Answer
: . Two numbers with sum 28 and product 147 are 7 and 21 (7 + 21 = 28, 7 × 21 = 147). So there are two cylinders:
- d = 7, h = 21: r = 3.5, ends ; TSA = 462 + 77 = 539 cm².
- d = 21, h = 7: r = 10.5, ends ; TSA = 462 + 693 = 1155 cm².
Both fit the question: a tall thin one and a short wide one.

A hospital serves each patient mushroom soup in a cylindrical glass 7 cm across, filled to a height of 6 cm. How much soup must it make each day for 250 patients?
Answer
r = 3.5 cm. One glass: cm³.
For 250: 231 × 250 = 57750 cm³ = 57.75 liters.
Question 19
Mankumari plans to weave a straw mat (गुन्द्री) into a cylindrical bin, a bhakari, to store grain. The mat will be 1.1 m wide, which becomes the bin’s height. How long a mat must she weave to store 1.4 m³ of grain?
Hint
The mat goes once round the bin: its length is the bin’s circumference.
Answer
with h = 1.1 m: , so m.
Length 4 m, with a little more for the overlap where the ends are tied.

Answer
, so each tile is right-angled: cm². (Heron gives the same: s = 18, .)
28 tiles: 28 × 54 = 1512 cm². Cost = 1512 × 10 = Rs 15,120.

: , r = 7 cm. The diameter is 14 cm.
Question 7
Find the total surface area of this solid hemisphere.
Answer
r = 28 cm. TSA 7392 cm².
Question 8
A room is 12 m long and 10 m wide, with one door 2 m × 1.5 m and four windows 1 m × 1.5 m. Painting its four walls at Rs 180 per m² costs Rs 30,060. Find the height of the room.
Answer
Area painted = 30060 ÷ 180 = 167 m².
Four walls = 2(12 + 10) × h = 44h; door and windows = 3 + 4 × 1.5 = 9 m².
44h − 9 = 167, so 44h = 176: the room is 4 m high.
Question 9
Answer
The front is five squares of 4 cm: A = 5 × 16 = 80 cm²; its perimeter is 12 sides of 4 cm, P = 48 cm.
TSA = 2A + Ph = 160 + 48 × 9 = 592 cm²; V = Ah = 80 × 9 = 720 cm³.
Answer
The end is right-angled at B: cm, so cm² and P = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 cm.
TSA = 2 × 6 + 12 × 10 = 132 cm²; V = 6 × 10 = 60 cm³.
Question 10
Answer
r = 10.5 cm. The surface is one flat end, the curved side of the cylinder and the hemisphere’s curve:
cm².
Cost = 3679.5 × 180 = Rs 6,62,310.
What it means: Rs 180 for every square centimeter is far more than paint really costs. Painters charge by the square meter (10,000 cm²): at Rs 180 per m², as in Question 8, this solid would cost about Rs 66.
Answer
The hemisphere’s radius is 54 − 40 = 14 cm, the cylinder’s too.
Surface cm².
Cost = 5368 × 180 = Rs 9,66,240.
