In the given figure, the radius of the cone is same as its height equal to 2 cm each. The volume of the whole body is :
8π cm3
16 cm3
32π cm3
32 cm3

Answer
Given,
Radius of cone (r) = 2 cm
Height of cone (h) = 2 cm
From figure,
Radius of hemisphere = Radius of cone = 2 cm.
⇒ Volume of body = Volume of cone + Volume of hemisphere
⇒ Volume of body =
Hence, Option 1 is the correct option.
In the given figure, height of the conical part is 3 cm. The radius and the height of the cylindrical part are 1 cm each. The total volume of the body is :
9π cm3
18π cm3
2π cm3
4π cm3

Answer
Given,
Radius of cylindrical part (r) = 1 cm
Height of cylindrical part (h) = 1 cm
Height of conical part (H) = 3 cm
From figure,
Radius of conical part = Radius of cylindrical part (r) = 1 cm
Volume of body = Volume of conical part + Volume of cylindrical part
Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
The given figure shows a solid cylinder of height h cm and radius r cm. If the slant height of the conical cavity is l cm, the total surface area of the remaining solid is :
πrl + 2πrh + 2πr2
πr2 + πrl + 2πrh
2πr2 - πrl + 2πrh
(πrl + πr2) + 2πr2 + 2πrh

Answer
From figure,
Total surface area of remaining solid = Curved surface area of cylinder + Area of upper surface of cylinder + Curved surface area of cone
= 2πrh + πr2 + πrl.
Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
In the given figure, a solid cone is kept inverted in a closed cylindrical container such that the height of cone = height of cylinder = h, radius of cone = radius of cylinder = r and slant height of cone = l. If the remaining of cylinder is completely filled with water, the wetted surface area of the whole body is :
2πrh + πr2 + πrl
2πrh + πrl
2πrh + 2πr2 + πrl
2πrh - πr2 + πrl

Answer
From figure,
Total wetted surface area of body = Curved surface area of cylinder + Area of upper surface of cylinder + Curved surface area of cone
= 2πrh + πr2 + πrl.
Hence, Option 1 is the correct option.
The given figure shows a solid sphere and a closed cylindrical container, both having the same height and same radii. The volume of air left in the cylinder is :
6πr3
4πr3

Answer
From figure,
Radius of sphere = Radius of cylinder = r
Height of cylinder (h) = 2r
Volume of air left = Volume of cylinder - Volume of sphere
Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
A cone of height 15 cm and diameter 7 cm is mounted on a hemisphere of same diameter. Determine the volume of the solid thus formed.
Answer
Given,
Height of the cone (h) = 15 cm
Diameter of the cone = 7 cm

Radius of cone (r) = = 3.5 cm
So, radius of the hemisphere (R) = 3.5 cm
From figure,
Volume of the solid (V) = Volume of the cone + Volume of the hemisphere
Hence, volume of solid formed = 282.33 cm3.
A buoy is made in the form of a hemisphere surmounted by a right cone whose circular base coincides with the plane surface of the hemisphere. The radius of the base of the cone is 3.5 metres and its volume is two-third of the hemisphere. Calculate the height of the cone and the surface area of the buoy, correct to two places of decimal.
Answer
From figure,
Radius of hemisphere (r) = Radius of cone (R) = 3.5 m.
Volume of hemisphere =
=
=
= m3.
Let height of the cone = h.
By formula,
Volume of conical part = ........(1)
Given,
Volume of cone = Volume of hemisphere
= m3 ...........(2)
From (1) and (2), we get :
By formula,
⇒ l2 = R2 + h2
⇒ l2 = (3.5)2 + (4.67)2
⇒ l2 = 12.25 + 21.81
⇒ l2 = 34.06
⇒ l =
⇒ l = 5.83 cm.
Surface area of buoy = Surface area of hemisphere + Surface area of cone = 2πr2 + πRl
Hence, height = 4.67 and surface area of buoy = 141.13 m2.
From a rectangular solid of metal 42 cm by 30 cm by 20 cm, a conical cavity of diameter 14 cm and depth 24 cm is drilled out. Find:
(i) the surface area of the remaining solid
(ii) the volume of remaining solid
(iii) the weight of the material drilled out if it weighs 7 gm per cm3.
Answer
Given,
Dimensions of rectangular solid are:
l = 42 cm, b = 30 cm and h = 20 cm.
Conical cavity’s diameter = 14 cm
So, its radius (r) = 7 cm
Depth (h) = 24 cm

(i) Total surface area of cuboid = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2 (42 x 30 + 30 x 20 + 20 x 42)
= 2 (1260 + 600 + 840)
= 2 (2700)
= 5400 cm2
Area of circular base of conical cavity = πr2 = x 7 x 7 = 154 cm2.
By formula,
⇒ l2 = r2 + h2
⇒ l2 = (7)2 + (24)2
⇒ l2 = 49 + 576
⇒ l2 = 625
⇒ l =
⇒ l = 25 cm.
Area of curved surface area of cone = πrl
= = 22 x 25 = 550 cm2
Surface area of remaining part = Surface area of rectangular solid + Surface area of cone - Area of base of conical cavity
= 5400 + 550 - 154
= 5796 cm2.
Hence, surface area of remaining part = 5796 cm2.
(ii) Volume of the rectangular solid = lbh
= (42 x 30 x 20) cm3
= 25200 cm3
Radius of conical cavity (r) = 7 cm
Depth (h) = 24 cm
Volume of cone =
=
= 22 × 7 × 8
= 1232 cm3.
Volume of remaining solid = Volume of rectangular solid - Volume of cone
= 25200 - 1232
= 23968 cm3.
Hence, volume of remaining solid = 23968 cm3.
(iii) Volume of material drilled out = Volume of cone = 1232 cm3.
Weight of material drilled out = 1232 × 7 = 8624 g = 8.624 kg.
Hence, weight of material drilled out = 8.624 kg.
The cubical block of side 7 cm is surmounted by a hemisphere of the largest size. Find the surface area of the resulting solid.
Answer
It’s known that, the diameter of the largest hemisphere that can be placed on the face of a cube of side 7 cm will be 7 cm.
So, it’s radius (r) = = 3.5 cm
Curved surface area = 2πr2
= = 77 cm2.
Area of base of hemisphere = πr2
=
= 38.5 cm2.
From figure,
Surface area of the resulting solid = Surface area of the cube – Area of the base of the hemisphere + Curved surface area of hemisphere
= 6(side)2 - 38.5 + 77
= 6(7)2 + 38.5
= 294 + 38.5
= 332.5 cm2.
Hence, surface area of resulting solid = 332.5 cm3.
A vessel is in the form of an inverted cone. Its height is 8 cm and the radius of the top which is open is 5 cm. It is filled with water up to the rim. When lead shots, each of which is a sphere of radius 0.5 cm, are dropped into the vessel, one-fourth of the water flows out. Find the number of lead shots dropped in the vessel.
Answer
Given,
Height of cone (H) = 8 cm
Radius of cone (R) = 5 cm
Radius of sphere (r) = 0.5 cm.

Let no. of lead shots dropped in vessel be n.
According to question,
One-fourth of the water flows out after dropping lead shots.
∴ x Volume of cone = n × Volume of each sphere
Hence, no. of shots dropped = 100.
A hemi-spherical bowl has negligible thickness and the length of its circumference is 198 cm. Find the capacity of the bowl.
Answer
Given,
Circumference = 198 cm
∴ 2πr = 198
⇒ r = = 31.5 cm.
By formula,
Hence, capacity of bowl = 65488.5 cm3.

Answer
Let height of each cone be h cm.
Given,
Cones are melted and recasted into a sphere.
∴ Volume of cone with radii r1 + Volume of cone with radii r2 = Volume of sphere
Hence, h =
