Q.1. 2 cubes each of volume 64 cm 3 are joined end to end. Find the surface area of
the resulting cuboid.
Solution. Let the side of cube = y cm
Volume of cube = 64 cm3
Then, volume of cube = side3 = y 3
As per condition,
y 3 = 64

y 3 = 43
y = 4 cm
Hence, side of cube is 4 cm.
For the resulting cuboid
length (l ) = 4 + 4 = 8 cm
breadth (b) = 4 cm
height ( h) = 4 cm
Surface area of the resulting cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl )

Putting the values of l , b and h, we have


= 2(8 4 + 4 4 + 4 8)

= 2(32 + 16 + 32) = 2(80) = 160 cm 2


Q.2. A vessel is in the form of a hollow hemisphere mounted by a hollow cylinder.
The diameter of the hemisphere is 14 cm and the total height of the vessel is 13
cm. Find the inner surface area of the vessel.
Solution. Diameter of the hollow hemisphere = Diameter of the hollow cylinder
= 14 cm
14
Radius of the hollow hemisphere =
= 7 cm
2

Radius of the base of the hollow cylinder = 7 cm


Total height of the vessel = 13 cm
Height of the hollow cylinder
= (13 7) cm = 6 cm
Inner surface area of the vessel
= Inner surface of the hemisphere
+ Inner surface area of the hollow cylinder

Q.3. A toy is in the form of a cone of radius 3.5 cm mounted on a hemisphere of
same radius. The total height of the toy is 15.5 cm. Find the total surface area of
the toy.
Solution.
Radius of the cone = Radius of hemisphere
= 3.5 cm
Total height of the toy = 15.5 cm

Height of the cone = 15.5 3.5 = 12 cm


= 182 = 182

Slant height of the cone (l ) = r 2 + h 2


= (3.5)2 + (12)2
= 156.25 = 12.5 cm
Slant height = 12.5 cm
Total surface area of the toy
= Curved surface area of the hemisphere
+ Curved surface area of the cone
= 2 (3.5) 2 + (3.5)(12.5)
= 24.5 + 43.75

Q.6. A medicine capsule is in the shape of a cylinder with two hemispheres stuck to
each of its ends (see figure below). The length of the entire capsule is 14 mm
and the diameter of the capsule is 5 mm. Find its suface area.

Solution. Diameter of capsule = Diameter of hemisphere


= Diameter of cylinder = 5 mm

Radius of the hemisphere = r = mm

Hence, surface area of capsule = 220 mm2 .


Q.7. A tent is in the shape of a cylinder surmounted by a conical top. If the height
and diameter of the cylindrical part are 2.1 m and 4 m respectively, and the

tent. Also, find the cost of the canvas of the tent at the rate of Rs 500 per m2
(Note that the base of the tent will not be covered with canvas.)
Solution.
Radius of cone = 2 cm
Radius of cylinder = 2 cm
Total surface area of the tent
= Curved surface area of the cylinder
+ Curved surface area of the cone
= 2 (2)(2.1) + (2)(2.8) = 8.4 + 5.6
22
= 14 = 14
= 44 m 2
7
Cost of the canvas of the tent at the rate of Rs 500 per m2
= 44 500 = Rs 22000
Hence, cost of the canvas is Rs 22000.
Q.8. From a solid cylinder whose height is 2.4 cm and diameter 1.4 cm, a conical
cavity of the same height and same diameter is hollowed out. Find the total
surface area of the remaining solid to the nearest cm 2 .
Solution.
Height of cylinder = 2.4 cm
1.4
Radius of cylinder = r =
= 0.7 cm
2
Radius of cone = 0.7 cm
We know, in AOB, l is the slant height,

l = (0.7)2 + (2.4)2 = 2.5 cm


Total surface area of remaining solid = C.S.A. of cylinder

Q.9. A wooden article was made by scooping out a hemisphere from each end of a
solid cylinder, as shown in figure. If the height of the cylinder is 10 cm, and its
base is of radius 3.5 cm, find the total surface area of the article.
Solution.
Height of cylinder = 10 cm
Radius of cylinder = 3.5 cm
Total surface area of the article

Q.9. A farmer connects a pipe of internal diameter 20 cm from a canal into a
cylindrical tank in her field, which is 10 m in diameter and 2 m deep. If water
flows through the pipe at the rate of 3 km/h, in how much time will the tank be
filled ?
Solution.
Diameter of cylindrical tank = 10 m

Q.2. The slant height of a frustum of a cone is 4 cm and the perimeters
(circumference) of its circular ends are 18 cm and 6 cm. Find the
curved surface area of the frustum.
Solution. Let r1 be the radius of upper end and r2 be the radius of lower end
Then, slant height l = 4 cm
Circumference of upper end,
2 r1 = 18 cm r1 = 9 cm
Circumference of lower end,
2 r2 = 6 cm r2 = 3 cm
Curved surface area of the frustum = C.S.A. of upper frustum

Solution.
Radius of upper end, r1 = 10 cm
Radius of lower end, r2 = 4 cm
Slant height of frustum, l = 15 cm

Q.3. A cistern, internally measuring 150 cm 120 cm 110 cm, has 129600 cm 3 of
water in it. Porous bricks are placed in the water until the cistern is full to the
brim. Each brick absorbs one-seventeenth of its own volume of water. How
many bricks can be put in without overflowing the water, each brick being
22.5 cm 7.5 cm 6.5 cm ?
Solution.
Volume of brick = 22.5 7.5 6.5 = 1096.875 cm3
Volume of cistern = 150 120 110 = 1980000 cm3
