Practice each question, then open the answer or worked solution.

Exercise 12.2

4 questions
Q1Written answer

Two identical solid hemispheres of equal base radius r cm are stuck together along their bases. The total surface area of the combination is 6πr2.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

False

Explanation:

When two hemispheres are joined together along their bases, a sphere of same base radius is formed.

Curved Surface Area of a sphere = 4πr2.

Q2Written answer

A solid cylinder of radius r and height h is placed over another cylinder of the same height and radius. The total surface area of the shape so formed is 4πrh + 4πr2.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

False

Explanation:

According to the question,

When one cylinder is placed over another, the base of first cylinder and top of another cylinder will not be covered in total surface area.

We know that,

Total surface area of cylinder = 2πrh + 2πr2h, where r = base radius and h = height

Total surface area of shape formed = 2(Total surface of single cylinder) – 2(Area of base of cylinder)

= 2(2πrh + 2πr2) – 2(πr2)

= 4πrh + 2πr2

Q3Written answer

A solid cone of radius r and height h is placed over a solid cylinder having same base radius and height as that of a cone. The total surface area of the combined solid is πr[√(r2 + h2 +3r + 2h].

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

False

Explanation:

When a solid cone is placed over a solid cylinder of same base radius, the base of cone and top of the cylinder will not be covered in total surface area.

Since the height of cone and cylinder is same,

We get,

Total surface area of cone = πrl + πr2, where r = base radius and l = slant height

Total surface area of shape formed = Total surface area of cone + Total Surface area of cylinder – 2(Area of base)

NCERT Exemplar Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 Ex. 12.2 Question 3

Total surface area of cylinder = 2πrh + 2πr2h, where r = base radius and h = height

= πr(r + l) + (2πrh + 2πr2) – 2(πr2)

= πr2 + πrl + 2πrh + 2πr2 – 2πr2

= πr(r + l + h)

Q4Written answer

A solid ball is exactly fitted inside the cubical box of side a. The volume of the ball is 4/3πa3.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

False

Explanation:

Let the radius of sphere = r

When a solid ball is exactly fitted inside the cubical box of side a,

We get,

Diameter of ball = Edge length of cube

2r = a

Radius, r = a/2

We also know that,

Volume of sphere = 4/3πr3

Volume of ball = 4/3π(a/2)3 = 4/3π(a3/8) = 1/6πa3
