 P ROBABILITY 2

When an experiment is repeated under homogeneous and similar conditions then in general we have
two types of situations:
(i) The result which is called outcome is unique, i.e. certain
(ii) The result is not unique but may be one of the several possible outcomes.
An experiment is an activity which has a well-defined result. An experiment is said to be a random
experiment when all possible outcomes are known in advance but which outcome will occur is not
certain.

The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment is called the sample space, provided no two or
more of these outcomes can occur simultaneously and exactly one of these outcomes must occur
whenever the experiment is conducted.

The outcomes of an experiment i.e. sample points of the sample space are usually known as sample
events and any subset of the sample set S is called an event.

Thus throwing of a die is an experiment. S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} is the sample space and 1, 2 etc. are
events. The empty set  is also an event as   S and it is called an impossible event. The sample
space S is also a subset of S and so it is also an event. S represents the sure event.
The outcomes which answer the occurrence of an event are called favourable outcomes to that
event.

PROBABILITY
It is defined as the ratio of number of favourable outcomes to the number of total outcomes.

If m is the number of favourable outcomes and n the number of total outcomes, then
m
p  , 0  p  1 . If p is the probability of occurrence of an event and q, that of non-occurrence, then
n
q = 1 – p.
The probability P(E) of any event E takes any value from 0 to 1, i.e. 0  P(E)  1.
If p is the probability of occurrence of an event ‘E’ and q is the probability of non-occurrence of the
p q
same event ‘E’. Then odds in favour and odds against the event E are defined as and
q p
respectively.

 Illustration 1:
A die is thrown once. What is the probability of getting a number less then 3?

Solution: Favourable outcomes in this case are two (i.e. 1 or 2) out of total six outcomes

 Illustration 5:
If the probability of winning a game is 0.3, what is the probability of losing it?

Solution: Probability of winning a game = 0.3. Probability of losing it = q (say).

Probability of winning a game + probability of losing the same game = 1
0.3 + q = 1
 q = 1 – 0.3
 q = 0.7.

FORMULAE AND CONCEPTS AT A GLANCE

 Random experiment: An experiment whose outcomes cannot be predicted in

advance is called a random experiment.
 Sample space: The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment is called a sample
space.
 Events: The possible outcomes of a trial are called events.
 Exhaustive events: It is the set of total number of all possible outcomes of any trial.
 Mutually exclusive events: Two or more events are said to be mutually exclusive if
they cannot happen simultaneously in the trial.
 Favourable events: The cases, which ensure the occurrence of the events, are
called favourable.
 Independent events: Two or more events are said to be independent if the
happening or non-happening of any one does not depend on the happening or non-
happening of any other.
 Classical probability : The probability of occurrence of event A, denoted by P(A), is
defined as :
number of favourable cases n(A) m
P(A) =  
number of exhaustive cases n(S) n

m nm
Then odds in favour of an event A = and odds against the event A =
nm m

P(A) + P(A) = 1

 P(A) = 1  P(A)

0  P(A)  1 and 0  P(A)  1

When P(A) = 1, then A is called a sure event.

When P(A) = 0, then A is called an impossible event.

DEFINITION

A circle is the locus of a point which moves in a plane in such a way that its distance from a fixed
point always remains the same.
The fixed point is called the centre and the given constant distance is known as the radius of the
circle.
If ‘r’ is the radius of the circle, then
(i) Circumference = 2r or d, where d = 2r is the diameter of the circle.
2 d2
(ii) Area = r or

AREA ENCLOSED BY TWO CONCENTRIC CIRCLES

If R and r are radii of two concentric circles, then

Area enclosed by the two circles = R2  r2
=  (R + r) (R  r). r
R

Some Useful Results:

(i) If two circles touch internally, then the distance between their centres is equal to the
difference of their radii
(ii) If two circles touch externally, then the distance between their centres is equal to the sum of
their radii.
(iii) Distance moved by a rotating wheel in one revolution is equal to the circumference of the
wheel.
(iv) The number of revolutions completed by a rotating wheel in one minute
Distance moved in one minute

The circumference of a circle exceeds the diameter by 16.8 cm. Find the radius of the circle.

Solution: Let the radius of the circle be r cm. Then,

Diameter = 2r cm and circumference = 2r cm
It is given that the circumference exceeds the diameter by 16.8 cm
 circumference = diameter + 16.8
 2r = 2r + 16.8

 44r = 14r + 16.8 × 7
 44r  14r = 117.6

Hence, radius = 3.92cm.

 Illustration 3:
Two circles touch internally. The sum of their areas is 116  cm2 and distance between their centres
is 6 cm. Find the radii of the circles.

Solution: Let R and r be the radii of the circles

having centres at O and O respectively.
Then
6cm
Sum of areas = 116  cm2 r
 R2 + r2 = 116  O O
 R2 + r2 = 116 R
Distance between the centres = 6 cm
 OO = 6 cm
Rr=6
 (R + r)2 + (R  r)2 = 2 (R2 + r2)
 (R + r)2 = 2  116  36 = 196
 R + r = 14 cm.
 R = 10 and r = 4.
Hence radii of the circles are 10 cm and 4 cm.

The inner circumference of a circular track is 220m. The track is 7m wide everywhere. Calculate the
cost of putting up a fence along the outer circle at the rate of Rs 2 per metre. (use  = 22/7).

Solution: Let the inner and outer radii of the circular track be r metres and R metres
respectively. Then,
inner circumference = 220 metres
22
 2r = 220  2   r  220

Since the track is 7 metre wide everywhere.
Therefore, r

outer circumference = 2R 7m
22

rate of fencing = Rs 2 per metre
 total cost of fencing = (circumference  rate)

 diameter = 2r cm = (2 × 35)cm = 70 cm.
Hence, the diameter of the wheel is 70 cm.

INTRODUCTION

In our day-to-day life, we generally relate ourselves with surface areas and volumes of solids. These
are mainly of three types:

1. Problems on combination of two or more solids.

2. Problems on conversion of a solid into another.
3. Problems on part of a solid, for instance, frustum of a right circular cone.
Before we take up these problems, we take a review of the formulae for Surface Areas and Volumes
of some solids.

CUBOID

A solid bounded by three pairs of parallel plane

surfaces is called a parallelopiped. The plane surfaces
are known as the faces of the parallelopiped. h
A parallelopiped whose faces are rectangles and
adjacent faces are perpendicular, is called a
l
rectangular parallelopiped or a cuboid. b
Let l, b and h be respectively the length, breadth and
height of a cuboid. Then,
Lateral Surface Area = 2h(l + b)
Total Surface Area = 2(lb + bh + hl)
Volume = lbh.

CUBE

A cuboid whose length, breadth and height, all

are equal is called a cube. So for a cube, a
l = b = h = a, (say).
Then, a
2
Lateral Surface Area = 4a
Total Surface Area = 6a
2 a
3
Volume =a.

RIGHT CIRCULAR CYLINDER

A right circular cylinder is a solid generated by the revolution of a

rectangle about one of its sides and the side about which the h
rectangle rotates becomes the height of the cylinder and the other
side becomes the radius of the cylinder.
Let r be the radius and h be the height of a cylinder.
Then, r
Lateral Surface Area = 2rh
Total Surface Area = 2r(r + h)
Volume = r2h.

FY-1923-P8-MATHS-SURFACE AREAS AND VOLUMES-2

 76

RIGHT CIRCULAR CONE

A right circular cone is a solid generated by revolving a line V

segment which passes through a fixed point and which makes
a constant angle with a fixed line.
The fixed point, say V, is called the vertex of the cone. The 
fixed line is called the axis and the revolving line is called the
generator. The constant angle ‘’ is known as semi-vertical
l h
angle.
The length of axis is called the height ‘h’ of the cone. The length
of the generator ‘l’ is called the slant height of the cone. If r be
the radius of the circular base, then
r
Lateral Surface Area = rl, l = r 2  h2
Total Surface Area = r(r + l)
1 2
Volume = r h.

SPHERE

A sphere can be described as the set of all points in space,

which are equidistant from a fixed point. The fixed point is
called the centre of the sphere. r

Lateral Surface Area (or Total Surface Area) = 4r2
4
Volume = r3.
3

HEMISPHERE r

If a sphere is cut into two parts by a plane through the centre of
the sphere, then each part is called a hemisphere. The radius
of the hemisphere is the same as the radius ‘r’ of the sphere
from which it is cut.
Lateral Surface Area = 2r2
Total Surface Area = 3r2
2
Volume = r3.

CONVERSION OF A SOLID INTO ANOTHER

Usually we convert a solid into another solid of different shapes. In the process, whole of the material
is supposed to be transferred. So the volume (of the material) remains equal. However, the surface
area changes in accordance with the newly generated figure.

 Illustration 1:
The side of a metallic cube is 6 cm. The cube is melted and reformed the molten material, a wire of
uniform circular cross section is drawn. If the diameter of wire is kept 1 mm, how long wire can be
drawn?

Solution: The side of the metallic cube = 6 cm.

So the volume of the material = 63 cm3 = 216 cm3.
Thus the volume of the wire = 216 cm3

FY-1923-P8-MATHS-SURFACE AREAS AND VOLUMES-2

 77

Diameter of the wire = 1mm = cm
10
1 1 1
Radius of the wire =  cm = cm.
2 10 20
Let the length of the wire = h cm.
2
 1  3 h 3
So the volume of the wire =     h cm = cm .
 20  400
h
Thus = 216.
400
216  400 216  400
So h = = = 27498.4.
 3.142
Hence the length of the wire = 27498.4 cm = 274.984 m
 275 m.

Corollary:

Not only solids, but certain liquids, like water, also keeps the same volume, while undergoing change
in the shape, the shape of water is completely dependent on the shape of the container. So the
problems involving the conversion of the shape of water can be solved similarly.

 Illustration 2:
The water from a rectangular tank of size 30 m  15 m  11 m, which is full, is to be transferred
completely to a cylindrical tank of radius 28 m. What should be the minimum height of this tank?

Solution: The volume of water in the rectangular tank of size 30 m  15 m  11 m

= (30  15  11) m3 = 4950 m3.
Radius of the cylindrical tank = 28 m (given)
Let the height of the water in the tank = h m.
So the volume of water in the cylindrical tank
22
=   (28)2 h m3 =  28  28  h m3.
7
Thus 22  28  4  h = 4950
4950
or, h = = 2.01 m.
22  28  4
So the minimum height of the cylindrical tank is 2.01 m.

Exercise 1:
(i) A metallic sphere of diameter 1 cm is to be melted and recasted into a hollow sphere of
thickness 1 mm. Find the internal and external radii of the sphere.
(ii) A well of diameter 3 m is dug 21 m deep. The earth taken out of it is spread evenly all around
it to a width of 8 m to form an embankment. Find the height of the embankment.
(iii) A cone is 14 cm high and radius of its base is 3.5 cm. It is melted and recasted into a
hemisphere. Find the radius of the hemisphere.

COMBINATIONS OF SOLIDS

In our day-to-day life, we observe such objects, which are combinations of various solids, like,
cuboids, right circular cylinders, right circular cones, spheres, hemispheres, etc. To find the surface
areas and volumes of such objects, we require the formulae for the surface areas and volumes of the
basic solids, of which the objects are made.

A pencil is in the form of a cone mounted on a cylinder with the same radius. The total length of the
pencil is 15 cm of which 1.5 cm is the conical portion. The diameter of the pencil is 0.7 cm. Find the
total surface area of the pencil.

Solution: Total surface area of the pencil

= Lateral surface area of the cone + Lateral surface area of the cylinder
+ Area of the base of the cylinder

There is a special class of solids, like a hollow cylinder, a hollow sphere etc.
A hollow cylinder can be thought of an object bounded by two cylinders with same axis. Similarly a
hollow sphere can be considered to be an object bounded by two concentric spheres.

 Illustration 4:
Find the mass of a 10.5 m long iron pipe, if the external radius of the pipe is 2.6 cm, thickness of the
metal is 2 mm and the mass of 1 cm3 of iron is 7.8 gm.

Solution: Volume of the iron metal = volume of external cylinder – volume of internal cylinder
= R2h – r2h, where R = 2.6 cm, r = (2.6 – 0.2) cm = 2.4 cm
= (R2 – r2)h and h = 10.5 m = 1050 cm
22
= (R + r) (R – r)h = (2.6 + 2.4) (2.6 – 2.4)  1050 cm3
7
= 22  5  0.2  150 cm3 = 3300 cm3.

10.5 m

As the mass of 1 cm3 of iron metal is 7.8 gm, therefore the mass of the pipe
= 3300  7.8 gm = 25740 gm = 25.74 kg.
A solid can be conceived as an object formed by rotation of a plane object. In
particular, a double cone can be thought of an object formed by the rotation of a
triangle about a side.

 Illustration 5:
A triangle ABC is right angled at A. AB = 5 cm and AC = 12 cm. It revolves about its hypotenuse. Find
the volume of the double cone so formed.

Solution: In ABC, right angled at A, AB = 5 cm and AC = 12 cm.

Therefore hypotenuse BC = 52  122 = 169 = 13 cm.
Let AM  BC.

surface of a hemisphere of diameter 6 cm, at its centre. Find the total surface area of the top.
(ii) Find the mass of a hollow sphere of lead, with external radius 10 cm and thickness 2 mm, if 1
cm3 of lead weighs 11.4 gm.

FRUSTUM OF A RIGHT CIRCULAR CONE

A frustum of a right circular cone is obtained by V

cutting the cone in a plane parallel to its base.
Thus a frustum of a right circular cone has two
bases, parallel to each other. The perpendicular (h1 – h)
distance between the two bases is called the
height of the frustum. Also, the slant height of the
frustum has two radii. A' O' B' h1

Let a frustum has height h, slant height l and the l1
two radii r1 and r2 (r1 > r2).
Let the total height of the cone be h1 and the total l

slant height of the cone be l1.

Thus the lateral surface area of a frustum of a right circular cone is (r1 + r2) l, where r1 and r2 are

Problem 1: The frustum is made up of a metal sheet, whose circular bases are covered. The
area of upper and lower circular bases are 25 cm2 and  cm2 respectively. If the
height of the frustum is 3 cm, then find the surface area of the frustum.

Solution: Area of upper cover of frustum = A1

Let r1 = radius of upper cover
