The total surface area of a sphere is S1 and the curved surface area of a cylinder enclosing it is S2. Then S1 : S2 will be equal to
  • A.
    1 : 3
  • C.
    2 : 1
  • B.
    1 : 2
  • D.
    1 : 1
  • Answer & Explanation

Answer : [D]
Explanation :
Let r be the radius of the sphere
Surface area of the sphere = S1 = 4 r2
Since the cylinder encloses the sphere, height of cylinder = 2r and radius = r
Let S2 be the surface area of the cylinder
 
  S2 = 2 rh = 2 r(2r) = 4 r2
S1
S2
=
4 r
4 r
 = 1 : 1

A rectangular room of size 5m (length) x 4m (width) x 3m (height) is to be painted. If the unit cost of painting is Rs. 10 per sq.m., what is the total cost of painting?
  • A.
    Rs. 640
  • C.
    Rs. 740
  • B.
    Rs. 800
  • D.
    Rs. 940
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [C]
Explanation :
Area of 4 walls = 2h (l + b)
The area to be painted includes the 4 walls and the top ceiling.
Total area to be painted = 2h (l + b) + lb = 2 x 3 (5 + 4) + 5 x 4
  = 54 + 20 = 74 sq.m
 
Total cost of painting = 74 x 10 = Rs. 740

Volume of a right circular cylinder and that of a sphere are equal. If the radius of the base of the cylinder is the same as that of the sphere, which of the following is true as regards the height of the cylinder?
  • A.
    It is 4/3 rd of its radius
  • C.
    It is equal to its diameter
  • B.
    It is equal to its radius
  • D.
    It is 2/3 rd of its radius
  • Answer & Explanation

Answer : [A]
Explanation :
Volume of cylinder = Volume of sphere
Both the radius are also equal
 
 
r2h =
4
3
r3
 
h =
4
3
r  
Height is
4
3
 times of radius.
