Exercise 12.1

Question 1:
2 cubes each of volume 64 cm3 are joined end to end. Find the surface area
of the resulting cuboids.
Answer 1:
Given that,
Volume of cubes = 64 cm3
(Edge) 3 = 64
Edge = 4 cm

If cubes are joined end to end, the dimensions of the resulting cuboid will
be 4 cm, 4 cm, 8 cm.
Question 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
22
the vessel is 13 cm. Find the inner surface area of the vessel. [Use 𝜋 = ]
7

Answer 2:

It can be observed that radius (r) of the cylindrical part and the
hemispherical part is the same (i.e., 7 cm).
Height of hemispherical part = Radius = 7 cm
Height of cylindrical part (h) = 13 −7 = 6 cm
Inner surface area of the vessel = CSA of cylindrical part + CSA of
hemispherical part

Question 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
22
area of the toy.[Use 𝜋 = ]
7

Answer 3:

It can be observed that the radius of the conical part and the hemispherical
part is same (i.e., 3.5 cm).
Height of hemispherical part = Radius (r) = 3.5 = 7/2 cm
Height of conical part (h) = 15.5 −3.5 = 12 cm

Total surface area of toy = CSA of conical part + CSA of hemispherical

part

Question 4:
A cubical block of side 7 cm is surmounted by a hemisphere. What is the
greatest diameter the hemisphere can have? Find the surface area of the
22
solid. [Use 𝜋 = ]
7
Answer 4:

From the figure, it can be observed that the greatest diameter possible for
such hemisphere is equal to the cube’s edge, i.e., 7cm.
Radius (r) of hemispherical part = 7/2 = 3.5cm
Total surface area of solid = Surface area of cubical part + CSA of
hemispherical part − Area of base of hemispherical part
2 2
= 6 (Edge ) − = 6 (Edge) +

Question 5:
A hemispherical depression is cut out from one face of a cubical wooden
block such that the diameter l of the hemisphere is equal to the edge of the
cube. Determine the surface area of the remaining solid.

4
Answer 5:

Diameter of hemisphere = Edge of cube = l

Radius of hemisphere = l/2
Total surface area of solid = Surface area of cubical part + CSA of
hemispherical part − Area of base of hemispherical part
2 2
= 6 (Edge ) − = 6 (Edge) +

Question 6:
A medicine capsule is in the shape of a cylinder with two hemispheres stuck
to each of its ends (see the given figure). The length of the entire capsule is
14 mm and the diameter of the capsule is 5 mm. Find its surface area. [Use
22
𝜋= ]
7

5
Answer 6:

It can be observed that

Radius (r) of cylindrical part = Radius (r) of hemispherical part

Length of cylindrical part (h) = Length of the entire capsule − 2 × r

= 14 − 5 = 9 cm
Surface area of capsule = 2×CSA of hemispherical part + CSA of cylindrical
part

Question 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
slant height of the top is 2.8 m, find the area of the canvas used for making
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.)[Use
22
𝜋= ]
7

6
Answer 7:

Given that,
Height (h) of the cylindrical part = 2.1 m
Diameter of the cylindrical part = 4 m
Radius of the cylindrical part = 2 m
Slant height (l) of conical part = 2.8 m
Area of canvas used = CSA of conical part + CSA of cylindrical part

Cost of 1 m2 canvas = Rs 500

Cost of 44 m2 canvas = 44 × 500 = 22000
Therefore, it will cost Rs 22000 for making such a tent.

Question 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
22
surface area of the remaining solid to the nearest cm2. [Use 𝜋 = ]
7

Answer 8:

Given that,
Height (h) of the conical part = Height (h) of the cylindrical part = 2.4 cm
Diameter of the cylindrical part = 1.4 cm
Therefore, radius (r) of the cylindrical part = 0.7 cm

Total surface area of the remaining solid will be

= CSA of cylindrical part + CSA of conical part + Area of cylindrical base

The total surface area of the remaining solid to the nearest cm2 is 18 cm2

Question 9:
A wooden article was made by scooping out a hemisphere from each end of
a solid cylinder, as shown in given 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.
22
[Use 𝜋 = ]
7

Answer 9:
Given that,
Radius (r) of cylindrical part = Radius (r) of hemispherical part = 3.5 cm
Height of cylindrical part (h) = 10 cm
Surface area of article = CSA of cylindrical part + 2 × CSA of
hemispherical part

Question 2:
Rachel, an engineering student, was asked to make a model shaped like a
cylinder with two cones attached at its two ends by using a thin aluminium
sheet. The diameter of the model is 3 cm and its length is 12 cm. if each
cone has a height of 2 cm, find the volume of air contained in the model that
Rachel made. (Assume the outer and inner dimensions of the model to be
22
nearly the same.) [Use 𝜋 = ]
7
Answer 2:

From the figure, it can be observed that

Height (h1) of each conical part = 2 cm
Height (h2) of cylindrical part = 12 − 2 × Height of conical part
= 12 − 2 ×2 = 8 cm
Radius (r) of cylindrical part = Radius of conical part = 3/2 cm
Volume of air present in the model = Volume of cylinder + 2 × Volume of
cones

Question 3:
A gulab jamun, contains sugar syrup up to about 30% of its volume. Find
approximately how much syrup would be found in 45 gulab jamuns, each
shaped like a cylinder with two hemispherical ends with length 5 cm and
22
diameter 2.8 cm (see the given figure). [Use 𝜋 = ]
7

2
Answer 3:

It can be observed that

Radius (r) of cylindrical part = Radius (r) of hemispherical part =

Length of each hemispherical part = Radius of hemispherical part = 1.4 cm

Length (h) of cylindrical part = 5 − 2 × Length of hemispherical part
= 5 − 2 × 1.4 = 2.2 cm
Volume of one gulab jamun = Vol. of cylindrical part + 2 × Vol. of
hemispherical part

Volume of 45 gulab jamuns = 45×25.05 = 1,127.25 cm3

Volume of sugar syrup = 30% of volume

Question 4:
A pen stand made of wood is in the shape of a cuboid with four conical
depressions to hold pens. The dimensions of the cuboids are 15 cm by 10
cm by 3.5 cm. The radius of each of the depressions is 0.5 cm and the depth
is 1.4 cm. Find the volume of wood in the entire stand (see the following
22
figure). [Use 𝜋 = ]
7

Answer 4:

Depth (h) of each conical depression = 1.4 cm

Radius (r) of each conical depression = 0.5 cm
Volume of wood = Volume of cuboid − 4 × Volume of cones

Question 5:
A vessel is in the form of an inverted cone. Its height is 8 cm and the radius
of its top, which is open, is 5 cm. It is filled with water up to the brim. When
lead shots, each of which is a sphere of radius 0.5 cm are dropped into the
vessel, one-fourth of the water flows out. Find the number of lead shots
dropped in the vessel.
Answer 5:

Height (h) of conical vessel = 8 cm

Radius (r1) of conical vessel = 5 cm
Radius (r2) of lead shots = 0.5 cm
Let n number of lead shots were dropped in the vessel.
Volume of water spilled = Volume of dropped lead shots

Hence, the number of lead shots dropped in the vessel is 100.

Question 6:
A solid iron pole consists of a cylinder of height 220 cm and base diameter
24 cm, which is surmounted by another cylinder of height 60 cm and radius
8 cm. Find the mass of the pole, given that 1 cm3 of iron has approximately
8 g mass. [Use π = 3.14]
Answer 6:

From the figure, it can be observed that

Height (h1) of larger cylinder = 220 cm
Radius (r1) of larger cylinder = 24/2 = 12 cm
Height (h2) of smaller cylinder = 60 cm
Radius (r2) of smaller cylinder = 8 cm

Mass of 1 cm3 iron = 8g

Mass of 111532.8 cm3 = 111532.8×8g = 892262.4g = 892.262 Kg

Question 7:
A solid consisting of a right circular cone of height 120 cm and radius 60
cm standing on a hemisphere of radius 60 cm is placed upright in a right
circular cylinder full of water such that it touches the bottom. Find the
volume of water left in the cylinder, if the radius of the cylinder is 60 cm
22
and its height is 180 cm. [Use 𝜋 = ]
7

Answer 7:

Radius (r) of hemispherical part = Radius (r) of conical part = 60 cm

Height (h2) of conical part of solid = 120 cm
Height (h1) of cylinder = 180 cm
Radius (r) of cylinder = 60 cm
Volume of water left = Volume of cylinder − Volume of solid

Question 8:
A spherical glass vessel has a cylindrical neck 8 cm long, 2 cm in diameter;
the diameter o the spherical part is 8.5 cm. By measuring the amount of
water it holds, a child finds its volume to be 345 cm3. Check whether she is
correct, taking the above as the inside measurements, and π = 3.14.
Answer 8:

Height (h) of cylindrical part = 8 cm

Radius (r2) of cylindrical part = 1 cm
Radius (r1) spherical part = 4.25 cm
Volume of vessel = Volume of sphere + Volume of cylinder

Hence, she is wrong.
