8. A hollow cube of internal edge 22cm is filled with spherical marbles of diameter 0.5 cm and it is assumed that 1/8 space of the cube remains unfilled. Then the number of marbles that the cube can accommodate is
(A) 142296
(B) 142396
(C) 142496
(D) 142596
Solution
(A) 142296
According to the question,
Volume of cube =223=10648cm3 
Volume of cube that remains unfilled =1/8×10648
=1331cm3 
Volume occupied by spherical marbles =10648−1331
= 9317cm3 
Radius of the spherical marble = 0.5/2
= 0.25cm
= 1/4cm
Volume of 1 spherical marble = (4/3) × (22/7) × (1/4)3 
= 11/168 cm3 
Numbers of spherical marbles, n = 9317 × (11/68)
= 142296

9. A metallic spherical shell of internal and external diameters 4 cm and 8 cm, respectively is melted and recast into the form a cone of base diameter 8cm. The height of the cone is
(A) 12cm
(B) 14cm
(C) 15cm
(D) 18cm
Solution

Volume of spherical shell = Volume of cone recast by melting
For Spherical Shell,
Internal diameter,
d1 = 4 cm
Internal radius,
r1 = 2 cm
External diameter,
d2 = 8 cm
External radius,
r2 = 4 cm
Now,
As volume of spherical shell = [4Ï€/3(r23 - r13)]
Where r1 and r2 are internal and external radii respectively. 
Volume of given shell = [4Ï€/3(43 - 23)]
= [(4Ï€/3) × 56]
= (224/3)Ï€
We know that, 
Volume of cone = (224/3)Ï€ cm3 
For cone, 
Base diameter = 8 cm 
Base radius, r = 4 cm 
Let Height of cone = 'h'..
We know, 
Volume of cone = (1/3)Ï€42 h
224Ï€/3 = 16Ï€h/3 
⇒ 16h = 224 
⇒ h = 14 cm 
So, Height of cone is 14 cm. 

10. A solid piece of iron in the form of a cuboid of dimensions 49cm × 33cm × 24cm, is molded to form a solid sphere. The radius of the sphere is
(A) 21cm
(B) 23cm
(C) 25cm
(D) 19cm
Solution
AS we know, 
Volume of cuboid = lbh
Where,
l = length,
b = breadth and
h = height
For given cuboid,
Length,
l = 49 cm
Breadth,
b = 33 cm
Height,
h = 24 cm
Volume of cube  = 49 × 33 × 24 cm3 
Now, Now
Let the radius of cube be r. 
As volume of sphere  = (4/3)Ï€r3 Where r = radius of sphere 
Also, 
Volume of cuboid = volume of sphere molded 
49(33)(24) = (4/3)Ï€r3 
⇒ Ï€r3 = 29106
⇒ r3 = 29106 × 22/7
⇒ r3 = 9261 = 21 cm 
Hence, radius of sphere is 21 cm 

11. A mason constructs a wall of dimensions 270cm× 300cm × 350cm with the bricks each of size 22.5cm × 11.25cm × 8.75cm and it is assumed that 1/8 space is covered by the mortar. Then the number of bricks used to construct the wall is
(A) 11100
(B) 11200
(C) 11000
(D) 11300
Solution
(B) 11200
Volume of wall = 270cm× 300cm × 350cm
=28350000 cm3 
1/8 space is covered by the mortar, 
Remaining space of wall = Volume of wall - volume of mortar 
= 28350000 - 28350000 × 1/8 
= 24806250 
Now, 
Volume of 1 brick = 22.5 cm  × 11.25 cm × 8.75 cm 
= 2214.844 cm3 
So, 
Required no. of bricks, 
= 24806250/2214.844
= 11200

12. Twelve solid spheres of the same size are made by melting a solid metallic cylinder of base diameter 2 cm and height 16 cm. The diameter of each sphere is
(A) 4 cm
(B) 3 cm
(C) 2 cm
(D) 6 cm
Solution
(c) Given,
Diameter of the cylinder = 2 cm
Radius = 1 cm and
Height of the cylinder = 16 cm  [diameter = 2 × radius]
Volume of the cylinder = Ï€ × (1)2 × 16 
= 16Ï€ cm3 
According to question, 
Volume of 12 solid spheres = Volume of cylinder 
⇒ 12 × (4/3)Ï€r3 = 16Ï€
⇒ r = 1 
Diameter of each sphere, d = 2r
= 2× 1 = 2 cm 
Hence, the required diameter of each sphere is  2 cm.

13. The radii of the top and bottom of a bucket of slant height 45 cm are 28 cm and 7 cm, respectively. The curved surface area of the bucket is
(A) 4950 cm2 
(B) 4951 cm2 
(C) 4952 cm2 
(D) 4953 cm2 
Solution
(a) Given, 
The radius of the top of the bucket, 
R = 28 cm 
The radius of the bottom of the bucket, 
r = 7 cm 
Slant height of the bucket, 
l = 45 cm 
Since, bucket is in the form of frustum of a cone. 
Curved surface area of the bucket = = πl(R + r)
= Ï€ × 45 (28 + 7)
= 4750 cm2 

14. A medicine-capsule is in the shape of a cylinder of diameter 0.5 cm with two hemispheres stuck to each of its ends. The length of entire capsule is 2 cm. The capacity of the capsule is
(A) 0.36 cm3 
(B) 0.35 cm3 
(C) 0.34 cm3
(D) 0.33 cm3
Solution
(A) 0.36 cm3 
Given, diameter of cylinder = Diameter of hemisphere = 0.5 cm 

Radius = 0.25 cm 
Total length of capsule = 2 cm 
So, 
Length of cylindrical part of capsule  = 2 - (0.25 + 0.25) = 1.5 cm 
So, 
Capacity of capsule = Volume of cylindrical part + 2 × volume of hemisphere 
= Ï€r2h + (2/3)Ï€r3 
= 0.36 cm3 

15. If two solid hemispheres of same base radius r are joined together along their bases, then curved surface area of this new solid is
(A) 4Ï€r2 
(B) 6Ï€r2 
(C) 3Ï€r2 
(D) 8Ï€r2 
Solution
(A) 4Ï€r2 
Because curved surface area of a hemisphere is 2Ï€r2 and here, we join two solid hemispheres along their bases of radius r, from which we get a solid sphere. 
Hence, the curved surface area of new solid = 2Ï€r2 + 2Ï€r2 = 4Ï€r2 

16. A right circular cylinder of radius r cm and height h cm (h>2r) just encloses a sphere of diameter
(A) r cm
(B) 2r cm
(C) h cm
(D) 2h cm
Solution
(B) 2r cm
Because the sphere encloses in the cylinder, therefore the diameter of sphere is equal to
diameter of cylinder which is 2r cm.

17. During conversion of a solid from one shape to another, the volume of the new shape will
(A) increase
(B) decrease
(C) remain unaltered
(D) be doubled

remain unaltered.

18. The diameters of the two circular ends of the bucket are 44 cm and 24 cm. The height of the bucket is 35 cm. The capacity of the bucket is
(A) 32.7 litres
(B) 33.7 litres
(C) 34.7 litres
(D) 31.7 litres
Solution
(A) 32.7 litres
Given,
Diameter of one end of the bucket = 44cm
Radius(R) = 22cm
Diameter of other end of the bucket = 24cm
Radius(r) = 12cm
h = 35cm
Capacity of bucket = Volume of frustum of cone
= (1/3)Ï€h(R2 + r2 + rR) 
Putting value of R and r, we get, 
Capacity of bucket = 32.71
