2. The length, breadth and height of a room are 5 m, 4 m and 3 m respectively. Find the cost of whitewashing the walls of the room and the ceiling at the rate of Rs. 7.50 per m²

Ans: l = 5m

b = 4m

h = 3m 

Area of the walls of the room 

= 2(l + b) h = 2(5 + 4) = 54m² 

Area of the ceiling = lb = (5)(4) = 20m² 

∴ Total area of the walls of the room and the ceiling 

= 54m² + 20m² = 74m² 

∴ Cost of white washing the walls of the room and the ceiling 

= 74 x 7.5 = Rs. 0.555

3. The floor of a rectangular hall has a perimeter 250 m. If the cost of painting the four walls at the rate of Rs. 10 per m² is Rs. 15000, find the height of the hall.

[Hint. Area of the four walls = Lateral surface area.] 

Ans: Let the length, breadth and height of the rectangular hall be I m, b m and h m respectively. 

Perimeter = 250 m 

⇒ 2(l + b) = 250 ⇒ l + b = 125…(1) 

⇒ 2(l+b)h = 1500 ⇒ (l + b) h = 750 

⇒ 125h = 750 | Using (1)

Hence the height of the hall is 6 m.

4. A cubical box has each edge 10 cm and another cuboidal box is 12.5 cm long, 10 cm wide and 8 cm high.

(i) Which box has the greater lateral surface area and by how much?

Ans: Each edge of the cubical box (a) = 10cm 

∴ Lateral surface area of the cubical box = 4a² 

= 4 (10)² = 400cm²

For cuboidal box

l = 12.5cm

b = 10 cm

h = 8cm 

∴ Lateral surface area of the cuboidal box = 2(1+b) h 

= 2(12.5 + 10)(8) = 360cm²

∴ Cubical box has the greater lateral surface area than the cuboidal box by (400-360) cm²

(ii) Which box has the smaller total surface area and by how much?

Ans: Total surface area of the cubical box = 6a² 

= 6 (10)² = 600cm²

Total surface area of the cuboidal box 

= 2(lb + bh + hl) 

= 2[ (12.5(10) + (10)(8) + (8)(12.5)] 

= 2[125 + 80 + 100] = 610cm² 

∴ Cubical box has a smaller total surface area than the cuboidal box by (610-600) cm², i.e., 10 cm².

6. A small indoor greenhouse (herbarium) is made entirely of glass panes (including base) held together with tape. It is 30 cm long. 25 cm wide and 25 cm high.

(i) What is the area of the glass?

Ans: For herbarium 

l = 30cm

b = 25 cm

h = cm 

∴ Area of the lass = 2(lb + bh + hl) 

= 2[(30)(25) + (25)(25) + (25)(30)] 

= 2[750 + 625 + 750] = 4250cm²

(ii) How much tape is needed for all the 12 edges?

Ans: The tape needed for all the 12 edges 

= 4(l + b + h) = 4(30 + 25 + 25) = 320cm

7. Shanti Sweets Stall was placing an order for making cardboard boxes for packing their sweets. Two sizes were required. The bigger of dimensions 25cm x 20cm x 5 cm and the smaller of dimensions 15 cm x 12cm x 5 cm. For all the overlaps, 5% of the total surface area is required extra, for all the overlaps. If the cost of the cardboard is Rs. 4 for 1000 cm², find the cost of cardboard required for supplying 250 boxes of each kind.

Ans: For bigger box 

l = 25cm

b = 20cm

h = 5cm 

∴ Total surface area of the bigger box 

= 2(lb + bh + hl) 

= 2[(25)(20) + (20)(5) + (5)(25)] 

= 2[500 + 100 + 125] = 1450cm² 

Cardboard required for all the overlaps 

∴ Net surface area of the bigger box 

= 1450cm² + 72.5cm² = 1522.5cm² 

∴ Net surface area of 250 bigger boxes 

= 1522.5 x 250 = 280625cm²

For smaller box: 

l = 15cm

b = 12cm

h = 5cm

∴ Total surface area of the box = 2(lb + bh + hl) 

= 2[(12)(12) + (12)(5) + (5)(15)] 

= 2[180 + 60 + 75] = 630cm² 

Cardboard required for all the overlaps

∴ Net surface area of the smaller box 

= 630cm² + 31.5cm² = 661.5cm²

∴ Net surface area of 250 smaller boxes 

= 661.5 x 250 = 165375cm²

8. Parveen wanted to make a temporary shelter for her car, by making a box-like structure with tarpaulin that covers all the four sides and the top of the car (with the front face as a flap which can be rolled up). Assuming that the stitching margins are very small and therefore negligible, how much tarpaulin would be required to make the shelter of height 2.5 m, with base dimensions 4m x 3m?

Ans: For shelter:

l = 4m

b = 3m

h = 2.5m

∴ Total surface area of the shelter = lb + 2(bh + hl) 

= (4)(3) + 2[(3)(2.5) + (2.5)(4)] 

= 12 + 2[7.5 + 10] = 47m² 

Hence 47 m² of tarpaulin will be required. 

∴ Cost of cardboard required for supplying 250 boxes of each kind

= Rs.1522 .50 + Rs.661.50 = Rs. 2184

= a³ = (12)³ = 12 x 12 x12cm³ = 1728cm³ 

∴ It is cut into eight cubes of equal volume.

Let the side of the new cube be x cm.

Then, volume of the new cube = x³cm³ 

According to the question, x³ = 216

⇒ x = 6cm

 Hence the side of the new cube will be 6 cm. 

Surface area of the original cube = 6a² = 6 (12)² cm² 

Surface area of the new cube = 6x² = 6 (6)² cm²

∴ Ration between their surface areas

Hence the ratio between their surface areas is 4: 1

2. The inner diameter of a cylindrical wooden pipe is 24 cm and its outer diameter is 28 cm. The length of the pipe is 35 cm. Find the mass of the pipe, if 1cm³ of wood has a mass of 0.6 g.

Ans: ∵ Inner diameter = 24 cm

∴ Outer diameter = 28 cm

Length of the pipe (h) = 35cm 

Outer volume = πR² h

Inner volume = πr² h

∴ Volume of the wood used = Outer volume – Inner volume 

= 21560cm³- 15840cm³ = 5720cm³

∴ Mass of the pipe = 5720 x 0.6g = 3432g = 3.432kg.

3. A soft drink is available in two packs – (i) a tin can with a rectan- gular base of length. 5 cm and width 4 cm, having a height of 15 cm and (ii) a plastic cylinder with circular base of diameter 7 cm and height 10 cm. Which container has greater capacity and by how much?

Ans: (i) For tin can 

l = 5cm 

b = 4cm

h = 15cm

∴ Capacity = l x b x h = 5 x 4 x 15cm³ = 300cm³

(i) radius of its base.

Ans: Let the radius of the base of the cylinder be r cm. 

h = 5cm 

Lateral surface = 94.2cm²

⇒ πrh = 94.2 ⇒ 2 x 3.14r x 5 = 94.2

⇒ r = 3 cm 

Hence the radius of the base is 3 cm.

(ii) its volume. (Use π =3.14)

Ans: r = 3 cm

h = 4cm

∴ Volume of the cylinder = πr² h

= 3.14 × (3)² × 5 = 141.3cm³

Ans: Inner curved surface area of the vessel

(ii) radius of the base.

Ans: Let the radius of the base be r m 

h = 10m 

Inner curved surface area = 110m²

Hence the radius of the base is 1.75 m.

(iii) capacity of the vessel.

Ans: r = 1.75m

h = 10m
