• The ratio between volumes of a hemisphere and a cone is 1:1. If the cone’s height is equal to its diameter, then find the ratio of diameter of hemisphere and cone ?
  A) 2:1
  B) 1:1
  C) 3:2
  D) 2:3
  View Answer

  Option B
  Solution:
  let the radius of hemisphere and cone are r1 and r2
  H’s volume/c’s volume = 1/1
  So [2/3 πr1³]/[1/3 πr2²*2r2] = 1/1
  So r1 : r2 = 1 : 2 or D1 : D2 = 1: 1
• If the height of a pyramid is 12cm and its base is a square which perimeter is 40cm, then find the volume of pyramid?
  A) 300 cm³
  B) 200 cm³
  C) 400 cm³
  D) 500 cm³
  View Answer

  Option C
  Solution:
  perimeter of base =40
  Side of base = 10
  Area of base = 100
  Volume = 1/3 * area of base * height
  = 1/3 * 100 * 12 = 400cm³

  solve and get x=8
  outer=x+1=9 cm

• A right circular cone is exactly fitted inside a cube in such a way that the edges of the base of the cone are touching the edge of one of the faces of the cube and the vertex is on the opposite face of the cube. If the volumes of cube is 216 cm³ , what is the volume of the cone (approximately)?
  A) 56 cm³
  B) 60 cm³
  C) 46 cm³
  D) 50 cm³
  E) None of these
  View Answer
