A 5 m wide cloth is used to make a conical tent of base diameter 14 m and height 24 m. Find the cost of cloth used at the rate of Rs. 25 per metre square. [Use π = 22/7]
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Right Circular Cone Question 1 Detailed Solution
Given:
breadth = 5 m
diameter = 14 m
height = 24 m
Rate = Rs. 25/m
Formula used:
CSA(Cone) = 22/7 x r x l
l2 = h2 + r2
r = radius of the cone/tent(here)
h = slant height
CSA = Curved Surface Area
Solution:
r = 14/2 = 7 m
l = \(\sqrt{24^2 + 7^2} = \sqrt{576 + 49} = \sqrt{625}\)
l = 25 m
CSA = 22/7 x 7 x 25
CSA = 550 m2
Cost of cloth required = 550 x 25 = Rs. 13750
Hence, the correct option is 2.
Right Circular Cone Question 2:
The cost of polishing the total surface area of a solid cone at ₹ 0.50 per cm² is ₹ 5632, and the circumference of its base is 176 cm. What is the height of the cone ? (Use )
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Right Circular Cone Question 2 Detailed Solution
Given:
Cost of polishing the total surface area of a solid cone = ₹ 5632
Rate of polishing = ₹ 0.50 per cm2
Circumference of the base of the cone = 176 cm
Formula used:
Total Surface Area (TSA) = Total Cost / Rate per cm2
Circumference of the base of a cone (C) = 2πr (where r is the radius of the base)
Total surface area of a cone (TSA) = πr(r + l) (where l is the slant height)
Relationship between height (h), radius (r), and slant height (l): l2 = r2 + h2 (Pythagorean theorem)
Calculation:
TSA = Total Cost / Rate per cm2
TSA = 5632 / 0.50
TSA = 5632 × 2
TSA = 11264 cm2
Circumference (C) = 2πr
176 = 2 × (22/7) × r
176 = (44/7) × r
r = (176 × 7) / 44
r = 4 × 7 = 28 cm
Total Surface Area (TSA) = πr(r + l)
11264 = (22/7) × 28 × (28 + l)
11264 = 22 × 4 × (28 + l)
11264 = 88 × (28 + l)
28 + l = 11264 / 88
28 + l = 128
l = 128 - 28 = 100 cm
Using the Pythagorean theorem: l2 = r2 + h2
1002 = 282 + h2
10000 = 784 + h2
h2 = 10000 - 784
h2 = 9216
h = √9216 = 96
∴ The correct answer is option 4.
Right Circular Cone Question 3:
The volumes of two cones are in the ratio of 3 ∶ 2 and their radii are in the ratio 3 ∶ 4. The ratio of their heights is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Right Circular Cone Question 3 Detailed Solution
Given:
Ratio of volumes of two cones = 3 : 2
Ratio of radii of the two cones = 3 : 4
Formula:
The volume of a cone is given by the formula:
V = (1/3)πr2h
Solution:
Let's assume the radii of the two cones are 3x and 4x, where x is a common factor.
So, the ratio of their radii is 3x : 4x.
The volume of the first cone (V1) can be expressed as:
V1 = (1/3)π(3x)2h1
V1 = (1/3)π9x2h1
The volume of the second cone (V2) can be expressed as:
V2 = (1/3)π(4x)2h1
V2 = (1/3)π16x2h1
Given that the ratio of volumes of the two cones is 3 : 2, we have:
V1/V2 = 3/2
9x2h1/16x2h2 = 3/2
h1 / h2 = 48x2/18x2
h1/h2 = 8/3
Therefore, the ratio of the heights of the two cones is 8 : 3.

Given:
Radius (r) = 5 cm
Slant height (l) = 16 cm
Formula used:
Total surface area of cone = πr(r + l)
Where, π = 22/7
Calculation:
Total surface area = (22/7) × 5 × (5 + 16)
⇒ Total surface area = (22/7) × 5 × 21
⇒ Total surface area = (22 × 5 × 21)/7
⇒ Total surface area = (2310)/7
⇒ Total surface area = 330 cm2
∴ The correct answer is option (3).
