Short Answer Questions with Reasoning

Write ‘True’ or ‘False’ and justify your answer in the following:

1. Two identical solid hemispheres of equal base radius r cm are stuck together along their bases. The total surface area of the combination is 6Ï€r2 .

Solution

False 
Explanation : 
When two hemispheres are joined together along their bases, a sphere of same base radius is formed. 
Curved surface Area of a sphere  = 4Ï€r2 .


2. A solid cylinder of radius r and height h is placed over other cylinder of same height and radius. The total surface area of the shape so formed is 4Ï€rh + 4Ï€r2 .

Solution

False
Explanation:
When one cylinder is placed over another, the base of first cylinder and top of other cylinder will not be covered in total surface area.
We know that,
Total surface area of cylinder = 2Ï€rh + 2Ï€r2 h 
(Where r = base radius and h = height)
Total surface area of shape formed = 2(Total surface of single cylinder) – 2(Area of base of cylinder) = 2(2Ï€rh + 2Ï€r2) – 2(Ï€r2)
= 4Ï€rh + 2Ï€r2


3. A solid cone of radius r and height h is placed over a solid cylinder having same base radius and height as that of a cone. The total surface area of the combined solid is Ï€r[√(r2 + h2 + 3r + 2h].

Solution

False 
Explanation :
When a solid cone is placed over a solid cylinder of same base radius, the base of cone and top of the cylinder will not be covered in total surface area.
Since the height of cone and cylinder is same,
We get,
Total surface area of cone = Ï€rl + Ï€r2 , (where r = base radius and l = slant height)
Total surface area of shape formed = Total surface area of cone + Total Surface area of cylinder – 2(Area of base)

Total surface area of cylinder = 2Ï€rh + 2Ï€r2h
(Where r = base radius and h = height)
Total surface area of cylinder = Ï€r(r + l) + (2Ï€rh + 2Ï€r2 ) – 2(Ï€r2 )
= Ï€r2 + Ï€rl + 2Ï€rh + 2Ï€r2 – 2Ï€r2 
= πr(r + l + 2h)
= Ï€r [√(r2 + h2 + r + 2h]


4. A solid ball is exactly fitted inside the cubical box of side a. The volume of the ball is
(4/3)Ï€a3.

Solution

False 
Explanation :
Let the radius of sphere = r
When a solid ball is exactly fitted inside the cubical box of side a,
We get,
Diameter of ball = Edge length of cube
2r = a
Radius,
r = a/2 
We also know that, 
Volume of sphere = (4/3)Ï€r3 
Volume of ball = (4/3)Ï€(a/2)3 
= (4/3)Ï€(a3/8)
= (1/6)Ï€a3


5. The volume of the frustum of a cone is (1/3)Ï€h[r12 + r22 – r1r2], where h is vertical height of the frustum and r1 , r2 are the radii of the ends. 

Solution

False 
As volume of the frustum of a cone is  (1/3)Ï€h[r12 + r22 – r1r2]


6. The capacity of a cylindrical vessel with a hemispherical portion raised upward at the bottom as shown in the fig. is (Ï€r3/3)[3h - 2r]. 

Solution

True 
We know that, capacity of cylindrical vessel = Ï€r2h - (2/3)Ï€r3 
= (Ï€r2/3)[3h - 2r]


7. The curved surface area of a frustum of a cone is Ï€l(r1 + r2 ), where l = √h2 + (r1 + r2 )2 , r1 and r2 are the radii of the two ends of the frustum and h is the vertical height. 

Solution

False 
We know that, 
Curved surface area of a frustum of a cone is Ï€l(r1 + r2), 
Where, l = √h2 + (r1 + r2)2 , r1 and r2 are the radii of the two ends  of the frustum and h is the vertical height.


8. An open metallic bucket is in the shape of a frustum of a cone, mounted on a hollow cylindrical base made of the same metallic sheet. The surface area of the metallic sheet used is equal to curved surface area of frustum of a cone + area of circular base + curved surface area of cylinder.

Solution

True 
Because the resulting figure is:

Here, ABCD is a frustum of a cone and CDEF is hollow cylinder.
