### Quiz

1. A right triangular pyramid XYZB is cut from cube as shown in figure. The side of cube is 16 cm. X, Y and Z are mid points of the edges of the cube. What is the total surface area (in $${cm}^{2}$$) of the pyramid?

A. 48[√3 + 1]
B. 24[4 + √3]
C. 28[6 + √3]
D. 28[6 + √3]

Explanation:

In the figure;

$${(XY)}^{2}$$ = 64 + 64

XY = 8√2 cm

∴ YZ = ZX = 8√2 cm

∴ Base area of the pyramid = $$\frac{√3}{4}$$ × 128 = 32√3 $${cm}^{2}$$

Height of rest three surfaces of the pyramid (as in above figure) = 4√2 cm

Area of 3 surfaces of pyramid = 3 × $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 4√2 × 8√2 = 96 $${cm}^{2}$$

Total surface area = 96 + 32√3 = 32 (3 + √3) $${cm}^{2}$$

2. In the given figure, two squares of sides 8 cm and 20 cm are given. What is the area (in cm2) of the shaded part?

A. $$\frac{120}{7}$$
B. $$\frac{160}{7}$$
C. $$\frac{180}{7}$$
D. $$\frac{240}{13}$$

Explanation:

Here ∆AXB and ∆AFG will be similar

⇒$$\frac{8}{28}$$ =$$\frac{BX}{20}$$

⇒ BX =$$\frac{40}{7}$$

⇒ Area of ∆AXB = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × (AB × BX)

⇒ Area of ∆AXB = ½ × (8 × $$\frac{40}{7}$$)

∴ Area of ∆AXB = $$\frac{160}{7}$$ $${cm}^{2}$$

3. A hemisphere is kept on top of a cube. Its front view is shown in the given figure. The total height of the figure is 21 cm. The ratio of curved surface area of the hemisphere and total surface area of cube is 11 ∶ 42. What is the total volume (in cm 3) of figure?

A. 3318.33
B. 3462.67
C. 3154.67
D. 3154.67

Explanation:
Curved surface area of hemisphere/Total surface area of cube =$$\frac{2π{r}^{2}}{6{a}^{2}}$$ = $$\frac{11}{42}$$

⇒ 14 × $$\frac{22}{7}$$× $${r}^{2}$$ = 11$${a}^{2}$$

⇒ a = 2r

And given total height of the figure is 21 cm,

⇒ a + r = 21

⇒ r = 7 cm and a = 14 cm

∴ Volume of the figure = $${a}^{3}$$ + $$\frac{2}{3}$$π$${r}^{3}$$

⇒ 143 + $$\frac{2}{3}$$ × $$\frac{22}{7}$$ ×$${7}^{3}$$

⇒ 2744 + 718.67 = 3462.67 $${cm}^{3}$$

4. The perimeter of a square is 40 cm, find its area?

A. 100 sq cm
B. 25 sq cm
C. 50 sq cm
D. 160 sq cm

Explanation:

From the given data,

Perimeter of a square = 40 cm

⇒ 4 × side = 40 cm

⇒ side = 10 cm

Area of the square = side × side = 10 cm × 10 cm = 100 sq.cm

5. The base of a prism is a trapezium. The length of the parallel sides of the trapezium are 5 cm and 15 cm respectively and the distance between the parallel sides is 12 cm. If the volume of trapezium prism is 1200 cm3. What the total surface area of the trapezoidal prism?

A. 400 $${cm}^{2}$$
B. 500 $${cm}^{2}$$
C. 700 $${cm}^{2}$$
D. 600 $${cm}^{2}$$

Explanation:

As we know, volume of the trapezium prism = base area(area of trapezium) × height

⇒ 1200 = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × (5 + 15) × 12 × h

⇒ h = 10 cm

∵ Lateral surface area = perimeter of trapezium × height

Total surface area of the trapezoidal prism

⇒ 2 × base area(area of trapezium) + lateral surface area

⇒ 2 × $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × (5 + 15) × 12 + perimeter of trapezium × height

⇒ 240 + (15 + 13 + 5 + 13) × 10

⇒ 240 + 460 = 700 $${cm}^{2}$$

∴ Total surface area of the trapezoidal prism = 700 $${cm}^{2}$$

1. Two right circular cylinders of equal volume have their heights in the ratio 1 : 2. The ratio of

A. √2:1
B. 2 : 1
C. 1 : 2
D. 1 : 4

Explanation:
V1 ∶ V2 = 1 ∶ 1
π$${r1}^{2}$$h1 ∶ π$${r2}^{2}$$h2 = 1 ∶ 1
$$\frac{1}{2}$$ × $$\frac{{r1}^{2}}{{r2}^{2}}$$ × $$\frac{1}{3}$$
=$$\frac{1}{1}$$

r1 ∶ r2 = √2 ∶ 1

2. A hollow iron pipe is 21 cm long and its exterior diameter is 8 cm. If the thickness of the pipe
is 1 cm and iron weighs 8 g/cm³, then the weight of the pipe is ?

A. 3.696 kg
B. 3.6 kg
C. 36 kg
D. 36.9 kg

Explanation:
External radius =$$\frac{8}{2}$$ = 4 cm
Thickness = 1 cm
Internal Radius = 4 – 1 = 3 cm
Volume of Material = πh ($${R}^{2}$$ − $${r}^{2}$$) = $$\frac{22}{7}$$ × 21 × ($${4}^{2}$$ − $${3}^{2}$$) = 462 $${cm}^{3}$$
Iron → 462 × $$\frac{8}{100}$$ kg
= 3.696 kg

A. 1 cm
B. 2 cm
C. 3 cm
D. 6 cm

Explanation:
Let water raised be x.
2 × $$\frac{4}{3}$$ π × $${3}^{3}$$ = π × $${6}^{2}$$ × x
72π = π × 36x
x = 2 cm

4. The radii of the base of two cylinders A and B are in the ratio 3 : 2 and their height in the ratio n: 1. If the volume of cylinder A is 3 times that of cylinder B, the value of n is?

A.$$\frac{4}{3}$$
B. $$\frac{2}{3}$$
C. $$\frac{3}{4}$$
D.$$\frac{3}{2}$$

Explanation:

$$π{(3)}^{2}$$ × $$\frac{n}{π{(2)}^{2}}$$ × 1 = $$\frac{3}{1}$$
$$\frac{9}{4}$$ × $$\frac{n}{1}$$ = 3
n = $$\frac{4}{3}$$

5. Water is being pumped out through a circular pipe whose internal diameter is 7 cm. If the flow of water is 12 cm per second. How many litres of water is being pumped out in one hour?

A. 1663.2
B. 1500
C. 1747.6
D. 2000

Explanation:
Volume of water flow per second = π$${r}^{2}$$h = $$\frac{22}{7}$$ × 72 × 72× 12
= 462 cm³
Volume of water pumped out in 1 hour = 462 × 60 × 60 cm³
= 1663200 cm³ = 1663.2 liters

1. The lateral surface area of a cylinder is 1056 cm² and its height is 16 cm. Find its volume?

A. 4545 cm³
B. 4455 cm³
C. 5445 cm³
D. 5544 cm³

Explanation:
Let Radius = r cm, h = 16 cm
2πrh = 1056
=> 2 × $$\frac{22}{7}$$ × r × 16 = 1056
r =$$\frac{21}{2}$$ cm
Volume = π$${r}^{2}$$h = $$\frac{22}{7}$$ × $$\frac{21}{2}$$ × $$\frac{21}{2}$$ × 16 = 5544 $${cm}^{3}$$

approximately ?

A. 942.86
B. 314.29
C. 628.57
D.450.76

Explanation:
Volume of solid cylinder = πr2h
Volume of cone =$$\frac{1}{3}$$ π$${r}^{2}$$h
Difference = π$${r}^{2}$$h − $$\frac{1}{3}$$π$${r}^{2}$$h = $$\frac{2}{3}$$π$${r}^{2}$$h = 628.57 cubic cm

3. The curved surface area and the total surface area of a cylinder are in the ratio 1 : 2.If the total
surface area of the right cylinder is 616 cm², then its volume is?

A.1232 cm³
B. 1848 cm³
C. 1632 cm³
D. 1078 cm³

Explanation:
$$\frac{2πrh}{{2πrh+ 2π{r}^{2}}}$$
=$$\frac{1}{2}$$ × $$\frac{2πrh}{616}$$

2πrh = 308 … (i)
2πrh+ 2π$${r}^{2}$$ = 616 … (ii)
From (i) and (ii)
r = 7 … (iii)
From (i) and (iii)
h = 7
Volume = π$${r}^{2}$$h =$$\frac{22}{7}$$ × 7 × 7 × 7 = 1078 $${cm}^{3}$$
