Q1
The diameter of a wheel is 1.4m. If this wheel rotates 500 rotations, how long it can travel?
Diameter = 1.4 m.
Circumference of the wheel = πd = [latex]\frac {22}{7}[/latex] × 1.4
= 4.4
We have distance traveled in 1 rotation = 4.4 meter
Distance covered in 500 rotations = 4.4 × 500 = 2200 meters
Q2
If radius of cylinder and sphere are same and volume of sphere and cylinder are same. what is the ratio between the radius and height of the cylinder?
We have Volume and radius of cylinder and sphere are same
Let R be the radius of both the figures.
Then Volume of sphere = [latex]\Rightarrow \frac {4 \pi {(R)}^{3}}{3}[/latex]
And Volume of cylinder = [latex]π{R}^{2}h[/latex]
Hence equating both the volumes
[latex]\Rightarrow \frac {4 \pi {(R)}^{3}}{3} = π{R}^{2}h[/latex]
[latex]\Rightarrow \frac {4R}{3} = h[/latex]
[latex]\Rightarrow R = \frac {3h}{4}[/latex]
Q3
Find the cost of carpeting a room 13 m long and 9 m broad with a carpet 75 cm wide at the rate of Rs. 12.40 per meter.
Length of the room = 13m
Breadth of the room = 9m
Area of the room = length × breadth
Area = 13 × 9 = 117 [latex] {m}^{2}[/latex]
Also, we need to cover the entire area with a carpet which is 0.75 m wide.
Hence, length of carpet required = [latex] \frac {Area of room}{width of carpet}[/latex]
= [latex] \frac {117}{0.75}[/latex]
= 156 m
Cost of 1 m carpet = Rs 12.4
Cost of 156m carpet = Rs 12.4 × 156
= Rs 1934.4
Q4
An equilateral triangle of side 3 inch each is given. How many equilateral triangles of side 1 inch can be formed from it?
Area of triangle = [latex] (\frac {\sqrt {3}}{4}){a}^{2} [/latex]
Let number of 1 inch triangle = n
∴ [latex] n × (\frac {\sqrt {3}}{4}) × {1}^{2} = (\frac {\sqrt {3}}{4}) × {3}^{2}[/latex]
[latex]\Rightarrow[/latex] n = 9
Hence Option (A)
Q5
The diameter of a wheel is 2.8 m. If this wheel rotates 100 rotations, how long it can travel?
Diameter = 2.8 m.
Circumference of the wheel = πd = [latex]\frac {22}{7}[/latex] × 2.8
= 8.8
We have distance traveled in 1 rotation = 8.8 meter
Distance covered in 100 rotations = 8.8 × 100 = 880 meter
