Question : A solid metallic sphere of radius 8.4 cm is melted and recast into a right circular cylinder of radius 12 cm. What is the height of the cylinder? (Your answer should be correct to one decimal place.)
Option 1: 6.5 cm
Option 2: 5.5 cm
Option 3: 7.0 cm
Option 4: 6.0 cm
Correct Answer: 5.5 cm
Solution : Given: Radius of sphere $r$ = 8.4 cm The radius of cylinder $R$ = 12 cm Let the height of the cylinder be $h$ cm. According to the question, The volume of the cylinder = volume of the sphere $\pi R^2h = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$
Question : The ratio of the total surface area and volume of a sphere is 2 : 7. Its radius is:
Option 1: 7.5 cm
Option 2: 10.5 cm
Option 3: 10 cm
Option 4: 7 cm
Correct Answer: 10.5 cm
Solution : Let the radius of the sphere be $r$. Total surface area of the sphere = $4 \pi r^2$ Volume of the sphere = $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$ According to the question, $4 \pi r^2 : \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = 2 : 7$ ⇒ $\frac{3}{r} =

Question : In $\triangle {ABC}$, D is a point on BC such that $\angle {ADB}=2 \angle {DAC}, \angle {BAC}=70^{\circ}$ and $\angle {B}=56^{\circ}$. What is the measure of $\angle A D C$?
Option 1: $72^{\circ}$
Option 2: $54^{\circ}$
Option 3: $74^{\circ}$
Option 4: $81^{\circ}$
Correct Answer: $72^{\circ}$
Solution :
Let $\angle DAC = x$ $\angle ADB = 2x$ $\angle BAC = 70^\circ$ $\angle BAD = 70^\circ - x$ In $\triangle ABD $ $⇒56^\circ + 2x^\circ + 70^\circ - x = 180^\circ $ $⇒ x = 54^\circ$ $⇒2x = 108^\circ$ Now, By linear pair of
