Right Circular Cylinder Question 1:
The length and breadth of a rectangle are in the ratio 9 : 5, respectively, and the perimeter of the rectangle is 280 cm. If the area of the rectangle is equal to the area of the top surface of a solid cylinder, then find the curved surface area of the cylinder given that its radius is 120% of its height.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Right Circular Cylinder Question 1 Detailed Solution
Find Length and Breadth of the Rectangle
Let length= 9x, breadth= 5x.
Perimeter = 2(9x + 5x) = 280
2(14x) = 280 ⟹ 28x = 280 ⟹ x = 10
Thus,
Length = 9x = 90 cm, Breadth = 5x = 50 cm
Area of rectangle = 90 × 50 = 4500 cm2.
The top surface of the cylinder is a circle with area πr2
Given:
πr2 = 4500 ⟹ r2 = 4500π
Given: Radius r = 120% of height h, so:
r = 1.2h ⟹ h = r / 1.2 = 5r / 6
Now, let's find the Curved Surface Area of Cylinder:
Curved surface area = 2πrh
Substituteh = 5r / 6:
CSA = 2πr(5r/6) = 10πr2 / 6 = 5πr2 / 3
Since πr2 = 4500:
CSA = 5 × 4500 / 3 = 7500 cm2
Thus, the correct answer is 7500 cm2.
Right Circular Cylinder Question 2:
A rectangular sheet of 31.4 cm x 10 cm size is rolled across its length to make a cylinder without overlap. What will be the approximate volume of the cylinder?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Right Circular Cylinder Question 2 Detailed Solution
Given:
Length of rectangular sheet = 31.4 cm
Breadth of rectangular sheet = 10 cm
Formula used:
Circumference of the base of the cylinder = Length of the sheet
Height of the cylinder = Breadth of the sheet
Volume of the cylinder = π × r2 × h
Where, r = radius of the base, h = height
Calculation:
Length of the sheet = Circumference of the base = 2πr
⇒ 31.4 = 2 × 3.14 × r
⇒ r = 31.4 / (2 × 3.14)
⇒ r = 5 cm
Height of the cylinder = Breadth of the sheet = 10 cm
Volume of the cylinder = π × r2 × h
⇒ Volume = 3.14 × (5)2 × 10
⇒ Volume = 3.14 × 25 × 10
⇒ Volume = 785 cm3
∴ The correct answer is option (1).
Right Circular Cylinder Question 3:
Radius of two cylinder is [r – 3] and [ r + 4] m respectively. Ratio of radius two cylinder is 1: 2. Height of cylinder is 7 and 14 m more than radius of cylinder respectively. Find the difference between the volume of two cylinder?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Right Circular Cylinder Question 3 Detailed Solution
Calculation
So, [r – 3] / [r + 4] = 1 /2
Or, 2r – 6 = r + 4
r = 10
So, Radius of cylinder is 10 – 3 = 7 and 10 + 4 = = 14 respectively.
Height of cylinder is 14 and 28 respectively.
So, volume is cylinder = [22/7] × 14 × 7 × 7 = 2156
Volume of cylinder = [ 22/7] × 14 × 14 × 28 = 17248
So, difference is 17248 – 2156 = 15092
Right Circular Cylinder Question 4:
A rectangular sheet 31.4 cm × 10 cm is rolled across its length to make a cylinder and both ends of the cylinder are covered with additional circular sheets. What will be the total surface area of the covered cylinder approximately?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Right Circular Cylinder Question 4 Detailed Solution
Given:
Length of the rectangular sheet = 31.4 cm
Breadth of the rectangular sheet = 10 cm
The sheet is rolled across its length to form a cylinder with covered ends.
Formula used:
Total Surface Area of a closed cylinder = 2πr² + 2πrh
Where:
r = radius of the base
h = height of the cylinder
Calculations:
Circumference of the cylinder's base = Length of the rectangular sheet
⇒ 2πr = 31.4
⇒ r = 31.4 / (2 × 3.14)
⇒ r = 5 cm
Height of the cylinder = Breadth of the rectangular sheet
⇒ h = 10 cm
Total Surface Area = 2πr² + 2πrh
⇒ Total Surface Area = 2 × 3.14 × 5² + 2 × 3.14 × 5 × 10
⇒ Total Surface Area = 157 + 314 = 471 cm²
∴ The correct answer is option (3).

Water flows out through a pipe, whose internal radius is 3 cm, at the rate of x cm per second into a cylindrical tank, the radius of whose base is 60 cm. If the level of water in the tank rises by 15 cm in 5 minutes, then the value of x is :
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Right Circular Cylinder Question 5 Detailed Solution
Given:
Internal radius of the pipe (rpipe) = 3 cm
Rate of water flow from the pipe (speed of water) = x cm/second
Radius of the base of the cylindrical tank (Rtank) = 60 cm
Rise in water level in the tank (htank) = 15 cm
Time taken (T) = 5 minutes
Formula used:
Volume of water flowing out of the pipe in a given time = Area of cross-section of pipe × Speed of water × Time
Volume of water in cylindrical tank = πR2h
Calculation:
T = 5 minutes × 60 seconds/minute = 300 seconds
Volume of water flowed from pipe = Volume of water in the tank
Volume of water flowed from pipe = (π × rpipe2) × (rate of flow) × Time
= π × (3 cm)2 × (x cm/second) × (300 seconds)
= π × 9 × x × 300 cm3 = 2700πx cm3
Volume of water in the tank = π × Rtank2 × htank
= π × (60 cm)2 × (15 cm)
= π × 3600 × 15 cm3
= 54000π cm3
Equating the two volumes:
2700πx = 54000π
2700x = 54000
x = 54000 / 2700
x = 540 / 27
x = 20
∴ The correct answer is option 3.

The ratio between the height and radius of the base of a cylinder is 7 ∶ 5.
Volume is 14836.5 cm3
Formula used:
Volume of cylinder = πr2h
TSA of cylinder = 2πr(r + h)
Calculation:
Let the height be 7x and radius be 5x
According to the question,
Volume = π (5x)2 × 7x
⇒ 14836.5 = (3.14)(25x2) × 7x
⇒ 14836.5 = (3.14)(25x2) × 7x
⇒ 175x3 = 14836.5/3.14
⇒ x3 = 4725/175
⇒ x3 = 27
⇒ x = 3
Now,
Radius = 5x = 5 × 3 = 15 cm
Height = 7x = 7 × 3 = 21 cm
For TSA of cylinder,
TSA = 2(3.14) × 15 × (15 + 21)
⇒ TSA = 6.28 × 15 × 36
⇒ TSA = 3391.2 cm2
∴ The TSA of the cylinder is 3391.2 cm2.

Sum of radius and height of the cylinder = 39 cm
Total surface area of the cylinder = 1716 cm2
Concept used:
Total surface area of a cylinder = 2πr(h + r)
Volume = πr2h
Here,
r = radius
h = height
Calculation:
Let the radius and the height of the cylinder be r and h,
According to the question,
2πr(h + r) = 1716 ----(i)
(h + r) = 39 ----(ii)
Putting the value of eq (ii) in eq (i) we get,
2πr × 39 = 1716
⇒ 2πr = 1716/39
⇒ 2πr = 44
⇒ πr = 22
⇒ r = 22 × (7/22)
⇒ r = 7
So, radius = 7 cm
Now, by putting the value of r in the eq (ii) we get
h + 7 = 39
⇒ h = 32
So, height = 32 cm
Now, volume = (22/7) × 72 × 32
