the hemisphere can have? Find the cost of painting the total surface area of the solid so formed,
at the rate of ₹5 per 100 sq. cm. (Use π = 3.14)

17. A solid is composed of a cylinder with hemispherical ends. If the whole length of the solid is

surface of the solid at the rate of 7 paise per sq cm.

18. The sum of the radius of base and height of a solid right circular cylinder is 37 cm. If the total
surface area of the solid cylinder is 1628 square cm., find the volume of the cylinder.

19. A right cylindrical container of radius 6 cm and height 15 cm is full of ice cream, which has to
be distributed to 10 children in equal cones having hemispherical shape on the top. If the height
of the conical portion is four times its base radius, find the radius of the ice-cream cone.

20. A solid toy is the form of a right circular cylinder with a hemispherical shape at one end and a
cone at the other end. Their diameter is 4.2 cm and the heights of the cylindrical and conical
portions are 12 cm and 7 cm respectively. Find the volume of the toy.

21. A hemispherical depression is cut out from one face of a cubical wooden block of edge 21 cm,
such that the diameter of the hemisphere is equal to edge of the cube. Determine the volume of
the remaining block.

22. A metallic cylinder has radius 3 cm and height 5 cm. To reduce its weight, a conical hole of

floor, find the height of the building?

CASE STUDY
25. In a toys manufacturing company, wooden parts are assembled and painted to prepare a toy.
For the wood processing activity center, the wood is taken out of storage to be sawed, after
which it undergoes rough polishing, then is cut, drilled and has holes punched in it. It is
then fine polished using sandpaper. For the retail packaging and delivery activity center, the
polished wood sub-parts are assembled together, then decorated using paint.
One specific toy is in the shape of a cone mounted on a cylinder. The total height of the toy
is 110 mm and the height of its conical part is 77 mm. The diameters of the base of the
conical part is 72 mm and that of the cylindrical part is 40 mm.
 Based on the above information, answer the following questions.

(i) If its cylindrical part is to be painted red, what is the surface area need to be
painted?
(ii) If its conical part is to be painted blue, what is the surface area need to be painted ?
(iii) How much of the wood have been used in making the toy ?
OR
If the cost of painting the toy is 2 paise for 8π mm2, then what is the cost of
painting of a box of 100 toys?
