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.
Year of Question: (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, find the rainfull in cm.
Year of Question: (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, find the height of the bucket. (Use π = 22/7)
Year of Question: (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 flow of water in the pipe in km/h. (Use π= 22/7)
Year of Question: (2013OD)

Solution:
Volume of water that flows 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 flows in one hour.
Volume of water that flows in 1 hr. = πr²h
Hence the rate of flow of water in the pipe = 3 km/hr.

Question 64.
Due to heavy floods 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 fixed 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 costs ₹120 per sq. m, find the amount shared by ‘each school to set up the tents.
Year of Question: (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]
Year of Question: (2013OD)

Solution:
Height of frustum of a cone, h = 16 cm
