Q1Written answer

The radius of a sphere is 2r, then its volume will be

NCERT Exemplar Solutions Class 9 Maths Chapter 13- Ex.13.1-1

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

(D) (32πr3)/3

Explanation:

Given, the radius of a sphere is 2r.

The volume of a sphere = (4/3) × (radius)3

Thus, the volume of the given sphere = (4/3) × π × (2r)3

= (4/3) × π × 8 × r3

= (32 π r3/3)

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

Q2Written answer

The total surface area of a cube is 96 cm2. The volume of the cube is:

(A) 8 cm3 (B) 512 cm3 (C) 64 cm3 (D) 27 cm3

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

(C) 64 cm3

Explanation:

The surface area of a cube is 96 cm2

Let the length of the cube is l cm.

Thus,

6 × l2 = 96

According to formula

l2 = 96/6

l2 = 16

l = 4

Thus the length of the cube is 4 cm.

Volume of a cube  = l3

= 43

= 64

Thus volume is 64 cm3 which is option c.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Q3Written answer

A cone is 8.4 cm high and the radius of its base is 2.1 cm. It is melted and recast into a sphere. The radius of the sphere is:

(A) 4.2 cm (B) 2.1 cm (C) 2.4 cm (D) 1.6 cm

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

(B) 2.1 cm

Explanation:

Height of cone, h = 8.4cm

Radius of base, r = 2.1cm

Thus volume of a cone = (1/3) × π × h × r2

=(1/3) × π × 8.4 × (2.1)2

Now when it is melted to form a sphere, say of radius r1 cm, the volumes of both are going to be equal.

Volume of sphere = (4/3) × π × r13

Thus the radius of the sphere is 2.1cm which is option b.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Q4Written answer

In a cylinder, radius is doubled and height is halved, curved surface area will be

(A) halved (B) doubled (C) same (D) four times

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

(C) same

Explanation:

Let the radius of a cylinder = r unit

Let the height of a cylinder = h unit.

According to question,

Radius is doubled = 2r

Height is halved = h/2

Then,

Curved surface area of a cylinder = 2 × π × r × h

And according to the above condition,

Curved surface area = 2 × π × 2 × r × h/2

= 2 × π × r × h

This is same as the curved surface area of the cylinder with radius r and height h.

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Q5Written answer

The total surface area of a cone whose radius is r/2 and slant height 2l is

NCERT Exemplar Solutions Class 9 Maths Chapter 13- Ex.13.1-3

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

(B) πr(l+(r/4))

Explanation:

Given, radius of a cone is r/2 and slant height is 2L.

Total surface area = π × radius × slant height + π × radius2

NCERT Exemplar Solutions Class 9 Maths Chapter 13- Ex.13.1-4

Hence, option B is the correct answer
