Q1. If a right circular cone of height $24\text{ cm}$ has a volume of $1232\text{ cm}^3$, then the total surface area of the cone is: (use $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$)

यदि $24\text{ cm}$ ऊंचाई वाले एक लंब वृत्तीय शंकु का आयतन $1232\text{ cm}^3$ है, तो शंकु का कुल पृष्ठीय क्षेत्रफल है: ($\pi = \frac{22}{7}$ लें)

  1. A. $806\text{ cm}^2$
  2. B. $704\text{ cm}^2$
  3. C. $904\text{ cm}^2$
  4. D. $608\text{ cm}^2$

Solution

$V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h = 1232 \Rightarrow \frac{22}{7} \times r^2 \times 8 = 1232 \Rightarrow r = 7$. $l = \sqrt{24^2 + 7^2} = 25$. TSA = $\pi r(l+r) = \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 32 = 704\text{ cm}^2$.

Q2. A square pyramid has a base side of 12 cm and a slant height of 10 cm. Find its lateral surface area.

एक वर्गाकार पिरामिड की आधार भुजा 12 सेमी और तिर्यक ऊंचाई 10 सेमी है। इसका पार्श्व पृष्ठीय क्षेत्रफल ज्ञात कीजिए।

  1. A. $240\text{ cm}^2$
  2. B. $120\text{ cm}^2$
  3. C. $480\text{ cm}^2$
  4. D. $60\text{ cm}^2$

Solution

$LSA = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Perimeter} \times \text{Slant} = \frac{1}{2} \times 48 \times 10 = 240$.

Q3. The radii of the two cones are in the ratio of 2: 5 and their volumes are in the ratio of 3: 5. What is the ratio of their heights?

  1. A. 15:4
  2. B. 11:15
  3. C. 13:11
  4. D. 4:11

Solution

V1/V2 = (R1/R2)² * (H1/H2) => 3/5 = (4/25) * (H1/H2). Therefore, H1/H2 = (3*25) / (5*4) = 15/4. Ratio is 15:4.

Q4. If the length, breadth, and height of a cuboid is $8\text{ cm}$, $4\text{ cm}$, and $6\text{ cm}$, respectively, then the volume of the cuboid is:

यदि एक घनाभ की लंबाई, चौड़ाई और ऊंचाई क्रमशः $8\text{ cm}$, $4\text{ cm}$ और $6\text{ cm}$ है, तो घनाभ का आयतन क्या है?

  1. A. $218\text{ cm}^3$
  2. B. $192\text{ cm}^3$
  3. C. $96\text{ cm}^3$
  4. D. $172\text{ cm}^3$

Solution

Volume of cuboid = $L \times B \times H = 8 \times 4 \times 6 = 192\text{ cm}^3$.

Q5. What is the volume (in cm³) of a cylinder if the radius of the cylinder is 8 cm and the height is 14 cm? (Take π = 22/7)

  1. A. 2686
  2. B. 2816
  3. C. 2784
  4. D. 2456

Solution

Volume of cylinder = π * r^2 * h = (22/7) * 8^2 * 14 = 22 * 64 * 2 = 2816 cm³.
