A wall 24 m long, 0.4 m thick and 6 m high is constructed with the bricks each of dimensions 25 cm \times 16 cm \times 10 cm. If the mortar occupies1/10 th of the volume of the wall, then find the number of bricks used in constructing the wall.

Answer 12960

Solution

            Length of wall =24 m =24 \times 100 =2400 cm         ( because 1m = 100cm )

            Breadth of wall =0.4m =0.4 \times 100 =40 cm

            Height of wall = 6m = 6 \times 100 = 600cm

            The volume of wall = length × breadth × height

                        =2400 \times 40 \times 600

                        =5760000cm^3

     \text{ Mortar occupied}=\frac{5760000}{10} =5760000cm^3

           Remaining volume = 57600000 – 5760000 = 51840000 cm3

            Length of brick = 25 cm

            Breadth of brick = 16cm

            Height of brick = 10cm

            Volume of brick = length × breadth × height

                                    = 25 × 16 × 10 = 4000 cm3

            \text{Number of bricks}=\left [ \frac{\text{remaining volume} }{\text {volume of brick}} \right ]=\frac{5184000}{4000}=12960                      

            Hence the number of bricks is 12960

How many spherical lead shots each of diameter 4.2 cm can be obtained from a solid rectangular lead piece with dimensions 66 cm, 42 cm and 21 cm.

Answer 1501

Solution

            It is given that the length, breadth and height of rectangular solid is 66cm, 42cm and 21cm respectively.

            Volume of solid rectangular lead piece = l \times b \times h

                        66 \times 42 \times 21

                        =5821 cm^3

            The diameter of spherical lead shot =4.2

            The radius of spherical lead shot

=\frac{4.2}{2}=2.1 cm

           \text{ The volume of lead shot }=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

                        =\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (2.1)^3=38.77 cm^3

        \text{ Number of lead shot can be obtained}=\frac{\text {volume of lead piece}}{\text{volume of lead shot}}

                        =\frac{58212}{38.77}=1501

            Hence 1501 lead shot can be obtained from the lead piece of dimensions 66cm, 42cm and 21cm

Marbles of diameter 1.4 cm are dropped into a cylindrical beaker of diameter 7 cm containing some water. Find the number of marbles that should be dropped into the beaker so that the water level rises by 5.6 cm.

Answer 150

Solution

           Given:- Diameter of marble = 1.4 cm

                       Diameter of beaker = 7cm

            Diameter of marble = 1.4 cm

      \text{ Radius of marble}=\frac{1.4}{2}=0.7 cm

            The volume of 1 marble

=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi (0.7)^3

=\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 0.343=1.43cm^3

            Diameter of beaker = 7 cm

         \text{ Radius of beaker}=\frac{7}{2}=3.5 cm

            Water level rises(h) = 5.6cm

            Volume of water

=\pi r^2 h=(3.14)(3.5)^2(5.6)

                        =215.40

          \text{ Number of marbles required}=\frac{\text {volume of water }}{\text {volume of 1 marble }}

                        =\frac{215.40}{1.43}=150

Hence 150 marbles should be dropped into the beaker.

So that the water level rises by 5.6 cm.

An ice cream cone full of ice cream having radius 5 cm and height 10 cm as shown in the Figure. Calculate the volume of ice cream, provided that its 1/8 part is left unfilled with ice cream.

In this figure, there is a hemisphere of radius of 5 cm

            And a cone of radius 5 cm and of height 10-5 = 5 cm

 Volume of cone

=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h=\frac{1}{3}\times 3.14 \times (5)^2\times 5=130.83cm^3

            Volume of hemisphere

            =\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3

           =\frac{2}{3}\times 3.14 \times (5)^3=261.66cm^2

            The volume of complete figure = volume of cone + volume of the hemisphere

                        = 130.83 +261.66 = 392.49 cm^3

         \text{ The volume of the unfilled part }=\frac{392.49}{6}=65.41cm^3

            Volume of ice cream = volume of complete figure - volume of unfilled part

                                          392.49- 65.41=327.08 cm^3

            Hence the volume of ice cream is 327.08 cm3

Two solid cones A and B are placed in a cylindrical tube as shown in the Figure. The ratio of their capacities are 2:1. Find the heights and capacities of cones. Also, find the volume of the remaining portion of the cylinder.

Answer 396.18 cm  

Solution

            Height of the tube = 21 cm

            Base radius of the tube =3cm

            Volume of tube =\pi r ^2h

                        =\frac{22}{7}\times 3\times 3\times21=594cm^3

            Let the height of cone A is h cm

            Height of cone B=21-h cm

            Base radius of both A and B =3 cm

            Volume of cone

A=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h=\frac{1}{}3\pi (3)^2h

                        =3 \pi h

Volume of cone

B=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h=\frac{1}{}3\pi (3)^2(21-h)

                        =3 \pi (21-h)

It is given that the ratio of the volume is 2: 1

                        =\frac{3\pi h}{3 \pi (21-h)}=\frac{2}{1}

                        h=2(21-h)

                        h=42-2h

                        3h=42

                        h=14

            Height of cone A = 14 cm

            Height of cone B =21-4=7 cm

            Volume of cone A=3 \pi h=3(3.14)(14)

                        =131.88cm^3

            Volume of cone B = 3\pi (21-h)=2(3.14)(7)                                    

                        =65.94cm^3

            The volume of remaining portion = Volume of the tube – the volume of cone A – the volume of cone B

                        594-131.88 -65.94

                       = 396.18 cm3

            Volume of remaining portion  = 396.18 cm3

Two identical cubes each of volume 64 cm3 are joined together end to end. What is the surface area of the resulting cuboid?

It is given that volume of cube = 64 cm3

                        a^3=64cm^3          ( Because the volume of cube = a3 )

                        a^3=4^3

                        a=4

            So the side of the two cubes are 4 cm

            The cuboid formed by joining two cubes.

           

            The surface area of the cuboid =2(lb +bh+hl)

                        =2(8 \times 4 + 4 \times + 4 \times 8)

                        =2(8 \times 4 +4 \times 4 + 4 \times 8)

                        =2(32+16 +32)

          =2(80)=160cm^2

A cone of radius 8 cm and height 12 cm is divided into two parts by a plane through the mid-point of its axis parallel to its base. Find the ratio of the volumes of two parts.

Answer 1:7

Solution

            When a cone is divided into two parts by a plane through the mid-point the image formed is

           

            In figure \Delta AGE:\Delta EFC        Q\angle E is common angle \angle F=\angle G=90^{\circ}

            So the corresponding sides are in equal ratio.

                        \frac{EF}{FG}=\frac{FC}{GA}

                      \frac{ 6}{12} =\frac{ FC}{}8

                        FC = 4 cm

            Volume of cone EDC= \frac{1}{3}\pi r_{2}^2h

                        = \frac{1}{3}\times 3.14 \times (4)^2 \times 6=100.48cm^3

            Volume of frustum of cone

ABCD =\frac{1}{3}\pi h[r_{1}^2+r_{2}^2 +r_{1}r_{2}]

                        =\frac{1}{3}\times 3.14 \times 6[(8)^2+(4)^2 +8 \times 4]

                        =6.28 [64+16+32]

                       = 6.28[112] = 703.36

            Volume of cone EDC : volume of ABCD

                        100.48 : 703.36

                        1 : 7
