9. When we join three cubes with sides 8 cm each, together side by side, we get a cuboid of

length = (8 + 8 + 8) cm = 24 cm, breadth = 8 cm and height = 8 cm

∴ Surface area of the cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl) = 2 (24 × 8 + 8 × 8 + 8 × 24) cm2 = 896 cm2

10. Volume of the cuboid = (24 × 18 × 4) cm3 = 1728 cm3

Let a cm be the edge of the cube into which the cuboid is recast

∴ Volume of cube = a3 cm3

When the metal of the cuboid is recasted into a cube, then Volume of the cube so formed =
Volume of the cuboid

⇒ a3 = 1728 cm3 ⇒ a = 12. Hence, the length of the edge of the cube formed is 12 cm.

11. πrl = 308 cm2 ⇒ 7 × r × 14 = 308 ⇒ r = 7 cm Hence, radius of the base = 7 cm
12. Let the original radius of the balloon be r1 cm and the new radius when air is pumped into it be
r2 ⇒ r1 = 7 cm and r2 = 14 cm
4��12 �12 72 1
∴ Ratio of the surface areas = 4��22 = �22 = 142 = 4

Hence, the required ratio of the surface areas is 1 : 4.

13. Let r be the radius and h be the height of the cone cut out from a cube.
When the largest right circular cone is cut out of a cube, then
 diameter of base of cone = height of cone (h) = edge of cube = 9 cm
9
⇒ Radius of the base of the cone (r) = 2 cm

∴ Volume of cone = � � � � 9 ��3 = 190⋅93 cm3

14. Here, an open box is made by cutting squares of 6 cm from each of the four corners of a tin
sheet and then folding up the flaps. Thus the box will have following dimensions
Length = (42 – 6 – 6) cm = 30 cm, Breadth = (30 – 6 – 6) cm = 18 cm , Height = 6 cm

∴ Capacity of the open box = (30 × 18 × 6) cm3 = 3240 cm3.

15. Let the radius and height of conical flask be �1 and ℎ1 respectively and the radius of cylindrical
container be �2 .
Here, �1 = 6 cm, ℎ1 = 24 cm and �2 = 12 cm .

Let ℎ2 be the level to which the water is filled in the cylinder after being poured from the conical
flask. Since, the water from conical flask is poured into cylindrical container, therefore

Volume of water in conical flask = volume of water in cylindrical container

1
⇒ 3 ��21 ℎ1 = ��22 ℎ2 ⇒ 6 × 6 × 24 = 3 × 12 × 12 × ℎ2 ⇒ ℎ2 = 2 cm

Hence, the level to which the water is filled in the container is 2 cm.

16. Here, �1 = �2 = 12 m, ℎ1 = 3⋅5 m and l = 12⋅5 m

∴ Internal C.S.A. of the building = C.S.A. of cylinder + C.S.A. of cone

= 2π�1 ℎ1 + π�2 l = π�1 [2ℎ1 + l] [∵ �1 = �2 ]

22
= 7
� 12 [ 2� 3.5 + 12.5] �2 = 735 ⋅ 43 m2

We know that l2 = �22 + ℎ22 ⇒(12.5)2 = (12)2 + ℎ22 ⇒ ℎ22 = 12.25 ⇒ ℎ2 = 3.5

∴ Capacity (volume) of the building = Volume of cylinder + Volume of cone

1 1
=π�21 ℎ1 + 3 ��22 ℎ2 = π�21 ℎ1 + 3 ℎ2 [ ∵ �1 = �2 ]

= 7
� 122 [3.5 + 3 � 3.5] �3 = 2112 m3.

17. Let the internal and external radius of the hollow hemispherical shell be r cm and R cm
8 10
respectively. ∴ r = 2 = 4 cm and R = 2 = 5 cm
∴ Volume of the hollow hemispherical shell
2 2 2 2 122�
= 3 ��3 − 3 ��3 = 3 � �3 − �3 = 3 � 53 − 43 = 3
��3

Since, the shell is recast into a solid cylinder of height 6⋅1 cm

∴ Volume of cylinder = Volume of hollow hemispherical shell

122� 122 20
⇒ πr2h = 3
⇒ r2 = 3 � 6.1× = 3
[∵ h = 6·1 cm]

20 5 5
⇒r= 3
=2 3
�� . Hence, the radius of the cylinder is 2 3

18. (i) Area for grazing = ��2 = 7 � 14 � 14 = 616 �2
(ii) Area beyond its reach = Total area – area for grazing = 100 x 80 – 616 = 8000-616 = 7384 m2
1 1
(iii) if it tied to a corner then grazing area = Area of quadrant = 4 ��2 = 4 � 616 = 154 �2

Or

if it tied to a mid point on any side then

1 1
grazing area = Area of semicircle = 2 ��2 = 2 � 616 = 308 �2
