(b) 2πr (r+ h)

(c) πr2h + 2π

(d) 2πr(2r+h)

Answer

Answer: (d) 2πr(2r+h)

Explanation:

TSA of given figure = CSA of cylinder+ 2×CSA of Hemisphere

= 2πrh + 2×(2πr²) = 2πrh + 4πr²

= 2πr (h+2r)

4. Find TSA of a pencil sharpened at both ends.

(a) 2πr ×l

(b) 2π (r + l)

(c) 2π2(2 +√5)

(d) 2π3 (2 + √5)

Answer

Answer: (d) 2π3 (2 + √5)

Explanation:

TSA = CSA of Cylinder + 2× (CSA of cone)

= 2πrh + 2× (πrl) = 2πr (h +l)

In cylinder, r = 2π/2 =πcm, h = 5πcm

In cone, r = 2π/2= πcm,

h = 2πcm

(Total height – h of cylinder=9π -5π = 4π, h of one cone =4π/2 = 2πcm)

l = √ r2 + h2

= √ (π)2 + (2π)2

= √ π2 + 4π2 = √ 5π2 = π√5cm

TSA = 2πr (h +l)

= 2πx π (2π +π√5)

= 2π3 (2 + √5)

Surface Areas and Volumes Class 10 MCQ

8. A metallic hollow cylinder of height 6cm and internal and external diameters 6cm and 10cm respectively, is melted and recast into the form of a cone with base diameter 8cm. The height of the cone is

(a) 10cm

(b) 18cm

(c) 12cm

(d) 16cm

Answer

Answer: (b) 18cm

Explanation:

When one solid is converted into another solid, the volume of the new shape will remain same.

Volume of cylinder = volume of cone

Π(R2 – r2)h = 1/3 Πr2h

Π(52 – 32) × 6 = 1/3 × Π × 42x h

Π × 16 × 6 = 1/3 × Π × 16 x h

h = 18cm


 

9. A room is in a shape of cuboid measuring 20m x 10m x 5m. Find the area of the room. If cost of painting is 15/m2, find the cost paid.

(a) 500m2, Rs5000

(b) 600m2, Rs 7500

(c) 700m2, Rs 7000

(d) 700m2, Rs 7500

Answer

Answer: (d) 700m2, Rs 7500

Explanation:

Surface area of room = TSA of cuboid = 2 (lb + bh + hl)

= 2 (20×10 + 10×5 + 5×20)

= 2 (200 + 50 + 100)

= 2 × 350 = 700m2

For painting the room, walls and ceiling has to be painted, floor should be excluded from the area.

Area of painting the room = TSA – Area of Floor

= 700 – l × b

= 700 -200 = 500m2

Cost of painting = 500 x 15 = Rs7500


 

10. Find the volume of cone, if radius is doubled and height is halved.

(a) V1 = 2V2

(b) V2 = 2V1

(c) V1 = 2/3V2

(d) V2 = 2/3V1

Answer

Answer: (b) V2 = 2V1

Explanation:

Vol of cone = 1/3 × Π × r2× h

Here, r = 2r; h = h/2

Vol of cone = 1/3 x Π × (2r)2× h/2

= 1/3 x Π × 4r2× h/2

= 2/3 × Π × r2× h


 

11. A solid cone of radius r and height h is placed below an another cone of radius r and height 2h in a such a way that tip of the below placed cone is pointing downward. Find the TSA.

(a) π × r × [ (√ r2 + h2)

(b) π × r × (√ r2 + 4h2)

(c) π × r × [ √ h2 + 4h2)]

(d) π × r × [ (√ r2 + h2) + (√ r2 + 4h2)]

Answer

Answer: (d) π × r × [ (√ r2 + h2) + (√ r2 + 4h2)]

Explanation:

TSA = CSA of C1 + CSA of C1

= πr1l1 + πr2l2

= π × r × √ r2 + h2 + π × r × √ r2 + 4h2

= π × r × [(√ r2 + h2) + (√ r2 + 4h2)]

(a) 2cm

(b) 3cm

(c) 4cm

(d) 5cm

Answer

Answer: (b) 3cm

Explanation:

When one solid is converted into another solid, the volume of the new shape will remain same.

Volume of sphere = volume of cone

4/3 π R3 = 1/3 πr2h

4 × π × R3 = π × 3×3 × 12

R3 = 3×3×3

R = 3cm

(a) 4/5

(b) 16/25

(c) 25/16

(d) None of the above

Answer

Answer: (b) 16/25

Explanation:

V1 / V2 = 64 /125

2/3 π r13 / 2/3 π r23

= 64 / 125

(r1 / r2)3 = 64/125

r1 / r2 = 4/5

S1 / S2 = 3π r12 / 3π r22

= (r1 / r2)2

= (4/5)2 = 16/25

(c) 56500 cm3

(d) 10450cm3

Answer

Answer: (d) 10450cm3

Explanation:

A tub is in a shape of frustum.

So, vol of tub = vol of frustum = 1/3 π h ( R2 + r2 + Rr)

= 1/3 × 22/7 × 21 × (100 + 225 + 150)

= 22 ×475 = 10,450cm³


 

15. Find TSA of given figure

(b) 958.6 cm2

(c) 957.04 cm2

(d) 958 cm2

Answer

Answer: (b) 958.6 cm2

Explanation:

Given shape is frustum

R = 20/2 = 10cm, r = 10/2 =5cm

TSA = πR2 + πr2 + π (R + r) l

= π {102 + 52 + (10 + 5) ×12}

= 22/7 {100 + 25 + 180}

= 22/7 × 305

= 958.57 cm2

= 958.6 cm2

(d) 8cm

Answer

Answer: (c) 5cm

Explanation:

CSA of cuboid = 2 (lh + bh)

110 = 2 (6 × h + 5 × h) = 2 (11h)

h = 110/22 = 5cm


 

Surface Areas and Volumes Class 10 MCQ

17. Find the area of shaded portion, where both the cones are same in size.

(a) 100cm2

(b) 98.5cm2

(c) 95cm2

(d) 141.4cm2

Answer

Answer: (d) 141.4cm2

Area of shaded portion = CSA of cylinder – CSA of cone

= 2πrh – πrl

= 2π × 3× 10 – π× 3 × 5

= 22/7 × 3 (20-5)

= 22/7 × 3 × 15

= 141.4cm2

Surface Areas and Volumes Class 10 MCQ

25. A mild steel wire of length 1m is beaten to form a sheet of 11×15×20 m. Find the thickness of wire.

(a) 42m

(b) 10√42 m

(c) 5√42 cm

(d) 5cm

Answer

Answer: (b) 10√42 m

Explanation:

Vol of wire = Vol of sheet

(Volume of cylinder = Volume of cuboid)

Length of wire is height of cylinder = 720m

πr2h = l×b×h

Π × r2 × 1 = 11 × 15 × 20

r2 = 11 × 15 × 20 × 7/ 22 = 1050

r = √1050 = 5√42 m

Therefore, thickness of wire 2 × 5√42 = 10√42

29. There is a solid cylinder of height 3.6cm and radius 2.1cm .A spherical cavity is hollowed out from cylinder . Find the volume of remaining solid.

(a) 11 cm3

(b) 11.088cm3

(c) 12.08 cm3

(d) 12.088cm3

Answer

Answer: (b) 11.088cm3

Explanation:

Volume of remaining solid

= Vol of cylinder – Vol of sphere

= πr2h – 4/3 πr3

Radius of cylinder = radius of sphere = 2.1cm

Volume of remaining solid = πr2 (h – 4/3 r)

= 22/7 × 2.1 × 2.1 × (3.6 – 4/3 × 2.1)

= 22 × 0.3 × 2.1 × (3.6 – 2.8)

= 22 × 0.3 × 2.1 × 0.8

= 11.088 cm3
