Solutions
1. (d) Required ratio = 1 : l X b = 1 : 16 X 20 = 1 : 320.
2. (b) Curved surface area = pi * r *l = 22/7 * 7* 25 = 550 sq.cm.
3. (c) Volume of right pyramid = 1/3 * area of base * height = 1/3 * (8)2 * 30 = 640
cubic.cm.
4. (b) 4/3*pi*r3 : pi * r2 * (2r) = 2 : 3
5. (c) on solving pi*r2*H 1/3 * pi * r2*h = 4400 , we get , h = 21 cm
6. (d) (3)2 : (4)2 = 9 : 16
7. (c) on solving the given information, we get l = 15cm and b = 25cm. Thus
perimeter = 80cm
8. (b) on solving h * 16 = 20 * 8, we get h = 10cm
9. (a) radius of circle = 12/root 3 = 4root3 . Thus, area of circle =48pi sq.cm.
10. (c) on solving 2(20+20)*h = 2*20*20 , we get h = 10cm. Thus , the volume =
4000 cubic cm
