Cylinder & Cone

medium
Mathematics

A solid consists of a circular cylinder with an exactly fitting right circular cone placed on top. The height of the cone is h. If the total volume of the solid is three times the volume of the cone, then the height of the cylinder is ___________.

A
2h
B
4h
C
2h/3
D
3h/2
Explanation and memory cue

Let the radius of the base be r. The volume of the cone is . Let the height of the cylinder be H. The volume of the cylinder is . The total volume of the solid is the sum of the volumes of the cylinder and the cone: . According to the problem, this total volume is three times the volume of the cone, so: Dividing both sides by gives: Solving for H: Therefore, the height of the cylinder is , which corresponds to option C.

1095/1168 when expressed in simplest form is:

A
13/16
B
15/16
C
17/26
D
25/26
Explanation and memory cue

Cone Volume

easy
Mathematics

The area of the base of a cone is 30 cm². If the height of the cone is 6 cm, find its volume.

A
120 cm³
B
40 cm³
C
50 cm³
D
60 cm³
Explanation and memory cue

The volume of a cone is given by the formula (1/3) × base area × height. Given the base area is 30 cm² and the height is 6 cm, the volume = (1/3) × 30 × 6 = (1/3) × 180 = 60 cm³. Therefore, the correct answer is D, 60 cm³.

Volume

easy
Mathematics

In digging a pond measuring 20 m × 10 m × 5 m, what is the volume of the soil extracted?

A
100 cu.m
B
1000 cu.m
C
10000 cu.m
D
2000 cu.m
Explanation and memory cue

The volume of soil extracted is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and depth of the pond: 20 m × 10 m × 5 m = 1000 cubic meters.

A
100π
B
C
60π
D
50π
Explanation and memory cue

The volume of the original sphere is . Dividing this volume equally into 8 smaller spheres, each smaller sphere has volume . Using the volume formula for a sphere, , solving for gives . The surface area of each smaller sphere is .

Mathematics

What is the G.C.D of 1.08, 0.36, and 0.9?

A
0.03
B
0.9
C
0.18
D
0.108
Explanation and memory cue

To find the G.C.D of decimal numbers, convert them to integers by multiplying by a power of 10 that removes the decimals. Here, multiply each by 100: 1.08 = 108, 0.36 = 36, 0.9 = 90. The G.C.D of 108, 36, and 90 is 18. Dividing back by 100 gives 0.18. Therefore, the G.C.D of 1.08, 0.36, and 0.9 is 0.18, which corresponds to option C.

Hcf/Lcm (Packing)

medium
Mathematics

A drink vendor has 80 liters of Maaza, 144 liters of Pepsi, and 368 liters of Sprite. He wants to pack them in cans so that each can contains the same number of liters of a drink, and doesn’t want to mix any two drinks in a can. What is the least number of cans required?

A
35
B
37
C
42
D
30
Explanation and memory cue

The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 80, 144, and 368 is 16. This means each can should contain 16 liters of a single drink to maximize the volume per can without mixing drinks. The number of cans required is calculated by dividing each drink quantity by 16 and summing the results: (80/16) + (144/16) + (368/16) = 5 + 9 + 23 = 37 cans. Therefore, the least number of cans required is 37, which corresponds to option B.

Cylinder Curved Surface Area

easy
Mathematics

The radius of a cylinder is 2r units and the height is 3r units. Find the curved surface area.

A
18 πr² sq units
B
3 πr² sq units
C
12 πr² sq units
D
6 πr² sq units
Explanation and memory cue

The curved surface area (CSA) of a cylinder is given by the formula CSA = 2πrh, where r is the radius and h is the height. Given the radius as 2r and height as 3r, substituting these values gives CSA = 2 × π × 2r × 3r = 12πr². Therefore, the correct curved surface area is 12πr², which corresponds to option C.

Volume/Capacity

medium
Mathematics

A rectangular field 30 m long and 20 m broad is to be dug to form a platform 8 m long, 5.5 m broad, and 1.5 m high. If the volume of earth taken out increases by a factor of 10/5, how deep should the field be dug?

A
12 cm
B
10 cm
C
18 cm
D
24 cm
Explanation and memory cue

The volume of earth dug from the rectangular field equals the volume of the platform formed, adjusted by the increase factor (10/5 = 2). Calculating the platform volume and dividing by the field area gives the required depth. The correct depth is 12 cm, not 10 cm.
