• 1 Mark Q43. The total surface area of a solid hemisphere of radius $7\text{ cm}$ is:
  (a) $462\text{ cm}^2$

  (b) $308\text{ cm}^2$

  (c) $154\text{ cm}^2$

  (d) $539\text{ cm}^2$
  Solution:
  $\text{TSA} = 3\pi r^2 = 3 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7^2 = 462\text{ cm}^2$.
  Answer: (a) $462\text{ cm}^2$
• 1 Mark Q44. The curved surface area of a cone is $308\text{ cm}^2$ and its slant height is $14\text{ cm}$. Its base radius is:
  (a) $7\text{ cm}$

  (b) $14\text{ cm}$

  (c) $3.5\text{ cm}$

  (d) $21\text{ cm}$
  Solution:
  $\pi rl = 308 \implies \frac{22}{7} \times r \times 14 = 308 \implies 44r = 308 \implies r = 7\text{ cm}$.
  Answer: (a) $7\text{ cm}$
• 1 Mark Q45. A hemispherical bowl of internal radius $9\text{ cm}$ is full of liquid. This liquid is to be filled in small cylindrical bottles of diameter $3\text{ cm}$ and height $4\text{ cm}$. The number of bottles needed is:
  (a) 54

  (b) 36

  (c) 27

  (d) 18
  Solution:
  $\text{Number} = \frac{\frac{2}{3}\pi (9)^3}{\pi (1.5)^2 \times 4} = \frac{486\pi}{9\pi} = 54$.
  Answer: (a) 54
• 1 Mark Q46. If the radius of a sphere is reduced by $50\%$, its volume decreases by:
  (a) $50\%$

  (b) $75\%$

  (c) $87.5\%$

  (d) $12.5\%$
  Solution:
  New volume is $(0.5)^3 = 0.125$ of original. Decrease = $1 - 0.125 = 0.875 = 87.5\%$.
  Answer: (c) $87.5\%$
• 1 Mark Q47. The base radii of two cones are in the ratio $3:5$ and their heights are in the ratio $5:3$. The ratio of their volumes is:
  (a) $9:25$

  (b) $3:5$

  (c) $5:3$

  (d) $3:25$
  Solution:
  $\text{Ratio} = \left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^2 \times \frac{5}{3} = \frac{9}{25} \times \frac{5}{3} = 3:5$.
  Answer: (b) $3:5$
• 1 Mark Q48. A solid piece of iron in the form of a cuboid of dimensions $49\text{ cm} \times 33\text{ cm} \times 24\text{ cm}$ is moulded to form a solid sphere. The radius of the sphere is:
  (a) $21\text{ cm}$

  (b) $14\text{ cm}$

  (c) $28\text{ cm}$

  (d) $7\text{ cm}$
  Solution:
  $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = 49 \times 33 \times 24 \implies r^3 = 21^3 \implies r = 21\text{ cm}$.
  Answer: (a) $21\text{ cm}$
• 1 Mark Q49. The height of a right circular cone is $24\text{ cm}$ and the radius of its base is $7\text{ cm}$. Its total surface area is:
  (a) $704\text{ cm}^2$

  (b) $440\text{ cm}^2$

  (c) $528\text{ cm}^2$

  (d) $1232\text{ cm}^2$
  Solution:
  $l = \sqrt{24^2 + 7^2} = 25\text{ cm}$. $\text{TSA} = \pi r(r+l) = \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times (7 + 25) = 704\text{ cm}^2$.
  Answer: (a) $704\text{ cm}^2$
• 1 Mark Q50. Two solid hemispheres of same base radius $r$ are joined together along their bases. The curved surface area of this new solid is:
  (a) $2\pi r^2$

  (b) $3\pi r^2$

  (c) $4\pi r^2$

  (d) $6\pi r^2$
  Solution:
  Joining two hemispheres along their bases forms a complete sphere, whose surface area is $4\pi r^2$.
  Answer: (c) $4\pi r^2$
