Question 14. A spherical glass vessel has a cylindrical neck $8\ \text{cm}$ long, $2\ \text{cm}$ in diameter; the spherical part is $8.5\ \text{cm}$ in diameter. The amount of water it can hold is measured by finding its volume. True or False?

(A) True

(B) False

(C) Only if the neck is also full

(D) Only if the sphere is empty

Answer:

Question 15. Calculate the volume of the glass vessel in Question 14. (Use $\pi = 3.14$)

(A) $346.5\ \text{cm}^3$

(B) $321.39\ \text{cm}^3$

(C) $321.39 + 25.12 = 346.51\ \text{cm}^3$ approx.

(D) $346.5\ \text{cm}^3$ approx.

Answer:

Question 16. The radii of the ends of a metallic frustum bucket are $28\ \text{cm}$ and $7\ \text{cm}$. The height is $45\ \text{cm}$. The metal sheet used to make the bucket (excluding the handle) is:

(A) CSA of frustum

(B) TSA of frustum

(C) CSA of frustum + Area of bottom base

(D) CSA of frustum + Area of top base

Answer:

Question 17. The height of a cone is $15\ \text{cm}$. If a small cone is cut off at the top by a plane parallel to the base, and its volume is $1/27$ of the volume of the original cone, at what height above the base was the section made?

(A) $5\ \text{cm}$

(B) $10\ \text{cm}$

(C) $12\ \text{cm}$

(D) $13\ \text{cm}$

Answer:

Question 18. A solid right circular cone is cut into two parts at the middle of its height by a plane parallel to the base. The ratio of the volume of the lower part (frustum) to the volume of the upper part (cone) is:

(A) $1:7$

(B) $7:1$

(C) $1:8$

(D) $8:1$

Answer:

Question 19. A solid consisting of a right circular cone of height $120\ \text{cm}$ and radius $60\ \text{cm}$ standing on a hemisphere of radius $60\ \text{cm}$ is placed upright in a right circular cylinder full of water such that it touches the bottom. The radius of the cylinder is $60\ \text{cm}$ and its height is $180\ \text{cm}$. What is the volume of water left in the cylinder?

(A) Volume of cylinder $-$ Volume of combined solid

(B) Volume of cylinder $+$ Volume of combined solid

(C) Volume of combined solid $-$ Volume of cylinder

(D) Volume of cylinder $-$ Volume of cone

Answer:

Question 20. Calculate the volume of water left in the cylinder in Question 19. (Use $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$)

(A) $113142.86\ \text{cm}^3$ (approx)

(B) $339428.57\ \text{cm}^3$ (approx)

(C) $565714.28\ \text{cm}^3$ (approx)
