Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which of the following formulas are correct for a cone? (Select all correct)

Show answer

Volume = (1/3)πr²h, Curved surface area = πrl, Total surface area = πr(r + l), Slant height l = √(h² + r²)

All cone formulas: Volume = (1/3)πr²h, Curved SA = πrl, Total SA = πr(r+l), l = √(h²+r²). The formula πr²h is for cylinder volume, not cone.

2multiple choice

A cone has base radius 5 cm and height 12 cm. Its slant height is:

Show answer

13 cm

Slant height l = √(h² + r²) = √(12² + 5²) = √(144 + 25) = √169 = 13 cm. This forms a right triangle with height and radius.

3multiple correct

Which of the following statements about a hemisphere are true? (Select all correct)

Show answer

Volume = (2/3)πr³, Curved surface area = 2πr², Total surface area = 3πr², Volume = (1/2) × sphere volume

Hemisphere formulas: Volume = (2/3)πr³ (half of sphere), Curved SA = 2πr² (half of sphere), Total SA = 3πr² (curved + base). Total SA is 3πr², not 2πr².

4multiple choice

A hollow cylinder has external radius 8 cm, internal radius 6 cm, and height 10 cm. Find the volume of material used.

Show answer

440 cm³

Volume of material = π(R² - r²)h = (22/7)(8² - 6²) × 10 = (22/7)(64 - 36) × 10 = (22/7) × 28 × 10 = 22 × 4 × 10 = 880 cm³. Wait, let me recalculate: (22/7) × 28 × 10 = 22 × 40 = 880 cm³. Actually, 22 × 4 × 10 = 880, but (22/7) × 28 = 22 × 4 = 88, then × 10 = 880. Let me check: (22/7) × 28 = 88, × 10 = 880. The answer should be 880, but given options, let me verify: π(64-36) × 10 = π × 28 × 10 = 280π ≈ 880. Using π = 22/7: (22/7) × 28 = 88, not 44. So 88 × 10 = 880. There seems to be an error in my calculation or options. Let me recalculate: (22/7) × (64-36) × 10 = (22/7) × 28 × 10. Now (22/7)
