  2. 12 m

  3. 16 m

  4. 14 m

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Length of the longest pole that can be put in a room $=$ Length of the diagonal inside the room.


Length of the diagonal $=\sqrt{l^2+b^2+h^2}$
$=\sqrt{12^2+(3\sqrt3)^2+5^2}$
$=\sqrt{144+27+25}$
$=\sqrt{196}$
$=14\ m$

  1. $ \displaystyle 10\sqrt{6} $ cm

  2. $ \displaystyle 10\sqrt{3} $ cm

  3. $ \displaystyle 10\sqrt{2} $ cm

  4. 12 cm

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given the vertical height of cone is 40 cm and radius is 30 cm 

Then  surface area of cone=$\pi rh=\pi \times 30\times 40=1200 \pi cm^{2}$
The surface area of cone =covered surface area of sphere
$\therefore \pi R^{2}=1200 \pi \Rightarrow R^{2}=300\Rightarrow R=10\sqrt{3}cm$
Then the radius of sphere =$10\sqrt{3}cm$

maths solids surface area of a cone surface area of cone the surface area of a cone

  1. RS 620

  2. Rs 600

  3. Rs 640

  4. Rs 660

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Given that conical tent of canvas height is 8 cm and diameter of base is 12 m

Then radius of base =$\frac{12}{2}=6 m$
Then area of conical tent =$\pi r(\sqrt{r^{2}+h^{2}})= \frac{22}{7}\times 6\times \sqrt{(10)^{2}+(6)^{2}}\Rightarrow 60\times \frac{22}{7}cm^{2}$
If cost of canvas is 3.50 per sq cm 
Then cost of canvas=$\times 60\times \frac{22}{7}\times 3.5= Rs 660 $

  2. 415 $ \displaystyle m^{2} $

  3. 312 $ \displaystyle m^{2} $

  4. 468 $ \displaystyle m^{2} $

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given the vertical height of cone is 8 m and area of base is 156 sq m

Let radius of cone is r m 
Then base area =$\pi r^{2}=156\Rightarrow r^{2}=156 \pi  m$
And the volume of cone=$\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h=\frac{1}{3}\times 156\pi \times 8=416 m^{3}$

A conical tent of radius of 12 m and height 16 m is to be made, then the cost of canvas required at the rate Rs 10 per $ \displaystyle   m^{2}   $ is

  1. RS 7445

  2. Rs 7543

  3. Rs 7550

  4. Rs 7500

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given the radius a of height of tent is 12 m and 16 m respt 

Then slant height of tent s=$\sqrt{r^{2}+h^{2}}=\sqrt{(12)^{2}+(16)^{2}}=\sqrt{144+256}=\sqrt{400}=20 m$
Then covered surface area of tent=$\pi rs=3.143\times 12\times 20=754.30 m^{2}$
If cost of canvas is Rs 10 per sq m
Then total cost =$754.30\times10=7543 RS

Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given 84 cm is the height of right circular cone and diameter is 70 cm 

Then radius of  right circular cone=$\frac{70}{2}=35 cm$
Then curved surface area of a right circular cone =$\pi r(\sqrt{r^{2}+h^{2}})=\frac{22}{7}\times 35\left ( \sqrt{(35)^{2}+(84)^{2}} \right )=110\left ( \sqrt{7056+1225} \right )=110\times 91=10010$ sq cm

  4. 70 $ \displaystyle \pi m^{2} $

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given that slant height of a right circular cone is 10 cm and its height is 8 cm 

Then radius of cone $R^{2}=(10)^{2}-(8)^{2}=100-64=36\Rightarrow R=6 cm$
Then curved surface area of right circular cone =$\pi rl=\pi \times 6\times 10==60\pi cm^{2}$

Explanation:

Given height of cone is 24 cm and radius is 7 cm 

Then sheet required = surface area of cone =$\pi r(\sqrt{r^{2}+h^{2}})=2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 7(\sqrt{(24)^{2}+(7)^{2}})=2\times 22\times 25=550 cm^{2}$

  2. 48 $ \displaystyle cm^{2} $

  3. 49 $ \displaystyle cm^{2} $

  4. 50 $ \displaystyle cm^{2} $

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given the vertical height is 4 cm and diameter is 6 cm

Then radius =$\frac{6}{2}=3$
And slant height =$l=\sqrt{r^{2}+h^{2}}=\sqrt{(3)^{2}+(4)^{2}}=\sqrt{9+16}=\sqrt{25}=5$ cm
Then curved surface area of cone =$\pi rL=\pi \times 3\times 5=3.14\times 5\times 3=47.1 cm^{2}$
