Given:

Edge of solid iron cube = 24 cm

Thickness of rectangular sheet = 2 mm = 0.2 cm

Ratio of length (l) to breadth (b) = 6:5

Formula Used:

Volume of cube = Volume of rectangular sheet

Volume of cube = Edge3

Volume of rectangular sheet = Length × Breadth × Thickness

l / b = 6 / 5

Calculation:

Volume of cube = Edge3

⇒ Volume = 243

⇒ Volume = 13824 cm3

Volume of rectangular sheet = l × b × 0.2

⇒ 13824 = l × b × 0.2

⇒ l × b = 13824 / 0.2

⇒ l × b = 69120

l / b = 6 / 5

⇒ l = 6k, b = 5k

⇒ l × b = 6k × 5k

⇒ 69120 = 30k2

⇒ k2 = 69120 / 30

⇒ k2 = 2304

⇒ k = √2304

⇒ k = 48

l = 6k = 6 × 48 = 288 cm

b = 5k = 5 × 48 = 240 cm

l + b = 288 + 240

⇒ l + b = 528 cm

The correct answer is option 2 (528 cm).

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : 6076

Mensuration Question 5 Detailed Solution

Given:

Edge of the wooden cube = 14 cm.

Formula Used:

Volume of the cube = Edge3

Volume of the cone = (1/3) × π × r2 × h

Maximum volume of the cone when it is carved from a cube: r = h/2, where h = edge of the cube.

Volume of the removed portion = Volume of the cube - Volume of the cone.

Calculation:

Volume of the cube = Edge3

⇒ Volume of the cube = 143

⇒ Volume of the cube = 2744 cm3

Radius (r) of the cone = h / 2 = 14 / 2 = 7 cm

Height (h) of the cone = 14 cm

Volume of the cone = (1/3) × π × r2 × h

⇒ Volume of the cone = (1/3) × 22/7 × 72 × 14

⇒ Volume of the cone = (1/3) × 22 × 49 × 2

⇒ Volume of the cone = (1/3) × 2156

⇒ Volume of the cone = 718.67 cm3

Volume of the removed portion (V) = Volume of the cube - Volume of the cone

⇒ V = 2744 - 718.67

⇒ V = 2025.33 cm3

3V = 3 × 2025.33

⇒ 3V = 6076 cm3

The value of 3V is 6076 cm3.

Given:

Diameter of semicircle = 14√2 cm

Radius = 14√2/2 = 7√2 cm

Total no. of chords = 6

Concept:

Since the chords are equal in length, they will subtend equal angles at the centre. Calculate the area of one sector and subtract the area of the isosceles triangle formed by a chord and radius, then multiply the result by 6 to get the desired result.

Formula used:

Area of sector = (θ/360°) × πr2

Area of triangle = 1/2 × a × b × Sin θ

Calculation:

The angle subtended by each chord = 180°/no. of chord

⇒ 180°/6

⇒ 30°

Area of sector AOB = (30°/360°) × (22/7) × 7√2 × 7√2

⇒ (1/12) × 22 × 7 × 2

⇒ (77/3) cm2

Area of triangle AOB = 1/2 × a × b × Sin θ

⇒ 1/2 × 7√2 × 7√2 × Sin 30°

⇒ 1/2 × 7√2 × 7√2 × 1/2

⇒ 49/2 cm2

∴ Area of shaded region = 6 × (Area of sector AOB - Area of triangle AOB)

⇒ 6 × [(77/3) – (49/2)]

⇒ 6 × [(154 – 147)/6]

⇒ 7 cm2

Area of shaded region is 7 cm2

Formula used

Area = length × breath

Calculation

The garden EFGH is shown in the figure. Where EF = 220 meters & EH = 70 meters.

The width of the path is 4 meters.

Now the area of the path leaving the four colored corners

= [2 × (220 × 4)] + [2 × (70 × 4)]

= (1760 + 560) square meter

= 2320 square meters

Now, the area of 4 square colored corners:

4 × (4 × 4)

{∵ Side of each square = 4 meter}

= 64 square meter

The total area of the path = the area of the path leaving the four colored corners + square colored corners

⇒ Total area of the path = 2320 + 64 = 2384 square meter

∴ Option 4 is the correct answer.

  2. Rs. 550
  3. Rs. 600
  4. Rs. 400

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : Rs. 550

Mensuration Question 8 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Given:

The width of the path around a square field = 4.5 m

The area of the path = 105.75 m2

Formula used:

The perimeter of a square = 4 × Side

The area of a square = (Side)2

Calculation:

Let, each side of the field = x

Then, each side with the path = x + 4.5 + 4.5 = x + 9

So, (x + 9)2 - x2 = 105.75

⇒ x2 + 18x + 81 - x2 = 105.75

⇒ 18x + 81 = 105.75

⇒ 18x = 105.75 - 81 = 24.75

⇒ x = 24.75/18 = 11/8

∴ Each side of the square field = 11/8 m

The perimterer = 4 × (11/8) = 11/2 m

So, the total cost of fencing = (11/2) × 100 = Rs. 550

∴ The cost of fencing of the field is Rs. 550

Shortcut TrickIn such types of questions, 

Area of path outside the Square is, 

⇒ (2a + 2w)2w = 105.75

here, a is a side of a square and w is width of a square

⇒ (2a + 9)9 = 105.75

⇒ 2a + 9 = 11.75

⇒ 2a = 2.75

Perimeter of a square = 4a

⇒ 2 × 2a = 2 × 2.75 = 5.50

costing of fencing = 5.50 × 100 = 550

∴ The cost of fencing of the field is Rs. 550

Length of an arc of a circle is 4.5π.

Area of ​​the sector circumscribed by it is 27π cm2.

Formula Used : 

Area of sector = θ/360 × πr2

Length of arc = θ/360 × 2πr

Calculation : 

According to question,

⇒ 4.5π = θ/360 × 2πr 

⇒ 4.5 = θ/360 × 2r   -----------------(1)

⇒ 27π = θ/360 × πr2 

⇒ 27 = θ/360 × r2       ---------------(2)

Doing equation (1) ÷ (2)

⇒ 4.5/27 = 2r/πr2

⇒ 4.5/27 = 2/r

⇒ r = (27 × 2)/4.5

⇒ Diameter = 2r = 24

∴ The correct answer is 24.

The ratio of the cylinder's curved surface area to its Total surface area is 2/5.

Formula used:

The curved surface area of the cylinder = 2πRh

The total surface area of cylinder = 2πR(R + h)

The volume of the cylinder = πR2h

The volume of the solid hemisphere = 2/3πr³ 

(where r is the radius of a solid hemisphere and R is the radius of a cylinder)

Calculations:

According to the question,

CSA/TSA = 2/5

⇒ [2πRh]/[2πR(R + h)] = 2/5

⇒ h/(R + h) = 2/5

⇒ 5h = 2R + 2h

⇒ h = (2/3)R .......(1)

The cylinder's volume and the volume of a solid hemisphere are equal.

⇒ πR2h = (2/3)πr3

⇒ R2 × (2/3)R = (2/3) × (21)3

⇒ R3 = (21)3

⇒ R = 21 cm

∴ The radius (in cm) of its base is 21 cm.
