At the junction of the sphere and the cylinder, there is some portion which would be covered. Hence, that would not be painted silver.

The covered area

So, for 8 spheres,

The covered area

Therefore, the total area to be painted

Now, the rate of silver paint per cm2 = 25 paisa

=Rs 0.25

So, the cost of silver paint for 8 spheres =

= Rs 2757.86

Now, the cylinders are to be painted black. So, let us find the surface area of the cylinders.

Radius of the cylinder = 1.5 cm

Height of the cylinder = 7 cm

Now, the rate of black paint per cm2 = 5 paise

= Rs 0.05

So, the cost of silver paint for 8 cylinders =

Therefore,

The total cost of the paint = cost of silver paint + cost of black paint

Therefore, the cost of painting would be

Answer:


It is given that a cone, a hemisphere and a cylinder stand on equal bases and have the same height.

Let the radius of cone, hemisphere and cylinder be r units.

Radius of the cone = Radius of hemisphere = Radius of cylinder = r

Also,

Height of the cone = Height of the cylinder = Height of the hemisphere

We know that, the height of a hemisphere is same as its radius.
