Question :6

A hollow sphere of internal and external diameters 4 cm and 8 cm respectively is melted into a cone of base diameter 8 cm. What is the height of the cone?

Answer: (c)

External Radius(R) = $8/2$ = 4 cm and Internal Radius(r)

= $4/2$ = 2cm

∴ Volume of hollow sphere

= $4/3 π(R^3 - r^3)$

= $4/3 π (4^3 - 2^3)$

= ${4π}/3$ × 56

Let h = Height of the cone

According to question

Volume of cone = Volume of hollow sphere

∴ $1/3 πr_1^2 h = 4/3 π × 56$

⇒ $(4)^2$ h = 4 × 56

⇒ h = ${4 × 56}/{16}$

∴ h = 14 cm

Question :7

In the figure given below, ABCD is the diameter of a circle of radius 9 cm. The lengths AB, BC and CD are equal. Semicircles are drawn on AB and BD as diameters as shown in the figure. What is the area of the shaded region?

mensuration area and volume aptitude mcq 24 121

Answer: (c)

Given radius = 9 cm

∴ diameter ABCD = 18 cm

Given that AB = BC = CD = 6cm

Area of the semicircle with diameter AD

= $π/2 (9)^2 = π {81}/2$

Area of the semicircle with diameter

AB = $π/2 (3)^2 = π × 9/2$

Area of the semicircle with diameter

BD ∼ = $π/2 (6)^2 = π/2 36$

Area of the shaded portion

= ${81π}/2 + {9π}/2 - {36π}/2 ∼ = {54π}/2 = 27π$

Question :8

Consider a circle with centre at C Let OP, OQ denote respectively the tangents to the circle drawn from a point O outside the circle. Let R be a point on OP and S be a point on OQ such that OR × SQ = OS × RP. Which of the following statement is/are correct?

  1. If X is the circle with centre at O and radius OR, and Y is the circle with centre at O and radius OS, then X = Y.
  2. ∠POC + ∠QCO = 90°
Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Answer: (a)

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

Given a circle with centre c.

OP and OQ are tangents to the circle from Q + O point O outside the circle.

Given OR × SQ = OS × RP

⇒ ${OR}/{RP} = {OS}/{SQ}$

⇒ RS || PQ (By Basic proportionality theorem)

(1) Also CP = CQ = radius of the circle.

A perpendicular drawn from P to Q,

Draw circle X and Y with centre O and radius OR and DS respectively.

Since RS || PQ

Here O is the center of circle X and Y both Radius OR and OS lies in the same circle.

⇒ OR = OS ⇒ Area of Circle X = Area of circle Y

⇒ X = Y

Statement (1) is true.

(2) Also we know that if two tangents are drawn to the circle then ∠POC = ∠QOC and ∠PCO = ∠QCO

Also we know that CP = CQ = radius

So ΔPtc and ΔQtc are similar by AA similarly.

i.e., ∠P = ∠Q = 45° ...(1)

and ∠t = ∠t = 90°

Also ∠PCO = ∠QOC (Alternate angles)

∠POC = ∠QCO (Alternate angles)

from (1) if ∠P = ∠Q = 45°

⇒ ∠QCO = ∠PLO = 45°

⇒ ∠POC + ∠QCO = 45° + 45° = 90°

Statement (2) is true.

∴ Option (a) is correct.

Question :9

If a lawn 30 m long and 16 m wide is surrounded by a path 2 m wide, then what is the area of the path?

Answer: (b)

∴ Required area of the path,

EF = 30 + 4 = 34 m, GF = 16 + 4 = 20 m

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

∴ Area of path = Area of EFGH – Area of ABCD

= 34 × 20 – 30 × 16 = 680 – 480 = 200 $m^2$

Question :10

A ΔDEF is formed by joining the mid-points of the sides of ΔABC. Similarly, a ΔPQR is formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of the ΔDEF. If the sides of the ΔPQR are of lengths 1, 2 and 3 units, what is the perimeter of the ΔABC?

Answer: (c)

Perimeter of ΔPQR = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 units

mensuration-area-and-volume-aptitude-mcq

Now, in ΔDEF, ∼

${DQ}/{DF} = 1/2 = {PQ}/{FE}$

So, 2 PQ = FE

Similarly,DF = 2 PR and DE = 2QR

∴ perimeter of ΔDEF = 2 × 6 = 12 units

Similarly, perimeter of ΔABC

= 2 × Perimeter of ΔDEF

= 2 × 12

= 24 units
