Solution:
Numbers of spherical balls
Question 59.
A 21 m deep well with diameter 6 m is dug and the earth from digging is evenly spread to
form a platform 27 m × 11 m. Find the height of the platform. (Use π = 22

7
] (2015D)
Solution:
Let h be the height of well, h = 21 m

Question 60.
The dimensions of a solid iron cuboid are 4.4 m × 2.6 m × 1.0 m. It is melted and recast into a
hollow cylindrical pipe of 30 cm inner radius and thickness 5 cm. Find the length of the pipe.
(2017OD)
Solution:

Inner radius, r = 30 cm = 0.30 m

Outer radius, R = (30 + 5) cm = 35 cm or 0.35 m
As per the question: (Volume of hollow Cylindrical pipe) = (Volume of solid iron cuboid)
Question 61.
In a rain-water harvesting system, the rain water from a roof of 22 m × 20 m drains into a
cylindrical tank having diameter of base 2 m and height 3.5 m. If the tank is full, 몭nd the
rainfull in cm. (2017OD)
Solution:
Let the rainfall be x m.
Volume of water on the roof = Volume of cylindrical tank

Question 62.
A bucket is in the form of a frustum of a cone and it can hold 28.49 litres of water. If the radii
of its circular ends are 28 cm and 21 cm, 몭nd the height of the bucket. (Use π = 22

7
) (2012D)
Solution:
Here R = 28 cm, r = 21 cm
Volume of Bucket = 28.49 litres

Question 63.
Water running in a cylindrical pipe of inner diameter 7 cm, is collected in a container at the
rate of 192.5 litres per minute. Find the rate of 몭ow of water in the pipe in km/h. (Use π = 22

7
)
(2013OD)
Solution:
Volume of water that 몭ows for one hour
= (192.50 × 60) Its.
= 192.50 × 60 × 1000 cm3 …[∵ 1 lt. 1000 cm3
Inner radius of the cylindrical pipe = 7

2
cm
Let h cm be the length of the volume of water that 몭ows in one hour.
Volume of water that 몭ows in 1 hr. = πr2h

Hence the rate of 몭ow of water in the pipe = 3 km/hr.

Question 64.
Due to heavy 몭oods in a State, thousands were rendered homeless. 50 schools collectively
offered to the State Government to provide place and the canvas for 1,500 tents to be 몭xed
by the Government and decided to share the whole expenditure equally. The lower part of
each tent is cylindrical of base radius 2.8 m and height 3.5 m, with conical upper part of
same base radius but of height 2.1 m. If the canvas used to make the tents coşts ₹120 per
sq. m, 몭nd the amount shared by ‘each school to set up the tents. (2016OD)
Solution:

Let r and h be the radius and height of cylindrical part respectively and I be the slant height of
conical part.
Slant height of conical part (l),
Question 65.
A container, open at the top and made up of metal sheet is in the form of a frustum of a cone
of height 16 cm with diameters of its lower and upper ends as 16 cm and 40 cm respectively.
Find the cost of metal sheet used to make the container, if it costs 10 per 100 cm2. [Take a =
3.14] (2013OD)
Solution:
Height of frustum of a cone, h = 16 cm
