The radius of a solid cylinder is doubled keeping the height same. The percentage increase in its volume is :
200%
100%
400%
300%
Answer
Before change :
Radius of cylinder = r
Height of cylinder = h
Volume of cylinder = πr2h
After change :
Radius of cylinder = 2r
Height of cylinder = h
Volume of cylinder = π(2r)2h = 4πr2h
Difference in volume = Volume after change - Volume before change
= 4πr2h - πr2h
= 3πr2h.
Percentage increase in volume
Hence, Option 4 is the correct option.
From a solid right circular cylinder with height 10 cm and radius of the base 6 cm, a right circular cone of the same height and same base are removed. Find the volume of the remaining solid.
Answer
Given,
Height of the cylinder (H) = 10 cm
Radius of the base of cylinder (R) = 6 cm
Height of the cone (h) = 10 cm
Radius of the base of cone (r) = 6 cm
Volume of remaining part (V) = Volume of cylinder - Volume of cone
Hence, volume of remaining solid = cm3.
From a solid cylinder whose height is 16 cm and radius is 12 cm, a conical cavity of height 8 cm and of base radius 6 cm is hollowed out. Find the volume and total surface area of the remaining solid.
Answer
Given,
Height of the cylinder (H) = 16 cm
Radius of the base of cylinder (R) = 12 cm
Height of the cone (h) = 8 cm
Radius of the base of cone (r) = 6 cm

(i) Volume of remaining part (V) = Volume of cylinder - Volume of cone
Hence, volume of remaining part = 6939.43 cm3.
(ii) By formula,
⇒ l2 = r2 + h2
⇒ l2 = 62 + 82
⇒ l2 = 36 + 64
⇒ l2 = 100
⇒ l2 = 102
⇒ l = 10 cm.
Thus,
Total surface area of remaining solid (T) = Curved surface area of cylinder + Curved surface area of cone + Base area of cylinder + Area of circular ring on upper side of cylinder
(T) = 2πRH + πrl + πR2 + π(R2 - r2)
Hence, total surface area of remaining solid = 2187.43 cm2.
A circus tent is cylindrical to a height of 4 m and conical above it. If its diameter is 105 m and its slant height is 80 m, calculate the total area of canvas required. Also, find the total cost of canvas used at ₹ 15 per meter if the width is 1.5 m.
Answer
Given,
Radius of the cylindrical part of the tent (R) = m
Radius of conical part (r) = m.
Slant height (l) = 80 m

So, the total curved surface area of the tent = 2πRh + πrl
Width of canvas used = 1.5 m
Length of canvas =
Hence,
Total cost of canvas at the rate of ₹ 15 per meter = 9680 x 15 = ₹ 145200.
Hence, total area of canvas required = 9680 m2 and cost = ₹ 145200.
A circus tent is cylindrical to a height of 8 m surmounted by a conical part. If total height of the tent is 13 m and the diameter of its base is 24 m; calculate:
(i) total surface area of the tent
(ii) area of canvas, required to make this tent allowing 10% of the canvas used for folds and stitching.
Answer
Given,
Height of the cylindrical part (H) = 8 m
Height of the conical part (h) = (13 - 8) m = 5 m
Diameter of base = 24 m
From figure,

Radius of cone and cylinder are equal (r) = = 12 m.
By formula,
⇒ (l)2 = r2 + h2
⇒ l2 = 122 + 52
⇒ l2 = 144 + 25
⇒ l2 = 169
⇒ l =
⇒ l = 13 m.
(i) Total surface area of the tent = 2πrH + πrl = πr(2H + l)
= x 12 x (2 x 8 + 13)
= (16 + 13)
= m2
= 1093.71 m2.
Hence, total surface area of tent = 1093.71 m2.
(ii) According to question,
Area of canvas used in stitching = Total area of canvas
⇒ Total area of canvas required = Total surface area of tent + Area of canvas used in stitching
⇒ Total area of canvas = Total area of canvas
⇒ Total area of canvas - Total area of canvas =
⇒ Total area of canvas =
⇒ Total area of canvas =
⇒ Total area of canvas = 1215.23 m2.
Hence, the total area of canvas required = 1215.23 m2.
A cylindrical container with diameter of base 42 cm contains sufficient water to submerge a rectangular solid of iron with dimensions 22 cm × 14 cm × 10.5 cm. Find the rise in level of the water when the solid is submerged.
Answer
Given,
Diameter of base of cylindrical container = 42 cm
Radius of base of cylindrical container (r) = = 21 cm.
Let rise in level of water be h cm.
∴ Volume of solid submerged = Volume of increased water
⇒ 22 cm × 14 cm × 10.5 cm = πr2h
⇒ 3234 =
⇒ h =
⇒ h = cm.
Hence, water rises by cm in container.
Spherical marbles of diameter 1.4 cm are dropped into a beaker containing some water and are fully submerged. The diameter of the beaker is 7 cm. Find how many marbles have been dropped in it if the water rises by 5.6 cm?
Answer
Given,
Diameter of spherical marbles = 1.4 cm
Radius (r) = = 0.7 cm.
Diameter of beaker = 7 cm
Radius of beaker (R) = = 3.5 cm
Increase in water level (h) = 5.6 cm.
Let n marbles are dropped.
⇒ Volume of water increased in beaker = n × Volume of one marble (sphere)
⇒ πR2h =
Hence, 150 marbles are dropped in the beaker.
An open cylindrical vessel of internal diameter 7 cm and height 8 cm stands on a horizontal table. Inside this is placed a solid metallic right circular cone, the diameter of whose base is cm and height 8 cm. Find the volume of water required to fill the vessel.
If this cone is replaced by another cone, whose height is cm and the radius of whose base is 2 cm, find the drop in the water level.
Answer
Given,
Diameter of cylindrical vessel = 7 cm
Radius of cylindrical vessel (R) = = 3.5 cm
Height of cylindrical vessel (H) = 8 cm
Diameter of base of cone = cm
Radius of base of cone (r) = cm
Height of cone (h) = 8 cm
Volume of cylindrical vessel =
=
= 308 cm3.
Volume of original cone =
=
=
= cm3
Volume of water required to fill the vessel = Volume of cylindrical vessel - Volume of original cone
Given,
Radius of new cone (r1) = 2 cm
Height of new cone (h1) = cm
Volume of new cone =
Volume of water which comes down = Volume of original cone - Volume of new cone
=
= cm3.
Let drop in height of water be h2 cm.
Drop in volume of water = cm3
Hence, volume of water required to fill the vessel = 282.33 cm3 and drop in level of water = cm.
A cylindrical can, whose base is horizontal and of radius 3.5 cm, contains sufficient water so that when a sphere is placed in the can, the water just covers the sphere. Given that the sphere just fits into the can, calculate :
(i) the total surface area of the can in contact with water when the sphere is in it;
(ii) the depth of water in the can before the sphere was put into the can.
Answer
(i) Given,
Radius of base of cylindrical can (R) = 3.5 cm

Since,
When a sphere is placed in the can, the water just covers the sphere.
∴ Height (H) = 2R = 7 cm.
Total surface area = 2πRH + πR2
= πR(2H + R)
=
= 22 × 0.5 × (14 + 3.5)
= 192.5 cm2.
Hence, the total surface area of the can in contact with water when the sphere is in it = 192.5 cm2.
(ii) Let the depth of the water be h cm in the can.
Volume of water = Volume of cylinder - Volume of sphere
Hence, depth of water in the can before the sphere was put into the can = cm.
A hollow cylinder has solid hemisphere inward at one end and on the other end it is closed with a flat circular plate. The height of water is 10 cm when flat circular surface is downward. Find the level of water, when it is inverted upside down, common diameter is 7 cm and height of cylinder is 20 cm.
Answer
Given,
For Cylinder :
Height (H) = 20 cm, Radius (R) = 3.5 cm
For Hemisphere :
Radius (r) = Radius of cylinder (R) = 3.5 cm

When flat surface is downward, then height of water (h) = 10 cm.
So, when circular surface part will be downward then,
Let height upto which water fills be h1.
Volume of cylinder (upto height h1) = Volume of cylinder (upto height h) + Volume of hemisphere
Hence, the level of water, when cylinder is inverted upside down = 12.33 cm.
