SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS

Sample Question 1 : A cone of maximum size is carved out from a cube of edge
14 cm. Find the surface area of the cone and of the remaining solid left out after
the cone carved out.

Ans: The cone of maximum size that is carved out from a cube of edge = 14 cm,
base radius = 7 cm and height = 14 cm.
Surface area of the cone =  rl +  r 2
22 22
=  7  7 2 + 142 + (7) 2
7 7
= 154 5 + 154 cm 2
= 154( 5 + 1) cm 2
Surface area of the cube = 6 142 = 1176 cm2

So, surface area of the remaining solid left out after the cone is carved out
= (1176 − 154 + 154 5) cm 2
= 1022 + 154 5 cm 2

Sample Question 5: Three cubes of a metal whose edges are in the ratio 3:4:5
are melted and converted into a single cube whose diagonal is 12 3 cm. Find
the edges of the three cubes.
Ans: Let the edges of three cubes (in cm ) be 3x, 4x and 5x respectively.
Volume of the cubes after melting is = (3x)3 + (4 x)3 + (5x)3 = 216 cm3 .
Let 𝑎 be the side of new cube which has formed after melting.
Therefore, a3 = 216x3
So, a = 6x,
Diagonal = a 2 + a 2 + a 2 = a 3
But it is given that diagonal of the new cube is 12 3 cm . Therefore, a 3 = 12 3 , i.e.,

a=12.
This gives x = 2. Therefore, edges of the three cubes are 6 cm , 8 cm and 10 cm
respectively.
EXERCISE 12.3
1. Three metallic solid cubes whose edges are 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm are melted
and formed into a single cube. Find the edges of the cube so formed.
Ans: Volume of new cube is equal to the sum of volumes of three cubes in recasting
process. The edge of first cube is 3cm, the edge of second cube is 4 cm and the edge
of third cube is 5cm.
V = V1 + V2 + V3
 a 3 = a13 + a23 + a33
 a3 = 33 + 43 + 53

 a3 = 27 + 64 + 125
 a3 = 216

5. Two identical cubes each of volume 64 cm3 are joined together end to end.
What is the surface area of the resulting cuboid?
Ans: Two identical cubes of side a are joined end to end to form a cuboid. Let
length, breadth and height of cuboid is 2a units, a units and a units respectively.
So, the surface area of the resulting cuboid is
= 2 lb + bh + hl 

= 2  2a.a + 2a.a + a.a 
= 10a 2 ... ( i )
Volume of the cube = 64 cm3

7. Two cones with same base radius 8cm and height 15cm are joined together
along their bases. Find the surface area of the shape so formed.
Ans: When two identical cones are joined base to base, then the total surface area
of new solid becomes equal to the sum of curved surface areas of both the cones.

So, the total surface area of solid =  rl +  rl = 2 rl
In two cones, r = 8cm, h = 15cm
By the Pythagoras theorem l 2 = r 2 + h2 = 82 + 152 = 64 + 225 = 289
 l 2 = (17)2
 l = 17 cm
Total surface area of solid = 2 rl

base is 40cm and depth 24 cm?

Ans: When a fluid (water) flows through a pipe of a area of cross-section A with
velocity v, then volume of water coming from pipe in time t
= Area of cross − sec tion  length
= A  v.t [ V = Area of base  Height ]

 t = 51min and 12sec
Hence, conical tank will fill in 51 min and 12 sec.
6. A heap of rice is in the form of a cone of diameter 9m and height 3.5 m. Find
the volume of rice. How much canvas cloth is required to just cover the heap?

l 2 = r 2 + h2 = (4.5)2 + (3.5)2 = 20.25 + 12.25
 l 2 = 32.50
 l = 32.5 = 5.7m

Area of canvas = 80.614m2
7. A factory manufactures 1,20,000 pencils daily. The pencils are cylindrical in

shape each of length 25cm and circumference of base as 1.5cm. Determine the
cost of colouring the curved surfaces of the pencils manufactured in one day
at Rs. 0.05 per m2 .
Ans: Shape of the pencils is cylindrical. The height of pencil is h = 25 cm and the
circumference is 2 r = 1.5 cm
Curved surface area of one pencil = 2 rh
Therefore, curved surface area of 1,20,000 pencils
= 1, 20,000  2 rh = 1, 20,000 1.5  25cm2
1, 20, 000 1.5  25 2

= dm = 600  75 dm2
10 100
Therefore the cost of colouring = 600  75  0.05 = 2250
Hence, cost of colouring is Rs. 2250.
8. Water is flowing at the rate of 15 km per hour through a pipe of diameter

14 cm into a cuboidal pond which is 50m long and 44m wide. In what time will
the level of water in the pond rise by 21 cm?
Ans: Volume of flowing water = A.v.t. where, A = Area of cross-section of pipe
or flowing water, v = Speed of water and t = time
Here, A is equivalent to area of base and height equal to distance (v.t) and we know
14
that V = area of base  height. The radius of the pipe is r = cm = 7 cm = 0.07 m , the
2

km m
speed of the water is v = 15 = 15000 . The length, breadth and height of the pond
hr hr
is 50 m, 44 m and 21 cm = 0.21m
Volume of flowing water = Volume of same water in pond
A.v.t = l  b  h
  r 2 .vt = l  b  h
22
  0.07  0.07 15000  t (hrs.) = 50  44  0.21

50  44  0.21 7
t =

 t = 20 hrs
Hence, time required is 20 hours.
9. A solid iron cuboidal block of dimensions 4.4m  2.6m 1m is recasted into a
hollow cylindrical pipe of internal radius 30cm and thickness 5cm. Find the
length of the pipe.
Ans: The length, breadth and height of the cuboid is 4.4m, 2.6 m and 1 m
respectively. In the terms of centimetres given as 440cm, 260 cm and 100 cm.
The internal radius of the cylindrical pipe is r1 = 30 cm and the thickness is 5 cm.
Therefore the external radius is r2 = 30 + 5 = 35 cm .
To find: The height of the cylindrical pipe.

Cuboid is recasted into hollow cylindrical pipe.
Volume of cuboid = Volume of cylindrical pipe (hollow)

 lbh =  r22 H −  r12 H
 lbh =  H [r22 − r12 ]
22
 440  260 100 =  H [352 − 302 ]

22
 1,14, 40, 000 =  H [1225 − 900]

1,14, 40, 000  7

H = cm
22  325
 H = 11200 cm
 H = 112m
Hence, the length of pipe is 112 m.
10. 500 persons are taking a dip into a cuboidal pond which is 80m long and
50 m broad. what is the rise of water level in the pond, if the average
displacement of the water by a person is 0.04 m3 ?

Ans: Let the rise of water level in the pond be x m.
The length, breadth and height of the cuboidal pond is given as 80 m, 50 m and x
m respectively. Number of persons = 500
Let the water level before the persons took a dip was at L1 . Now when 500 persons
dipped into the pond, water level rises from L1 to L2 of height x m. The volume of
water between two levels will be equal to the water displaced by 500 persons.
Volume of water raised = Volume of water replaced by 500 persons ( V of cuboid)
 lbh = 500  0.04
 80  50  x = 500  0.04
500  0.04
x= = 0.005m = 0.5 cm
80  50
Hence, the rise of water level in the pond is 0.5cm.

sand. This bucket is emptied on the ground, and a conical heap of sand is
formed. If the height of conical heap is 24 cm, find the radius and slant height
of the heap.
Ans: By identifying the shapes, we have cone and cylinder. On reshaping from
cylindrical to conical, the volume of sand emptied out remains same.
The radius and height of the cylinder is given as R = 18 cm and H = 32 cm
respectively. The height of the conical heap is given as h = 24 cm
To find: The radius and slant height of the conical heap
Volume of conical heap = Volume of cylinder

Radius of conical heap is 36 cm.
On considering the Pythagoras theorem, l 2 = r 2 + h2

= (36)2 + (24)2
= 1296 + 576
= 1872
 l 2 = 1872
 l = 1872 = 43.266 cm
Hence, radius and slant height are 36 cm and 43.2666 cm respectively.
14. A rocket is in the form of a right circular cylinder closed at the lower end
and surmounted by a cone with the same radius as that of cylinder. The
diameter and height of cylinder are 6 cm and 12 cm, respectively. If the slant
height of the conical portion is 5cm, then find the total surface area and
volume of rocket. (Use  = 3.14)
6
Ans: The radius and height of the cylinder is given as r = = 3 cm and 12 cm
2
respectively. The radius and the slant height of the cone is given by 3 cm and 5 cm
respectively.
To find: The height of the cone

On considering the Pythagoras theorem we have l 2 = r 2 + h2 or h2 = l 2 − r 2
 h2 = 52 − 32

 h2 = 25 − 9 = 16
 h = 4 cm
Now, volume of rocket = Volume of cylinder + Volume of cone

Hence, the surface area of rocket is 301.44cm2
15. A building is in the form of a cylinder surmounted by a hemispherical

19 3
vaulted dome and contain 41 m of air. If the internal diameter of dome is
21
equal to its total height above the floor, find the height of the building.
Ans: The radius of Dome and cylinder is given by r. H = 2r
 h + r = 2r
 h = 2r − r = r
19 880 3
Volume of building = 41 = m

 r = 2m
Hence, height of the building is 2  2 = 4 m.
16. A hemispherical bowl of internal radius 9 cm is full of liquid. The liquid is

to be filled into cylindrical shaped bottles each of radius 1.5 cm and height 4
cm. How many bottles are needed to empty the bowl?
Ans: The radius and height of the cylindrical bottle is given as r = 1.5 cm and 4 cm
respectively. The radius of the hemisphere is R = 9 cm.
As the volume of liquid does not change
So, Volume of n bottles = Volume of hemisphere

17. A solid right circular cone of height 120cm and radius 60 cm is placed in a
right circular cylinder full of water of height 180 cm such that it touches the
bottom. Find the volume of water left in cylinder, if the radius of the cylinder
is equal to the radius to the cone.
Ans: The radius and height of cone is given as r = 60 cm and h = 120 cm
respectively. The radius and height of cylinder is given as r = 60 cm and H = 180
cm
Cone is placed inside the cylindrical vessel full of water. So, the volume of water
from cylinder will over flow equal to the volume of cone.
Hence, the water left in cylinder = Vol. of cylinder - Vol. of cone

Volume of water left after immersing the cone into cylinder full of water

Vol. of water in cylinder = 1.584 m3
Hence, required volume of water left = 1.584 m3 .
18. Water flows through a cylindrical pipe, whose inner radius is 1 cm at the
rate of 80 cm per second in an empty cylindrical tank, the radius of whose
base is 40 cm. What is the rise of water level in tank in half an hour?
Ans: Main concept: Volume of flowing water = A.v.t
Area of base = A = Area of cross-section of flowing water. As we know that the
distance is the product of speed and time. i.e., height = distance = speed  time =
v.t
Flowing water is filled in cylindrical tank. Hence, the volume of flowing water is
equal to volume of water in cylindrical tank. The speed of the flowing water is
v = 80 cm s −1 and the inner radius is 1 cm. The radius of the cylinder is R = 40 cm.
1 1
The time taken for the water rise is t = hr =  3600sec = 1800sec
2 2
Volume of water in cylindrical tank = Volume of flowing water
  R2 H = Av
. .t
  R2 H =  r 2v.t
 R2 H = r 2v.t
 40  40  H = 11 80 1800
80 1800
H =

 H = 90 cm
Hence, the rise of water level in cylindrical tank is 90 cm.

19. The rain water from a roof of dimensions 22m  20 m drains into a
cylindrical vessel having diameter of the base 2m and height 3.5 m. If the rain
water collected from the roof just fill the cylindrical vessel, then find the
rainfall in 𝐜𝐦.
Ans: The length, breadth and height of the cuboid is l = 22 m = 2200 cm, b = 20 m
= 2000 cm and h = x cm respectively. The radius and height of the cylinder is
given as r = 1 m = 100 cm and h = 3.5 m = 350 cm respectively.
If water from roof is not allowed to flow, then water level on roof rises upto x cm
(let) then volume of cuboidal shape of water will be equal to the volume of cylinder.
Volume of rain water = Volume of cylinder
 lbh =  r 2h

depressions and a cubical depression to hold the pens and pins respectively.
The dimensions of cuboid are 10 cm, 5cm, 4 cm. The radius of each of the
conical depression is 0.5 cm and depth is 2.1 cm. The edge of the cubical
depression is 3 cm. Find the volume of the wood in the entire stand.
Ans: A cuboidal piece of wood with depressions (4 cones and 1 cube) are made.
So, the volume of wood = Volume of cuboid - Volume of 4 cones - Volume of 1
cube

Length of cuboid (l) = 10 cm
Breadth of cuboid (b) = 5 cm
Height of cuboid (h) = 4 cm
Radius of cone (r) = 0.5 cm
Height of cone (H) = 2.1 cm
Side of cube (a) = 3 cm
Hence, the volume of the wood in the entire pen stand
