    ∵ (4/3) x (22/7) x r3 = (88/21) x (14)3
    ⇒ r = 14

    Correct Option: C

    ∵ (4/3) x (22/7) x r3 = (88/21) x (14)3
    ⇒ r = 14
    ∴ Curved surface = 4 x (22/7) x 14 x 14 cm2 = 2464 cm2


  1. A hemisphere has 3 cm radius. Calculate its volume. ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    volume = (2/3)πr3

    Correct Option: C

    volume = (2/3)πr3
    = (2/3) x π x 33
    = (2/3) x π x 27
    = 18π cm3



  1. A sphere of radius r has the same volume as that of a cone with circular base of radius r. Find the height of the cone. ?

    Given that,
    Volume of sphere = Volume of cone
    ⇒ (4/3)πr3 = (1/3)πr2h

    Correct Option: C

    Given that,
    Volume of sphere = Volume of cone
    ⇒ (4/3)πr3 = (1/3)πr2h
    ⇒ 4r = h


  1. Find the total surface area of a pyramid having a slant height of 8 cm and a base which is a square of side 4 cm (in cm2) ?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Total surface area of the pyramid
    = [1/2(perimeter of the base) (Slant height) ] + Area of the base
    = 1/2 (4) (4) (8) + 42 = 80 cm2

    Correct Option: A

    Total surface area of the pyramid
    = [1/2(perimeter of the base) (Slant height) ] + Area of the base
    = 1/2 (4) (4) (8) + 42 = 80 cm2



  1. Half cubic meter of gold sheet is extended by hammering so as to cover an area of hectare. The thickness of the sheet is ?

    Thickness = Volume / Area

    Correct Option: C

    Thickness = Volume / Area
    = (1/2)/10000 m
    = (1 x 100)/(2 x 10000) cm
    = 0.005 cm
