The radius of a cone is $\sqrt2$ times the height of the cone. A cube of maximum possible volume is cut from the same cone. What is the ratio of the volume of the cone to the volume of the cube?

  1. $3.18\pi$

  2. $2.25\pi$

  3. $2.35$

  4. Can't be determined


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cube here will be inscribed in a cone as a square is in isosceles triangle.
Let the height of the cone be $h$
Radius=$\sqrt2 h$
Volume of cone=$\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$
                           =$\dfrac{2\sqrt 2}{3}\pi h^3$
Let the side of the cube be x,the top of the cone above it has the sign $(h-x)$ and radius $\dfrac{x}{2}$
Using properties of similar triangle $\dfrac { \dfrac { x }{ 2 }  }{ h-x } =\dfrac{\sqrt2 h}{h}$
                                                            $=\sqrt 2 x$
                                                             $=\dfrac { 2\sqrt { 2 } h }{ 2\sqrt { 2 } +1 } $
Volume of the cube=$\dfrac { 2\sqrt { 2 } h }{ 2\sqrt { 2 } +1 } $
Ratio of the volume of the cone to volume of the cube=$\dfrac { \dfrac { 2\sqrt { 2 }  }{ 3 } \pi h^{ 3 } }{ (\dfrac { 2\sqrt { 2 } h }{ 2\sqrt { 2 } +1 } )^ 3 } $
                                            $=\dfrac{\pi(2\sqrt { 2 } +1  )^ 3)}{24}$
                                            $=2.35\pi$

If S is the total surface area of a cube and V is its volume, then which one of the following is correct?

  1. $V^{3} = 216 S^{2}$

  2. $S^{3} = 216 V^{2}$

  3. $S^{3} = 6 V^{2}$

  4. $S^{2} = 36 V^{3}$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

$S = 6a^{2}; V = a^{3}$
Then $S^{3} = 216a^{6} = 216(a^{3})^{2}$ or $S^{3} = 216 V^{2}$

If a box is $\dfrac{1}{4}$ filled contains $5$ small cubes each of volume $1$ cubic units then find out the volume of the box.

  1. $25$ cu.

  2. $20$ cu.

  3. $15$ cu.

  4. $5$ cu.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Since the box is $\dfrac {1}{4}$ filled with  the given cubes , we need to multiply the total volume of the given cubes by $4$ to get the total volume of thr box.

Volume of one cube is $1 cu.$
$\therefore $ Volume of 5 cubes will be $5\times 1 cu.=5cu.$
$\therefore $ Volume of the box will be $4\times 5 cu.=20cu.$

  1. $75$

  2. $250$

  3. $125$

  4. $62$`


Correct Option: A

If the volumes of two cubes are in the ratio $8:1$, then the ratio of their edges is

  1. $8:1$

  2. $2\sqrt 2:1$

  3. $2:1$

  4. none of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Let $V _1$ and $V _2$ be two volume of cubes.

$l _1$ and $l _2$ be edges of the two cubes.
We know that,
Volume of cube $V=l^3$
So,
$\Rightarrow$  $\dfrac{V _1}{V _2}=\dfrac{l _1^3}{l _2^3}$

$\Rightarrow$  $\dfrac{8}{1}=\left(\dfrac{l _1}{l _2}\right)^3$             [ Given ]

$\therefore$  $\dfrac{l _1}{l _2}=\dfrac{2}{1}$

$\therefore$  Ratio of their edges is $2:1$.

The volume of a cube whose surface area is $96{cm}^{2}$, is

  1. $16\sqrt 2{cm}^{3}$

  2. $32{cm}^{3}$

  3. $64{cm}^{3}$

  4. $216{cm}^{3}$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Let $l$be the side of cube.

Surface area of cube $=6l^2$
$\Rightarrow$  $96=6l^2$                      [ Given ]
$\Rightarrow$  $l^2=16$
$\therefore$  $l=4\,cm$
Now,
$\Rightarrow$  Volume of cube $=l^3$
                                  $=(4)^3$
                                  $=64\,cm^3$

If each edge of a cube, of volume $V$, is doubled, then the volume of the new cube is

  1. $2V$

  2. $4V$

  3. $6V$

  4. $8V$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Let $a$ be the initial edge of the cube.

So, 
Volume of cube $V=a^3$
In the new cube,
Let $a'$ be the edge of new cube
$\therefore$  $a'=2a$               [ Given ]
Volume of new cube,
$V'=(a')^3$
      $=(2a)^3$
      $=8a^3$
      $=8V$                        [ Since, $a^3=V$ ]
Volume of the new cube is $8V.$

If ${A} _{1},{A} _{2}$ and ${A} _{3}$ denote the areas of three adjacent faces of a cuboid, then its volume is

  1. ${A} _{1}{A} _{2}{A} _{3}$

  2. $2{A} _{1}{A} _{2}{A} _{3}$

  3. $\sqrt{{A} _{1}{A} _{2}{A} _{3}}$

  4. $\sqrt [ 3 ]{ { A } _{ 1 }{ A } _{ 2 }{ A } _{ 3 } } $


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is given that, $A _,A _2,A _3$ be the areas of $3$ adjacent faces of cuboid

Let $V$ be the volume of cuboid.
Let dimensions of cuboid $=l\times b\times h$
$A _1=l\times b$
$A _2=b\times h$
$A _3=h\times l$
$\Rightarrow$  $V=l\times b\times h$
Now,
$\Rightarrow$  $A _1A _2A _3=lb\times bh\times hl$
$\Rightarrow$  $A _1A _2A _3=l^2b^2d^2$

$\Rightarrow$  $A _1A _2A _3=(lbh)^2$
$\therefore$  $A _1A _2A _3=V^2$
$\therefore$  $V=\sqrt{A _1A _2A _3}$

A beam 4m long, 50cm wide and 20cm deep is made of wood which weighs 25$kg$ per $m^3$. Find the weight of the beam.

  1. $10 kg$

  2. $12 kg$

  3. $13 kg$

  4. $15 kg$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given,length $=4m$
breadth $=50 cm=0.5 m$
height $20 cm=0.2 m$
Volume of beam $=l \times b \times h=0.4 m^3$
Weight of $1$ $m^3$ wood is $25$ kg
Weight of $0.4$  $m^3$ cubiodal beam$=25\times 0.4=10 $kg

If the radius of the base of a right circular cylinder is halved, keeping the  height same, what is the ratio of the volume of the reduced cylinder to that of the original.

  1. $1:3$

  2. $1:5$

  3. $1:4$

  4. $1:7$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

circular cylinder's radius=r
height=h
keeping the height same,  radius is halved
radius of new 
circular cylinder=r/2
So, ratio of volume = volume of reduced cylinder/volume of original cylinder
$Ratio=\Pi { r /2}^{ 2 }h/\Pi { (r) }^{ 2 }h$
$Ratio=1/4$

By melting a solid cylindrical metal, a few conical materials are to be made. If three times the radius of the cone is equal to twice the radius of the cylinder and the ratio of the height of the cylinder and the height of the cone is 4: 3, find the number of cones which can be made

  1. 4

  2. 3

  3. 9

  4. 2


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Let R be the radius and H be the height of the cylinder and let rand h be the radius and height of the cone respectively. Then,
$3r=2R$
and $H:h=4:3$ ......(i)
$\Rightarrow \dfrac {H}{h}=\dfrac {4}{3}$
$\Rightarrow 3H=4h$ .......(ii)
Let n be the required number of cones which can be made from the materials of the cylinder. Then, the volume of the cylinder will be equal to the sum of the volumes of n cones. Hence, we have
$\pi R^2H=\dfrac {n}{3}\pi r^2h$
$\Rightarrow 3R^2H=nr^2h$
$\Rightarrow n=\dfrac {3R^2H}{r^2H}=\dfrac {3\times \dfrac {9r^2}{4}\times \dfrac {4h}{3}}{r^2h}$ [$\because$ From (i) and (ii), $R=\dfrac {3r}{2}$ and $H=\dfrac {4h}{3}$]
$\Rightarrow n=\dfrac {3\times 9\times 4}{3\times 4}$
$\Rightarrow n=9$
Hence, the required number of cones is 9.

A hemi-spherical depression is cutout from one face of the cubical wooden block such that the diameter of the hemisphere is equal to the edge of the cube. Determine the surface area of the remaining solid
Answer required

  1. $=\frac {l^2}{4}[25+\pi)sq.units$.

  2. $=\frac {l^2}{5}[24+\pi)sq.units$.

  3. $=\frac {l^2}{4}[24+\pi)sq.units$.

  4. $=\frac {l^2}{3}[24+\pi)sq.units$.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Total surface area of the cube after hemispherical depression
$=$ T.S.A. of cube -Base area of hemisphere + C.S.A of hemisphere
$=6(edge)^2-\pi r^2+2\pi r^2$

A wall of length $10$ m was to be built across an open ground. The height of the wall is $4$ m and thickness of the wall is $24$ cm. If this wall is to be built up with bricks whose dimensions are $24$ cm $\times 24$ cm $\times 24$ cm, how many bricks would be required?

  1. $500$

  2. $556$

  3. $695$

  4. $704$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Since the thickness of wall and brick is same, we only need to figure out the area of the wall, which on dividing with the area of brick will give us the number of bricks.

But the standard procedure lies 
Number of Bricks$=\quad \dfrac { Volume\ of\ wall }{ Volume\ of\ brick } =\dfrac { 10\times 4\times 0.24\ m^{ 3 } }{ 0.24\times 0.24\times 0.24\ m^{ 3 } } =694.44$


Closest integer is taken as answer because come as a whole , so, $695$ is the answer.

A hemispherical bowl of internal diameter $36$ cm is full of some liquid. This liquid is to be filled in cylindrical bottles of radius $3$ cm and height $6$ cm, then no. of bottles needed to empty the bowl

  1. $36$

  2. $72$

  3. $18$

  4. $144$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Radius of the bowl $ = \dfrac {36}{2} = 18  cm $

Volume of the bowl $ = \dfrac { 2 }{ 3 }

\pi { r }^{ 3 } = \dfrac {2}{3} \times \pi \times 18 \times 18 \times

18 {cm}^{3} $





Volume

of a Cylinder of Radius "R" and height "h" $ = \pi { R }^{

2 }h $





Hence, Volume of one cylindrical bottle, $ = \pi \times 3 \times 3 \times  6 $


Hence, number of bottled required $

= \dfrac {Volume  of  bowl} {Volume  of  each  bottle} = \dfrac{\dfrac {2}{3} \times \pi \times 18 \times 18 \times

18}{ \pi \times 3 \times 3 \times 

6} = 72 $
