Perimeter of the square = 4×7 = 28

Volume of the cylinder = (22/7)×7×7×28 = 4312

This satisfies the given condition.

Hence option (3) is correct

Q.41.(3) Total area of plaster
= 40 (30×60+20×60)
= 120000 cm2

Cost of plastering =
= Rs. 2400
Q.42.(1) let the side of the square be x cm.

perimeter of the rectangle = 2(62+50) = 224 cm

perimeter of the square = 4x

4x = 56

x = 14

Diameter = 14cm

Circumference = π×7 + 14 = 36

Q.43.(4)

Area of the triangle

Where is

Q.44.(3) Area of Plot = area of lawn + Area of path

b×(b+2) - b×3 = 240

b2-b-240 = 0

b = 16 , -15

Hence area of plot = 16 ×18 = 288

Q.45.(5)

Q.46.(2) Side of Square = 12

Perimeter = 48 =3a
 a=16

Area=
Q.47.(1)

Q.48.(2)

Q.49.(5) Volume of the water in the swiiming pool

= 551.25 m3

Q.50.(3) V1 : V2: V3:V4:V5 = 1:1:8:27:27

V1= a3 , V2= a3 ,V3= 8a3 , V4= 27a3 , V5= 27a3
S1= 6a2 , S2= 6a2 ,S3= 24a2 , S4= 54a2 , S5= 54a2
S1+ S2 +S3+S4+ S5 = 6a2 +6a2 + 24a2 + 54a2 + 54a2 =144a2
V = 64a3
S = 96a2
Respective Ratio = 144a2 : 96 a2 = 3 : 2
