Q.No.17: The sports teacher decides to organize a cricket tournament in the
school. Students are asked to practice well for their selection in either of the
teams which results in a shortage of sports equipment. A cricket stump along
with other necessary tools are to be ordered. A cricket stump comprises a
cylinder with a cone attached to its base. The diameter of the stum is 3 cm.
The height of the cylindrical part of the stump is 35 cm and the height of its
conical part is 4 cm.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

(a) What is the slant height of the conical part of the cricket stump?
(b) Find the curved surface area of the conical part of the stump.
(c) Find the total surface area of the stump.
(d) What is the amount of wood required to make a stump of the given
dimensions? [Use π = 3.14]
Q.No.18: Famous hand knotted Persian, Turkish specimens of carpets and rugs
have been fascinating the world since centuries. Till today, there is a huge
demand of such beauties in the Western markets. Materials such as cotton,
silk, wool, and jute have also been used to knot such handmade
marvels. Hand-made carpets are traditionally more expensive than those made
by machines. Though there are several carpet-making methods, including
braiding, hand tying (or hand knotting), hooking, shearing and tufting, the
most common of these are braiding and hand knotting. Around the cities and in
the workshops, much time is emphasized on developing and refining the old
traditional patterns which are all first drawn by hand on paper. Since,
manufacturing the carpets require hours of labour, the manufacturing
companies came up with an algorithm to figure out the measurements of the
rectangular carpets of different sizes. The length of the carpet is kept constant
at 30 m and the breadth keeps varying from 2, 4, 6, 8,... to give the required
perimeter of the carpet.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

(a) The algorithm gives the perimeter of the rectangular carpets. Do the
perimeters of the rectangular carpet form an AP?
(b) What will be the length of the thread required to make the border of the
30th rectangular carpet?
(c) The carpet having perimeter 264 m will be which numbered carpet?
(d) If 51 carpets were made in a day, how much thread in all was used to make
the border?
