sof olympiad trainer

SOLUTION:

Soln. : Volume of each cube = 64 cm3
Let the edge of each cube = 2
∴ x3 = 64 cm3
⇒ x = 4 cm
Now, Length of the resulting cuboid l = 2x cm = 8 cm
Breadth of the resulting cuboid b = x cm = 4 cm
Height of the resulting cuboid h = x cm = 4 cm
∴ Surface area of the cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + hl)
= 2 [(8 × 4) + (4 × 4) + (4 × 8)] cm2
= 2 [32 + 16 + 32] cm2 = 2 [80] cm2 = 160 cm2.

A right triangle, whose sides are 3 cm and 4 cm (other than hypotenuse) is made to revolve about its hypotenuse. Find the volume and surface area of the double cone so formed. Choose value of π as found appropriate.

SOLUTION:

Soln. : Let us consider the right ∆BAC, right angled at A such that AB = 3 cm, AC = 4 cm
∴ Hypotenuse sof olympiad trainer
Obviously, we have obtained two cones on the same base AA' such that radius = DA or DA'

Q 34.

A cistern, internally measuring 150 cm × 120 cm × 110 cm, has 129600 cm3 of water in it. Porous bricks are placed in the water until the cistern is full to the brim. Each brick absorbs one-seventeenth of its own volume of water. How many bricks can be put in without overflowing the water, each being 22.5 cm × 7.5 cm × 6.5 cm?

SOLUTION:

Soln. : ∵ Dimensions of the cistern are 150 cm, 120 cm and 100 cm.
∴ Volume of the cistern = 150 × 120 × 110 cm3 = 1980000 cm3
Volume of water contained in the cistern = 129600 cm3
∴ Free space (volume) which is not filled with water = (1980000 - 129600) cm3 = 1850400 cm3
Now, volume of one brick = (22.5 × 7.5 × 6.5) cm3 = 1096.875 cm3
∴ Volume of water absorbed by one brick sof olympiad trainer
Let n bricks can be put in the cistern.
∴ Volume of water absorbed by n bricks sof olympiad trainer
∴ [volume occupied by n bricks] = [(free space in the cistern + volume of water absorbed by n-bricks)]
⇒ sof olympiad trainer

⇒ sof olympiad trainer
⇒ sof olympiad trainer
= 1792.4102 ≈ 1792
Thus, 1792 bricks can be put in the cistern.

Q 35.

In one fortnight of a given month, there was a rainfall of 10 cm in a river valley. If the area of the valley is 97280 km2, show that the total rainfall was approximately equivalent to the addition to the normal water of three rivers each 1072 km long, 75 m wide and 3 m deep.

SOLUTION:

Soln. : Volume of three rivers = 3 {(Surface area of a river) × Depth}
sof olympiad trainer
sof olympiad trainer
Volume of rainfall = (Surface area) × (Height of rainfall)
sof olympiad trainer
sof olympiad trainer
sof olympiad trainer
Since, 0.7236 km3 ≠ 9.728 km3
∴ The additional water in the three rivers is not equivalent to the rainfall.

Q 36.

An oil funnel made of tin sheet consists of a 10 cm long cylindrical portion attached to a frustum of a cone. If the total height is 22 cm, diameter of the cylindrical portion is 8 cm and the diameter of the top of the funnel is 18 cm, find the area of the tin sheet required to make the funnel (see figure).
sof olympiad trainer

SOLUTION:

Soln. : We have,
For the cylindrical part
Diameter = 8 cm ⇒ Radius (r) = 4 cm
Height = 10 cm ⇒ Curved Surface area
sof olympiad trainer
For the frustum : sof olympiad trainer
Height (H) = 22 - 10 = 12 cm
∴ Slant height (l) sof olympiad trainer
sof olympiad trainer
sof olympiad trainer
∴ Surface area = π (r1 + r2)l
sof olympiad trainer
Area of tin required = [Area of the frustum] + [Area of cylindrical portion]
sof olympiad trainer
sof olympiad trainer

Q 37.

Derive the formula for the curved surface area and total surface area of the frustum of a cone

SOLUTION:

Soln. :
sof olympiad trainer
We have, Curved surface area of the frustum PQRS
sof olympiad trainer
= πr1l1 - πr2l2 ...(1)
Now, ∆OC1Q ∼ ∆OC2S [By AA similarity]
∴ sof olympiad trainer
⇒ sof olympiad trainer
(∵ l1 = l + l2)
⇒ sof olympiad trainer ...(2)
Now, from (1), we get
Curved surface area of the frustum
sof olympiad trainer
sof olympiad trainer
= πl (r1 + r2) [From (2)]
Now, the total surface area of the frustum
= (curved surface area) + (base surface area) + (top surface area)
= πl (r1 + r2) + πr22 + πr12 = π (r1 + r2) l + π (r12 + r22)
= π [(r1 + r2) l + r12 + r22]

Q 38.

Derive the formula for the volume of the frustum of a cone.

SOLUTION:

Soln. : We have,
[Volume of the frustum RPQS]
= [Volume of right circular cone OPQ]
- [Volume of right circular cone ORS]
sof olympiad trainer
sof olympiad trainer ...(1)
sof olympiad trainer
Since ∆OC1Q ∼ ∆OC2S [By AA similarity]
∴ sof olympiad trainer
⇒ sof olympiad trainer ...(2)
⇒ sof olympiad trainer
⇒ sof olympiad trainer
⇒ sof olympiad trainer ...(3)
From (1) and (2), we have Volume of the frustum RPQS
