A car moves a distance of 2592 km with uniform speed. The number of hours taken for the journey is one-half the number representing the speed, in km/ hour. Find the time taken to cover the distance. [CBSE 2017]
Solution:
Distance = 2592 km
Let the speed of the car = x km/hr
and time taken = \(\frac { x }{ 2 }\) hour
We have, Distance = Speed x Time
2592 = x x \(\frac { x }{ 2 }\)
=> 2592 = \(\frac { { x }^{ 2 } }{ 2 }\)
=> x2 = 2592 x 2
=> x = √5184
=> x = 72 km/hr
and thus time taken = \(\frac { x }{ 2 }\) h = \(\frac { 72 }{ 2 }\) = 36 hour

Question 5.
What length of a solid cylinder 2 cm in diameter must be taken to recast into a hollow cylinder of length 16 cm, external diameter 20 cm and thickness 2.5 mm ?
Solution:
Length of hollow cylinder = 16 cm
External diameter = 20 cm
and thickness = 2.5 mm = 0.25 cm
∴External radius (R) = \(\frac { 20 }{ 2 }\) = 10 cm
and internal radius (r) = 10 – 0.25 = 9.75 cm
∴ Volume of the material used in hollow cylinder
= πh (R² – r²) = π x 16 (10² – 9.75²) cm²
= 16π (100.00 – 95.0625) = 16TC (4.9375) cm3
∴ Volume of solid cylinder = 16 x 4.93 75πcm3 Diameter = 2 cm
∴Radius (r) = \(\frac { 2 }{ 2 }\) = 1 cm
Let h be the height of the cylinder, then
πr2h = 16 x 4.9375π
⇒ π (1)2 h = 16 x 4.93 75π
h = 16 x 4.9375 = 79
Hence height = 79 cm

Question 6.
A cylindrical vessel having diameter equal to its height is full of water which is poured into two identical cylindrical vessels with diameter 42 cm and jteight 21 cm which are filled completely. Find the diameter of the cylindrical vessel.
Solution:
Diameter of each small cylindrical vessels = 42 cm
∴Radius of each vessel (r) = \(\frac { 42 }{ 2 }\) = 21 cm
Height (h) = 21 cm
∴ Volume of each cylindrical vessal = πr2h = π (21 )2 (21) = 9261K cm3
and volume of both vessels = 2 x 9261π = 18522π cm3
Now volume of larger cylindrical vessel = 185 22π cm3
Let R be the radius of the vessel, then Height (H) = diameter = 2R,
∴Volume πR2H = πR2 x 2R = 2πR2
∴ 2πR3 = 18522π
⇒ R3 = \(\frac { 18522 }{ 2 }\) = 9261
⇒ R3 = 9261 = (21 )3
∴ R = 21
∴Diameter = 2R = 2×21=42 cm

Question 7.
50 circular plates each of diameter 14 cm and thickness 0.5 cm are placed one above the other to form a right circular cylinder. Find its total surface area.
Solution:
Diameter of each circular plate = 14 cm
∴ Radius (r) = \(\frac { 14 }{ 2 }\) = 7 cm .
Thickness (h) = 0.5 cm
∴Height of 50 plates placing one above the other
= 0.5 x 50 = 25 cm
∴ Curved surface area of the cylinder so formed = 2πrh
= 2 x \(\frac { 2 }{ 7 }\) x 7 x 25 = 1100 cm2
and total surface area = curved surface area + 2 x base area
= 1100 + 2 x πr2 =1100+ 2 x \(\frac { 22 }{ 2 }\) x 7 x 7
= 1100 + 308 = 1408 cm2

Solution:
Given that, lots of metallic circular disc to be melted to form a right circular cylinder. Here, a circular disc work as a circular cylinder.
Base diameter of metallic circular disc = 1.5 cm
∴Radius of metallic circular disc = \(\frac { 1.5 }{ 2 }\) cm [∵ diameter = 2 x radius]
and height of metallic circular disc i.e., = 0.2 cm
∴ Volume of a circular disc = π x (Radius)2 x Height

Question 48.
16 glass spheres each of radius 2 cm are packed into a cuboidal box of internal dimensions 16 cm x 8 cm x 8 cm and then the box is filled with water. Find the volume of water fdled in the box. |NCERT Exemplar]
Solution:
Given, dimensions of the cuboidal
= 16 cm x 8 cm x 8 cm
∴ Volume of the cuboidal =16x8x8
= 1024 cm3
Also, given radius of one glass sphere = 2cm
∴ Volume of one glass sphere = \((\frac { 4 }{ 3 } )\)πr³
= \((\frac { 4 }{ 3 } )\) x \((\frac { 22 }{ 7 } )\) x (2)³
= \((\frac { 704 }{ 21 } )\) = 33.523 cm³
Now, volume of 16 glass spheres = 16 x 33.523 = 536.37 cm3
∴ Required volume of water = Volume of cuboidal – Volume of 16 glass spheres
= 1024 – 536.37 = 487.6 cm3

Question 49.
Water flows through a cylindrical pipe, whose inner radius is 1 cm, at the rate of 80 cm/sec in an empty cylindrical tank, the radius of whose base is 40 cm. What is the rise of water level in tank in half an hour? [NCERT Exemplar]
Solution:
Given, radius of tank, r1 = 40 cm
Let height of water level in tank in half an hour = h1
Also, given internal radius of cylindrical pipe, r1 = 1 cm
and speed of water = 80 cm/s /., in 1 water flow = 80 cm
∴In 30 (min) water flow = 80 x 60 x 30 = 144000 cm
According to the question,
Volume of water in cylindrical tank = Volume of water flow the circular pipe in half an hour
⇒ πr1²h1 = πr2²h2
⇒ 40 x 40 x h1 = 1 x 1 x 14400
∴ h1 = \((\frac {144000 }{ 40 x 40 } )\) = 90 cm
Hence, the level of water in cylindrical tank rises 90 cm in half an hour.

Question 55.
A canal is 300 cm wide and 120 cm deep. The water in the canal is flowing with a speed of 20 km/h. How much area will it irrigate in 20 minutes if 8 cm of standing water is desired? [NCERT Exemplar]
Solution:
Volume of water flows in the canal in one hour = width of the canal x depth of the canal x speed of the canal water
= 3 x 1.2 x 20 x 1000 m³ = 72000 m³
In 20 minutes the volume of water
= \(\frac { 72000\times 20 }{ 60 }\) m³ = 24000 m³
Area irrigated in 20 minutes, if 8 cm,
i. e., 0.08 m standing water is required
= \((\frac { 2 }{ 5 } )\)
= \((\frac { 2 }{ 5 } )\) m²
= 300000 m²= 30 hectares.

Solution:
In ∆ABC, ∠B = 90°
and sides are 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm
Here diagonal is 5 cm
RD Sharma Class 10 Solutions Chapter 14 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 14.1 63

(i) When it is revolved along BC i.e., 4 cm side, then
Radius of the base of the cone (r1) = 3 cm
and height (h1) = 4 cm and slant height l = 5 cm
∴ Volume = \((\frac { 2 }{ 5 } )\) πr2h = \((\frac { 1 }{ 3 } )\) π x 3 x 3 x 4 cm³
= 12π cm³
and surface area = πrl = π x 3 x 5 cm2 = 157π cm2
(ii) When it is revolved along 3 cm side, then
r = 4 cm and h = 3 cm and l = 5 cm
∴ Volume = \((\frac { 1 }{ 3 } )\) πr2h =-\((\frac { 1 }{ 3 } )\) π x 4 x 4 x 3 cm3
= 16πcm³
and curved surface area = πrl
= π x 4 x 5 = 20n cm²
∴ Difference of their volumes = I6π- 12π = 4πcm³

Question 67.
A solid right circular cone of height 120 cm and radius 60 cm is placed in a right circular cylinder full of water of height 180 cm such that it touches the bottom. Find the volume of water left in the cylinder, if the radius of the cylinder is equal to the radius of the cone. [NCERT Exemplar]
Solution:
(i) Whenever we placed a solid right circular cone in a right circular cylinder with full of water, then volume of a solid right circular cone is equal to the volume of water failed from the cylinder.
(ii) Total volume of water in a cylinder is equal to the volume of the cylinder.
(iii) Volume of water left in the cylinder = Volume of the right circular cylinder – Volume of a right circular cone.
RD Sharma Class 10 Solutions Chapter 14 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 14.1 72
Now, given that
Height of a right circular cone = 120 cm
Radius of a right circular cone = 60 cm
∴Volume of a right circular cone = \((\frac { 1 }{ 3 } )\)πr² x h
= \((\frac { 1 }{ 3 } )\) x \((\frac { 22 }{ 7 } )\) x 60 x 60 x 120
=\((\frac { 22 }{ 7 } )\) x 20 x 60 x 120
= 144000π cm³
∴Volume of a right circular cone = Volume of water failed from the cylinder = 1440007c cm3 [from point (i)]
Given that, height of a right circular cylinder = 180 cm
and radius of a right circular cylinder = Radius of a right circular cone = 60 cm
∴Volume of a right circular cylinder = πr² x h
= π x 60 x 60 x 180 = 64800071 cm3 So, volume of a right circular cylinder = Total volume of water in a cylinder = 64800071 cm3 [from point (ii)]
From point (iii),
Volume of water left in the cylinder = Total volume of water in a cylinder – Volume of water failed from the cylinder when solid cone is placed in it
= 648000π- 144000π
= 504000π = 504000 x \((\frac { 22 }{ 7 } )\) = 1584000 cm³ 1584000
= \((\frac { 1584000 }{ (10)6 } )\) m³ = 1.584 m³
Hence, the required volume of water left in the cylinder is 1.584 m³.

Height of the bucket = 32 cm
So, volume of the sand in cylindrical bucket
= πr²h = π (18)²x 32= 10368π
Also, given height of the conical heap (h) = 24 cm
Let radius of heap be r cm
Then, volume of the sand in the heap = \((\frac { 1 }{ 3 } )\) πr²h

Given, pencils are cylindrical in shape.
Length of one pencil = 25 cm
and circumference of base = 1.5 cm
RD Sharma Class 10 Solutions Chapter 14 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 14.1 76
Now, cost of colouring 1 dm2 curved surface of the pencils manufactured in one day = ₹0.05
∴ Cost of colouring 45000 dm2 curved surface = ₹2250

Solution:
Let height of water in cylindrical vessel = h cm
Volume of water (in cylinder) = \((\frac { 3 }{ 4 } )\) Volume of water (in come)
∵ Volume of cylinder = nr²h & Volume of cone = \((\frac { 1 }{ 3 } )\) πr²h
RD Sharma Class 10 Solutions Chapter 14 Surface Areas and Volumes Ex 14.1 77

Question 1.
Find two consecutive numbers whose squares have the sum 85. (C.B.S.E. 2000)
Solution:
Let first number = x
Then second number = x + 1
According to the condition
x² + (x + 1)2 = 85
=> x² + x² + 2x + 1 = 85
=> 2x² + 2x + 1 – 85 = 0
=> 2x² + 2x – 84 = 0
=> x² + x – 42 = 0
=> x² + 7x – 6x – 42 = 0
=> x (x + 7) – 6 (x + 7) = 0
=> (x + 7) (x – 6) = 0
Either x + 7 = 0, then x = -7 or x – 6 = 0, then x = 6
(i) If x = -7, then the first number = -7 and second number = -7 + 1 = -6
(ii) If x = 6, then the first number = 6 and second number = 6 + 1 = 7
Hence numbers are -7, -6 or 6, 7

Question 2.
Divide 29 into two parts so that the sum of the squares of the parts is 425.
Solution:
Total = 29
Let first part = x
Then second part = 29 – x
According to the condition
x² + (29 – x)2 = 425
=> x² + 841 + x² – 58x = 425
=> 2x² – 58x + 841 – 425 = 0
=> 2x² – 58x + 416 = 0
=> x² – 29x + 208 = 0 (Dividing by 2)
=> x² – 13x – 16x + 208 = 0
=> x(x – 13) – 16 (x – 13) = 0
=> (x – 13) (x – 16) = 0
Either x – 13 = 0, then x = 13 or x – 16 = 0, then x = 16
(i) If x = 13, then First part =13 and second part = 29 – 13 = 16
(ii) If x = 16, then First part =16 and second part = 29 – 16 = 13
Parts are 13, 16

Question 3.
Two squares have sides x cm and (x + 4) cm. The sum of their areas is 656 cm2. Find the sides of the squares. (C.B.S.E. 1997)
Solution:
Side of the first square = x cm
Its area = (side)2 = x² cm2
Side of the second square = (x + 4) cm
Its area = (x + 4)2 cm2
According to the condition,
x² + (x + 4)2 = 656
=> x² + x² + 8x + 16 = 656
=> 2x² + 8x + 16 – 656 = 0
=> 2x² + 8x – 640 = 0
=> x² + 4x – 320 = 0 (Dividing by 2)
=> x² + 20x – 16x – 320 = 0
=> x (x + 20) – 16 (x + 20) = 0
=> (x + 20) (x – 16) = 0
Either x + 20 = 0, then x = -20 Which is not possible being negative
or x – 16 = 0, then x = 16
Side of the first square = 16 cm
and side of the second square = 16 + 4 = 20 cm

Question 4.
The sum of two numbers is 48 and their product is 432. Find the numbers.
Solution:
Sum of two numbers = 48
Let first number = x
The second number = 48 – x
According to the condition,
x (48 – x) = 432
=> 48x – x² = 432
=> – x² + 48x – 432 = 0
=> x² – 48x + 432 = 0
=> x² – 12x – 36x + 432 = 0
=> x (x – 12) – 36 (x – 12) = 0
=> (x – 12) (x – 36) = 0
Either x – 12 = 0, then x = 12 or x – 36 = 0, then x = 36
(i) If x = 12, then First number = 12 and second number = 48 – 12 = 36
(ii) If x = 36, then First number = 36 and second number = 48 – 36 = 12
Numbers are 12, 36

Question 5.
If an integer is added to its square, the sum is 90. Find the integer with the help of quadratic equation.
Solution:
Let the given integer be = x
According to the condition
x² + x = 90
=> x² + x – 90 = 0
=> x² + 10x – 9x – 90 = 0
=> x (x + 10) – 9 (x + 10) = 0
=> (x + 10) (x – 9) = 0
Either x + 10 = 0, then x = -10 or x – 9 = 0, then x = 9.
The integer will be -10 or 9

Question 6.

Solution:
Let the given whole number = x
Then its reciprocal = \(\frac { 1 }{ x }\)
According to the condition,
x – 20 = 69 x \(\frac { 1 }{ x }\)
=> x – 20 = \(\frac { 69 }{ x }\)
=> x² – 20x = 69
=> x² – 20x – 69 = 0
=> x² – 23x + 3x – 69 = 0
=> x (x – 23) + 3 (x – 23) = 0
=> (x – 23) (x + 3) = 0
Either x – 23 = 0, then x = 23
or x + 3 = 0, then x = -3, but it is not a whole number
Required whole number = 23

=> n2 – 84 = 3n + 24
=> n2 – 3n – 108 = 0
=> n2 – 12n + 9n – 108 = 0 [by splitting the middle term]
=> n (n – 12) + 9 (n – 12) = 0
=> (n – 12) (n + 9) = 0
=> n = 12 [n ≠ – 9 because n is a natural number]
Hence, the required natural number is 12.

Question 42.
A natural number when increased by 12 equals 160 times its reciprocal. Find the number. [NCERT Exemplar]
Solution:
Let the natural number be x.
According to the question,
x + 12 = \(\frac { 160 }{ x }\)
On multiplying by x on both sides, we get
=> x2 + 12x – 160 = 0
=> x2 + (20x – 8x) – 160 = 0
=> x2 + 20x – 8x – 160 = 0 [by factorisation method]
=> x (x + 20) – 8 (x + 20) = 0
=> (x + 20) (x – 8) = 0
Now, x + 20 = 0 => x = -20 which is not possible because natural number is always greater than zero
and x – 8 = 0 => x = 8.
Hence, the required natural number is 8.
