Chapter – Surface Area and Volumes

Important questions:

Ques:1) Find the total surface area of a cube of edge 10 cm. (Mark-1)

Solution: 

Given,

Edge of the cube = 10 cm 

We know that, 

Total Surface area of cube = 6a²

Total Surface area of cube = 6×10²

 = 600 cm²



Ques:2) Calculate the volume of a cuboid whose dimensions are 3.6 cm, 8.2 cm,
11 cm.(Mark-1)

Solution:

Given, 

Length of cuboid = 3.6 cm

Breadth of cuboid = 8.2 cm

Height of cuboid = 11 cm

We know that, 

Volume of cuboid 

= L×B×H

= 3.6 cm × 8.2 cm × 11 cm = 324.72 cm³

Therefore,Volume of cuboid is 324.72 cm³


Ques:3) Find the volume of right circular cylinder whose height is 20 cm and diameter of base is 14 cm.(Mark-1)

Solution:

Given, 

Diameter of base of cylinder (d)= 14 cm

Radius of base of cylinder(r)= d/2

 = 14/2

r = 7 cm

Height of the cylinder = 20 cm

We know that,

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

= 22/7 × 7² × 20

= 22 × 7 × 20

=22 × 140

= 3080 cm²


Ques:4) The slant height of a conical mountain is 2.5 km and the area of its base is 1.54 km². Find the height of mountain.(Mark-1)

Solution: 

Given,

Slant height of a conical mountain (l) = 2.5 km

Area of base of conical mountain (A) = 1.54 km² 

Now, We know that, 

Area of base of mountain(A)= πr²


1.54 = 22/7 × r²

r² = 1.54 × (22/7)

r = 2.2 km

To find height of the mountain,

Let the height of the mountain be ‘h’.

Now by applying pythagoras theorm,

               l² = r² + h²

Or,    2.5² = 2.2² + h²

Or,       h² = 2.5² – 2.2²

Or,.      h = 1.187 km



Ques:5) The surface area of a sphere is 154 cm². Find its radius.(Marks-2)

Solution:

Given, 

Surface area of sphere = 154 cm²

Now we know that, 

Surface area of sphere = 4πr²

154 cm² =  4πr²

154 = 4× 22/7 × r²

r² = 154×7/(22×4)

r = √(49/4)

r = 7/2 = 3.5


Ques:6) The height and slant height of a cone are 21 cm and 28 cm respectively.Find the radius of cone and volume of cone.(Marks-2)

Solution:

Given,

Height of the cone (h) = 21 cm

Slant height of the cone (l) = 28 cm

Now,

Let the radius of the come be ‘r’.

Now by applying pythagoras theorm,

               l² = r² + h²

Or,    28² = r² + 21²

Or,   28² – 21² = r²

Or,       r = √343

Or,     r = 18.52

Now, we know that,

Volume of cone = (1/3)πr²h

= 1/3 × 22/7 × 18.52² × 21

= 7545.78 cm³


Ques:7) Calculate the surface area of a sphere whose volume is 4851 cm³ (Marks-2).

Solution:

Given, 

Volume of the sphere = 4851 cm³

Now, we know that, 

Volume of sphere = (4/3)πr³

4851 cm³ =  (4/3)πr³

r³ = 4851×(3/4)×(7/22)
= 10.5

Now we know that, 

Surface area of sphere = 4πr²

= 4× (22/7)× 10.5²

= 1385.44 cm²


Ques:8) The circumference of the base of a cylinder vessel is 132 cm and its height is 25 cm. How many litres of water can it hold?(Marks-3)

Solution:

Given,

Circumerence of base of cylinder =132 cm

Height of the cylinder = 25cm

Now, we know that,

Circumerence of base of cylinder = 2πr
Also, 

2πr = 132

r = 132/2π

r = 21 cm

Now, Volume of cylinder = πr²h

= π ×21×21×25

= 34650 cm³

Volume of cylindrical vessel in litres =34650/1000

=34.65 litres


Ques:9) Find the number of spherical lead shots each 2.1 cm in radius that can be obtained from a cuboidal solid lead with dimensions 66cm × 42cm × 21cm.(Marks-3)

Solution:

Given,

Lenth of cuboidal solid lead (l) = 66 cm

Breadth of cuboidal solid lead (b) = 42 cm

Heightof cuboidal solid lead (h) = 21 cm
Radius of spherical lead shots (r)= 2.1 cm

Now,

Let the ‘n’ be the no. of Spherical lead shots formed by cuboidal solid lead.

Therefore, 

(Volume of cuboidal solid) =(n×Volume of each lead shots)

l×b×h = n × (4/3)× π × r³

66×42×21 = n × (4/3)× π × 2.1³1

n = 1500

Therefore,No. of Spherical lead shots formed by cuboidal solid lead. are 1500.


Ques:10) A village has a population of 4000, required 150 litre of water per head per day. It has a tank measuring  20m × 15m × 6m. For how many days will water of this tank last? What value is being showm if all measures are being taken to avoid the wastage of water by overflowing of tank.(Marks-4)

Solution: 

Given,

Total population in the village = 4000

Water required per head per day = 150 l

Also, Length of the water tank= 20m

Breadth of the water tank = 15 m

Height of the water tank = 6 m

Now, 

Total volume of water required by village 

=Total population ×water reqd.(per head)

= 4000×150

= 600000 litre

Also, we know that,

Volume of the tank = L×B×H

= 20×15×6 m³

= 1800 m³

= 1800×1000 litres

= 1800000

Now, 

Number of days water will last in the tank=

 =  Vol. Of tank /reqd. water per day

= 1800000/600000

= 3 days.

Therefore, water will last for 3 days.


Ques:11) The diameter of a roller is 84 cm and it length is 120 cm. It takes 500 complete revolutions to move once over to level a playground. Find the area of playground in meter square. Find the cost of leveling it at the rate ₹ 7.50 per square meter.(Marks-4)

Solution:

Given,

Diameter Of roller (d) = 84 cm= 0.84 m

Radius of roller(r)= 84/2=42 cm= 0.42m

Length of roller (h) = 120  = 1.20m

No. Of revolutions of roller to level the ground = 500

Now, we know that,

C.S.A of the roller = 2πrh

= 2 × 22/7 × 0.42 × 1.20

= 3.165 m²

Total area of the playground = 3.165×500

= 1582.56 m² 

Now, cost of levelling the playground at the rate of ₹7.50/m² = ₹ 7.50 × 1582.56 m²

= ₹ 11869.20


Ques:12) A farmer wants to dig a well either in the form of cuboidal shape of 1.5m × 1.5m × 7m or in the cylindrical shape of radius 75 cm and height 7 m. The rate of digging a well is ₹ 75/m³. The farmer decided to dig cylindrical form of well.(Use π= 22/7)
(a) Calculate the cost of digging in both the cases.

(b) By the decision what value is depicted by the farmer?(Marks-4)

Solution:

Given,

Dimensions of cuboidal well

Lenth of the well (l)= 1.5 m

Breadth of the well(b) = 1.5 m

Height of the well(h)= 7 m

Dimensions of cuboidal well
Radius of cylindrical well (r)= 0.75m

Height of the cylindrical well(H)= 7m

Now,

(i)Volume of the cuboidal well = L×B×H

= 1.5×1.5×7

= 15.75 m³

Now, 

Volume of cylindrical well = πr²h

= π×0.75×0.75 × 7

= 12.37 m³

Therefore,

 Cost of digging of cuboidal well at the  rate of ₹75/m³

 = ₹75×15.75 = ₹ 1181.25

Cost of digging of cylindrical well at the  rate of ₹75/m³

 ₹75×12.37 = ₹ 927.75


(ii)Choosing to dig a cylindrical well as compared to cuboidal well by farmer, shows that Farmer wants to reduce his labour work and Cost of digging.



Ques:13) A cuboidal box of external dimensions 84cm × 64cm × 17cm (open from the top) is made up of wood of thickness 2 cm. Find the:
(a) Volume of the inner cuboid.

(b) Outer lateral surface area.(Marks-4)

Solution:

Given,

External dimensions of cuboidal box ( Open Top)

Length = 84 cm

Breadth = 64 cm

Height = 17 cm

Thickness of the box = 2 cm

Now, 

Internal dimension of cuboidal box ( Open Top)

Length = 84-4 = 80 cm

Breadth =64-4 = 60 cm

Height = 17-2 = 15 cm

Now, 

(i)

Inner volume of cuboidal box=L ×B×H

=80×60×15

= 72000 cm³

(i)

Outer lateral surface area =2(L+B)×H

=2(84+64)×17

=2(148)×17

= 5032  cm²


Ques:14) A cubical tank whose side is 2m filled with water. The water from cubical tank is shifted to a cuboidal tank whose length, breadth and height are 250 cm, 200 cm, 2 m respectively. Find the depth of tank which will remain empty.(Marks-4)

Solution:



Ques:15) A residential colony has a population of 5400 and 60 litres of water is required per person per day. For the effective utilization of rain water, they constructed a water reservoir measuring 48m × 27m × 25m to collect the rain water. For how many days, the water of this tank is sufficient, if during rain the height of water level is 5 m?(Marks-4)

Ques:16) A lead pencil consists of a cylinder of wood with a solid cylinder of graphite filled in the interior. The diameter of pencil is 7mm and the diameter of graphite is 1mm. If the pencil is 14 cm long, find:

(a) volume of graphite.
