Q1. Adventure camps are the perfect place for the children to practice decision making for
themselves without parents and teachers guiding their every move. Some students of a school
reached for adventure at Sakleshpur. At the camp, the waiters served some students with a welcome
drink in a cylindrical glass and some students in a hemispherical cup whose dimensions are shown
below. After that they went for a jungle trek. The jungle trek was enjoyable but tiring. As dusk fell, it
was time to take shelter. Each group of four students was given a canvas of area 551m2 . Each group
had to make a conical tent to accommodate all the four students. Assuming that all the stitching and
wasting incurred while cutting, would amount to 1m2 , the students put the tents. The radius of the
tent is 7m.
