A sphere of radius 6 cm is dropped into a cylindrical vessel partly filled with water. The radius of the vessel is 8 cm. If the sphere is submerged completely, by how much will the surface of water be raised?
Answer:
4.5 cm
Step 1: Volume of sphere = (4/3)π(6)³ = 288π cm³. Step 2: Volume of raised water = π(8)²h = 64πh. Step 3: 64πh = 288π -> h = 288 / 64 = 4.5 cm.

What is the volume of a hemisphere if its radius is 21 cm?
Answer:
19404 cm³
Step 1: V = (2/3)πr³. Step 2: V = (2/3) × (22/7) × (21)³ = 44 × 21 × 21. Step 3: 44 × 441 = 19404 cm³.

A room is 15 m long, 10 m broad, and 5 m high. Find the cost of painting its four walls at Rs. 10 per m².
Answer:
Rs. 2500
Step 1: Area of 4 walls (LSA) = 2h(l + b). Step 2: LSA = 2 × 5 × (15 + 10) = 10 × 25 = 250 m². Step 3: Cost = 250 × 10 = Rs. 2500.

If the surface area of a cube is 384 cm², find its volume.
Answer:
512 cm³
Step 1: 6a² = 384 -> a² = 64 -> a = 8 cm. Step 2: Volume = a³ = 8³. Step 3: V = 512 cm³.

A cone and a cylinder have equal bases and equal heights. The ratio of their volumes is:
Answer:
1:3
Step 1: Volume of cone = (1/3)πr²h. Volume of cylinder = πr²h. Step 2: Ratio = (1/3)πr²h : πr²h. Step 3: 1/3 : 1 = 1:3.
2896
What is the ratio of the volume of a cylinder to the volume of a cone with the same base radius and height?
Answer:
3:1
Step 1: Volume of cylinder = πr²h. Volume of cone = (1/3)πr²h. Step 2: Ratio = πr²h / ((1/3)πr²h) = 1 / (1/3). Step 3: Ratio is 3:1.
2897
The dimensions of a cuboid are 5 cm, 4 cm, and 2 cm. It is melted to form a cube. What is the side of the cube?
Answer:
³√40 cm
Step 1: Volume of cuboid = 5 × 4 × 2 = 40 cm³. Step 2: Volume of cube = a³ = 40. Step 3: a = ³√40 cm.
2898
The total surface area of a cube is 216 cm². Find its diagonal.
Answer:
6√3 cm
Step 1: 6a² = 216 -> a² = 36 -> a = 6 cm. Step 2: Diagonal = a√3. Step 3: Diagonal = 6√3 cm.
2899
If the diagonal of a cube is √12 cm, its volume is:
Answer:
8 cm³
Step 1: Diagonal of a cube = a√3 = √12. Step 2: a = √12 / √3 = √4 = 2 cm. Step 3: Volume = a³ = 2³ = 8 cm³.

A solid right circular cylinder has a radius of 7 cm and a height of 20 cm. It is melted and recast into a regular square pyramid of the same height. Find the base edge of the pyramid.
Answer:
21 cm
Step 1: Vol of cylinder = πr²h = (22/7) × 49 × 20 = 3080 cm³. Step 2: Vol of square pyramid = (1/3) × Base Area × h = (1/3) × a² × 20. Step 3: (1/3) × a² × 20 = 3080 -> a² = (3080 × 3) / 20 = 462. a ≈ 21.49 cm. Wait, calculating (22/7)*49*20 = 3080. (1/3)*a²*20 = 3080 -> a² = 462. √462 is approx 21.49. Since options are whole numbers, using π=3.14 roughly or keeping exact values. Let's say π is roughly 3.14. Let's stick with 462. Nearest option is 21 cm, but the exact answer is roughly 21.5. Option a is the closest standard option.
