Since Hameed is getting the five outer faces of the tank covered with tiles, he would need to know the surface area of the tank, to decide on the number of tiles required.
Edge of the cubical tank = 1.5 m = 150 cm (= a)
So, surface area of the tank = 5 x 150 x 150 cm2
Area of each square tile = side x side = 25 x 25 cm2
So, the number of tiles required \(=\frac{\text { surface area of the tank }}{\text { area of each tile }}\)
\(=\frac{5 \times 150 \times 150}{25 \times 25}=180\)
Cost of 1 dozen tiles, i.e., cost of 12 tiles = RS. 360
Therefore, cost of one tile \(=\text { RS. } \frac{360}{12}=\text { RS. } 30\)
So, the cost of 180 tiles = 180 x RS.30 = RS. 5400
3.
Since Mary wants to paste the paper on the outer surface of the box; the quantity of paper required would be equal to the surface area of the box which is of the shape of a cuboid. The dimensions of the box are:
Length =80 cm, Breadth = 40 cm, Height = 20 cm.
The surface area of the box = 2(lb + bh + hl)
= 2[(80 x 40) + (40 x 20) + (20 x 80)] cm2
= 2[3200 + 800 + 1600] cm2
= 2 x 5600 cm2 = 11200 cm2
The area of each sheet of the paper = 40 x 40 cm2
= 1600 cm2
Therefore, number of sheets required \(=\frac{\text { surface area of box }}{\text { area of one sheet of paper }}\)
\(=\frac{11200}{1600}=7\)
So, she would require 7 sheets

1300 cm2

Curved surface area of the tent = 552-2
= 550 m2
Radius(r) = 7 m
\(\therefore \ \pi \times 7\times l=550\)
\(\Rightarrow\) l = 25 m
\(\therefore \ h=\sqrt { { 25 }^{ 2 }-{ 7 }^{ 2 } } \)
= 24 m
Volume of the tent = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 7\times 7\times 24\)
= 1232 m3.
6.
\(\frac { 231 }{ 16 } { m }^{ 3 }\)
7.
(i) Diameter = 14 cm
Radius (r) = \(\frac { 14 }{ 2 } cm=7cm\)
\(\therefore\) Surface area = \(4\pi { r }^{ 2 }\)
\(=4\times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times { \left( 7 \right) }^{ 2 }=616{ cm }^{ 2 }.\)
(ii) Diameter = 21 cm
Radius (r) = \(\frac { 21 }{ 2 } cm\)
\(\therefore\) Surface area = \(4\pi { r }^{ 2 }\)
\(=4\times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times { \left( \frac { 21 }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 2 }=1386{ cm }^{ 2 }.\)
(iii) Diameter = 3.5 m
Radius (r) = \(\frac { 3.5 }{ 2 } m=1.75m\)
\(\therefore\) Surface area = \(4\pi { r }^{ 2 }\)
\(=4\times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times { \left( 1.75 \right) }^{ 2 }\)
\(\\ =38.5{ m }^{ 2 }.\)
8.
(i) 2r = 3.5 m
\(\Rightarrow\) \(r=\frac { 3.5 }{ 2 } m\)
\(\Rightarrow\) r = 1.75 m
h = 10 m
\(\therefore \) Inner curved surface area of the circular well = \(2\pi rh\)
\(=2\times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 1.75\times 10=110{ m }^{ 2 }.\)
(ii) Cost of plastering the curved surface at the rate of Rs 40 per m2 = Rs 110 \(\times\) 40 = Rs 4400.
9.
For a brick
l = 22.5 cm, b = 10 cm,
h = 7.5 cm
\(\therefore \) Total surface area of a brick
= 2 (lb + bh + hl)
= 2 (22.5 \(\times\) 10 + 10 \(\times\) 7.5 + 7.5 \(\times\) 22.5)
= 2 (225 + 75 + 168.75)
= 2(468.75) = 937.5 cm2 = .09375 m2
\(\therefore \) Number of bricks that can be painted out
\(=\frac { 9.375 }{ .09375 } =100.\)
10.
Vol. of hemispherical bowl = \(\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \pi r^{ 3 }\)
\(=\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \pi { \left( \frac { 36 }{ 2 } \right) }^{ 3 }{ cm }^{ 3 }\)
Vol. of cylindrical bottle = \(\pi\)r2h
= \(\pi\)(3)2 \(\times\)6 cm3
Suppose required bottles are x.
\(\therefore \ x=\frac { \frac { 2 }{ 3 } \pi { (18) }^{ 3 } }{ \pi ({ 3) }^{ 3 }\times 6 } =24\)
11.
0.31 km/hour
= 0.31 x 1000 m/hour
= 310 m/ hour
=\(\frac{310}{60}\) m/minute=\(\frac{31}{6}\) m/minute
ஃ Volume of water that falls into the sea in a minute
\(=4 \times60\times\frac{31}{6}=1240 \ m^3\)
12.
For cone
Base radius (r) = 8 m
Height (h) = 6 m
\(\therefore \) Slant height (l) = \(\sqrt { { r }^{ 2 }+{ h }^{ 2 } } \)
\(=\sqrt { { \left( 8 \right) }^{ 2 }+{ \left( 6 \right) }^{ 2 } } =10m\)
\(\therefore \) Curved surface area = \(\pi rl\)
\(=\pi \left( 8 \right) \left( 10 \right) \)
\(\\ =80\pi { m }^{ 2 }\)
For cylinder
Base radius (R) = 8 m
Height (H) = 14 m
\(\therefore \) Curved surface area = \(2\pi RH\)
\(=2\pi \left( 8 \right) \left( 14 \right) \)
\(\\ =224\pi { m }^{ 2 }\)
\(\therefore \) Total curved surface area = Curved surface area of the cone + Curved surface area of the cylinder
\(=80\pi +224\pi =304\pi { m }^{ 2 }\)
\(\\ =304\times 3.14{ m }^{ 2 }=954.56{ m }^{ 2 }\ \)
\(\therefore \) Cost of canvas = 954.56 \(\times\) 50
= Rs 47728
13.
Diameter = 50 cm
Radius (r) = \(\frac { 50 }{ 2 } cm=25cm\)
\( =\frac { 25 }{ 100 } m=\frac { 1 }{ 4 } m\)
Height (h) = 4 m
\(\therefore \) Curved surface area of 1 pillar = \(2\pi rh\)
\(=2\times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times \frac { 1 }{ 4 } \times 4=\frac { 44 }{ 7 } { m }^{ 2 }\)
\(\therefore \) Curved surface area of 10 pillars
\(=\frac { 44 }{ 7 } \times 10{ m }^{ 2 }=\frac { 440 }{ 7 } { m }^{ 2 }\)
\(\therefore \) Cost of painting at the rate of Rs 14 per square metre = \(\frac { 440 }{ 7 } \times 14=\) Rs 880.
14.
For classroom
l = 7 m, b = 6.5 m,
h = 4 m
\(\therefore\) Area to be colour washed
= 2(l + b) h - [3 \(\times\) 1.4 + 3 {2 \(\times\) 1}]
= 2(7 + 6.5) 4 - (4.2 + 6)
= 108 - 10.2
= 97.8 m2
\(\therefore\) Cost of colour washing
= 97.8 \(\times\) 3.50
= Rs 342.30

Volume of right circular cone = \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 2 }h\)
\(=\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times { (6) }^{ 2 }\times 7=\frac { 1 }{ 3 } \times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 36\times 7\)

Given, diameter of football = 5 \(\times\) diameter of cricket ball
If r denotes radius of a football and r' that of a criket ball, then we have
2r = 5\(\times\)(2r')
\(\frac { 2r }{ 2r' } =5\)
or \(\frac { r }{ r' } =5\)
Now, ratio of surface areas\(=\frac { 4\pi { r }^{ 2 } }{ 4\pi { (r') }^{ 2 } } ={ \left( \frac { r }{ r' } \right) }^{ 2 }=\frac { 25 }{ 1 } \)
= 25 : 1
25.

Amount of water displaced = Volume of solid spherical ball
\(\therefore \ Volume\ of\ solid\ spherical\ ball=\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 3 }\)
\(r=\frac { 4.2 }{ 2 } =2.1\) (given)
\(\therefore\) Volume of solid sperical ball=\(\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi ({ 2.1) }^{ 3 }\)
\(=\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times { (2.1) }^{ 3 }\quad { cm }^{ 3 }\)
\(=\frac { 38808 }{ 1000 } litre\)
\(\therefore\) Amount of water displaced = 38808 litre (\(\because\)1 litre = 1000 cm3)
26.
( )
Given, Area of Sphere=Volume of sphere
\(4\pi { r }^{ 2 }=\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 3 }\)
where r is the radius of sphere
\(\Rightarrow\) r = 3 cm [on solving]
\(\therefore\) Diameter = 2r = 6 cm.
27.

Given diameter of hemisphere = 14 cm
\(\therefore\) radius = 7 cm
\(\therefore\) Curved surface area = 2\(\pi\)r2
