrt3/4(s)^2= 17320.5\)
\(1.7320/4a^2 = 17320.5\)
a2 = 4 x 10000
a = 200 cm
Each sector is of measure 60°
Area of sector ADEF \(=\frac{60^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi \times r^{2}\)
\(\begin{array}{l} =\frac{1}{6} \times \pi \times(100)^{2} \\ =\frac{3.14 \times 10000}{6} \\ =\frac{15700}{3} \mathrm{~cm}^{2} \end{array}\)
Area of shaded region = Area of equilateral triangle − 3 × Area of each sector
\(=17320.5-3 \times \frac{15700}{3}\)
= 17320.5-15700 = 1620.5 cm2
5.

It can be observed that these designs are segments of the circle.
Consider segment APB. Chord AB is a side of the hexagon. Each chord will substitute 360º/6 = 60º at the centre of the circle.
In ΔOAB,
∠OAB = ∠OBA (As OA = OB)
∠AOB = 60°
∠OAB + ∠OBA + ∠AOB = 180°
2∠OAB = 180° − 60° = 120°
∠OAB = 60°
Therefore, ΔOAB is an equilateral triangle.
Area of ΔOAB \(=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times(\text { side })^{2}\)
\(=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times(28)^{2}=196 \sqrt{3}=196 \times 1.7=333.2 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}\)
Area of sector OAPB \(=\frac{60^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^{2}\)
\(=\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 28 \times 28 \)
\(=\frac{1232}{3} \mathrm{~cm}^{2}\)
Area of segment APB = Area of sector OAPB − Area of ΔOAB
\(=\left(\frac{1232}{3}-333.2\right) \mathrm{cm}^{2}\)
Therefore are of designs \(=6 \times\left(\frac{1232}{3}-333.2\right) \mathrm{cm}^{2}\)
\(=(2464-1999.2) c m^{2}\)
= 464.8 cm2
Cost of making 1 cm2 designs = Rs 0.35
Cost of making 464.76 cm2 designs = 464.8 x 0.35 = Rs 162.68
Therefore, the cost of making such designs is Rs 162.68.
6.
Given, side of a square = 15 m
\(\therefore\) Area of square = (15)2 = 225 m2 [\(\because\)area of square = (side)2]
also given, length of rope = 5 m
\(\therefore\) Radius of arc = 5 m
(i) Area of the field graze by the horse,
\(A_1=\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r^2=\frac{90^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times 3.14 \times(5)^2\)
[\(\because\) each angle of a square is 90°]
\(=\frac{3.14 \times 25}{4}=\frac{78.5}{4}=19.625 \mathrm{~cm}^2\)
(ii) If length of rope = 10 m = r1 (say)
then, area of the field graze by the horse,
\(\begin{aligned} A_2 & =\frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}} \times \pi r_1^2=\frac{90^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times 3.14 \times(10)^2 \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} =\frac{3.14 \times 100}{4}=\frac{314}{4}=78.5 \mathrm{~cm}^2 \end{aligned}\)
\(\therefore\) Required increase in the grazing area
= A2 - A1
= 78.5 - 19.625 = 58.875 cm2
7.
Let ABCD be a parallelogram circumscribing a circle.
To prove ABCD is a rhombus.
i.e. to prove AB = BC = CD= DA
Proof We know that the tangents to circle from an external point are equal in length.

\(\therefore\) AM = AP, BM = BN, CO = CN and DO = DP
On adding all above equations, we get
(AM + BM) + (CO + DO) = AP + BN + CN + DP
\(\Rightarrow\) AB + CD = (AP + PD) + (BN + NC)
= AD + BC ....(i)
Given, ABCD is a parallelogram.
\(\therefore\) AB = CD and BC = AD ....(ii)
[\(\because\) opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal]
Then, from Eq. (i), we get
2 AB = 2BC
\(\Rightarrow\) AB = BC ...(iii)
From Eqs. (ii) and (iii), we get
AB = BC = CD = DA
\(\Rightarrow\) ABCD is a rhombus.
Hence, the parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus.
Hence proved.
8.
Let C1 and C2 be rwo circles of radii, r1=3 cm and r2 = 5 cm and having common centre O.
Now, let AB be the chord of circle C2 such that it touches the circle C1 at point D. Clearly, AB be the tangent to the circle C1, at point D.

\(\therefore\) OD \(\perp\)AB [\(\because\) radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact]
\(\Rightarrow\) AD = BD [ \(\because\) perpendicular from centre to the chord bisect the chord]
Now, in right angled \(\Delta\)ODB,
OB2 = OD2 + DB2 [by Pythagoras theorem]
\(\Rightarrow\) 52 = 32 + DB2 \(\Rightarrow\) DB2 = 25 - 9 = 16
\(\Rightarrow\) DB = 4 cm [ taking positive square root]
\(\therefore\) Length of chord = AB = 2 AD = 2 \(\times\)4 = 8 cm
9.
OP = Radius of the circle OA = 5 cm; AP = 4 cm
OA2 = AP2 + OP2 [By pythagoras theorem]
52 = 42 + OP2
⇒ 25 = 16 + OP2 ⇒ 25 - 16 = OP2 ⇒ 9 = OP2 ⇒ OP = \(\sqrt9\) = 3
Radius = 3 cm

10.
(i) (b): Let the radius of outer most circle be R.
Outer most circumference = 308 m [Given]
\(\Rightarrow 2 \pi R=308 \Rightarrow 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times R=308\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad R=\frac{308 \times 7}{2 \times 22}=49 \mathrm{~m}\)
(ii) (c): Let the radius of inner most circle be r
Inner most circumference = 264 m [Given]
\(\Rightarrow 2 \pi r=264 \)
\(\Rightarrow \quad 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r=264 \Rightarrow r=\frac{264 \times 7}{2 \times 22}=42 \mathrm{~m}\)
(iii) (a): Width of the track = Radius of outer most track - Radius of inner most track = 49 - 42 = 7 m
(iv) (d): Area of the race track = Area of outer circle - Area of inner circle
\(=\pi\left(R^{2}-r^{2}\right)=\pi\left[(49)^{2}-(42)^{2}\right] \)
\(v=\frac{22}{7}[2401-1764]=2002 \mathrm{~m}^{2}\)
(v) (b): Cost of painting the whole race track
= Rs (6 x 2002) = Rs 12012.
