Answer:

If the diameters of two cones are equal then their radius should also be equal.

The curved surface area of the cone of radius r and slant height l is given by πrl.

If the radius of cones is equal then the ratio of their curved surface areas is equal to the ratio of their slant heights.

So, the ratio of their curved surface areas is 5 : 4.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

(c) 8 : 1
(d) 1 : 1

Answer:

Let the curved surface areas of both cones be S1 and S2, the slant heights be l1 and l2 and the radii are r1 and r2.

The curved surface area of one cone is twice that of the other while the slant height of the latter is twice that of the former.

Given: S1S2=21 and l1l2=12

The curved surface area of a cone of radius R and slant height L is given by πRL.

S1S2=πr1l1πr2l221=r1r2×12r1r2=41r1:r2=4:1

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

Question 13:

The slant height of a cone is increased by 10%. If the radius remains the same, the curved surface area is increased by
(a) 10%
(b) 12.1%
(c) 20%
(d) 21%

Answer:

The formula of the curved surface area of a cone with base radius 'r' and slant height 'l' is given by

Curved surface area, S = πrl

Now, the slant height of a cone is increased by 10%.

So, the new slant height = 1.1l

New curved surface area, S ' = 1.1πrl = 1.1S

Thus, the curved surface area is increased by 10%.

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).

Question 14:

The height of a solid cone is 12 cm and the area of the circular base is 64π cm2. A plane parallel to the base of the cone cuts through the cone 9 cm above the vertex of the cone, the area of the base of the new cone so formed is
(a) 9π cm2
(b) 16π cm2
(c) 25π cm2
(d) 36π cm2

Answer:

Given: Height of the cone(h) = 12 cm

Area of circular base = 64π cm2

Let the radius of the circular base be r.

∴ πr2 = 64π

r = 8 cm



Now, in △OCD and △OAB

∠O = ∠O  (Common)

∠OAB = ∠OCD   (Each 90°)

Therefore, △OCD ~ △OAB [By AA similarity criterion]

OAOC=ABCD129=8CDCD=6 cm

Now the radius of the upper cone is 6 cm.

∴ Area ot the upper cone = πr2 = π(6)2 = 36 cm2

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

Question 15:

If the base radius and the height of a right circular cone are increased by 20%, then the percentage increase in volume is approximately
(a) 60
(b) 68
(c) 73
(d) 78

Answer:

The formula of the volume of a cone with base radius 'r' and slant height 'l' is given by V=13πr2h.

Now, the base radius and height have increased by 20%.

So, the new base radius and new height are 1.2r and 1.2l respectively.

The new volume of the cone is given by

V'=13π1.2r21.2hV'=1.728×13πr2hV'=1.728VV'=V+0.73V

Thus, the volume of the cone is increased by 73%.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).

Question 16:

If h, S and V denote respectively the height, curved surface area and volume of a right circular cone, then 3πVh3S2h2 + 9V2 is equal to
(a) 8
(b) 0
(c) 4π
(d) 32π2

Answer:

If h, S and V denote respectively the height, curved surface area and volume of a right circular cone, then

S=πrl and V=13πr2h, where l=r2+h2

3πVh3-S2h2+9V2=3π13πr2hh3-πrr2+h22h2+913πr2h2=π2r2h4-π2r2r2+h2h2+π2r4h2=π2r2h4-π2r4h2-π2r2h4+π2r4h2=0

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

Question 17:

If a cone is cut into two parts by a horizontal plane passing through the mid-point of its axis, the ratio of the volumes of upper and lower part is
(a) 1 : 2
(b) 2 : 1
(c) 1 : 7
(d) 1 : 8

Answer:

The formula of the volume of a cone with base radius 'r' and slant height 'l' is given by

Volume, V=13πr2h

It is given that a cone is cut into two parts by a horizontal plane passing through the mid-point of its axis.

Let the height of the cone be H and R respectively and the radius of the smaller cone be r.



Now, in △ABC and △ADE

∠A = ∠A  (Common)

∠ADE = ∠ABC   (Each 90°)

Therefore, △ABC ~ △ADE   [By AA similarity criterion]

ABAD=DEBCHH2=RrR=2r

Volume of the given cone = 13πR2H=13π2r2H=43πr2H

Volume of the smaller cone = 13πr2H2=16πr2H

Volume of smaller coneVolume of the cone=16πr2H43πr2HVolume of smaller coneVolume of the cone=16×34=18

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
