4 Marks Questions: 

1. Shanti Sweets Stall was placing an order for making cardboard boxes for packing 

their sweets. Two sizes of boxes were required. The bigger of dimensions 25cm by 20

cm by 5cm and the smaller of dimensions 15cm by 12cm by 5cm.5% of the total 

surface area is required extra, for all the overlaps. If the cost of the cardboard is Rs. 4

for 1000cm2, find the cost of cardboard required for supplying 250 boxes of each kind.


Surface area of bigger cardboard box


Ans: Given, Length of bigger cardboard box (L)=25cm

Breadth (B)=20cm and Height (H)=5cm

Total surface area of bigger cardboard box

=2(LB+BH+HL)

Substitute values

=2(25×20+20×5+5×25)

=2(500+100+125)

=1450cm2

5% extra surface of total surface area is required for all the overlaps.

5% of 1450=5100×1450=72.5cm2

Now, total surface area of bigger cardboard box with extra overlaps

=1450+72.5=1522.5cm2

Total surface area with extra overlaps of 250 such boxes

=250×1522.5=380625cm2

Since, Cost of the cardboard for 1000cm2= Rs.4

Now, Cost of the cardboard for 1cm2= Rs. 41000

Cost of the cardboard for 380625cm2= Rs. 41000×380625= Rs. 1522.50


Ratio of Moon and Earth surface areas


Now length of the smaller box (l)=15cm,

Breadth (b)=12cm and Height (h)=5cm

Total surface area of the smaller cardboard box

=2(lb+bh+hl)

Substitute  values

=2(15×12+12×5+5×15)

=2(180+60+75)

=2×315=630cm2

5% of extra surface of total surface area is required for all the overlaps.

Thus,5% of 630=5100×630=31.5cm2

Total surface area with extra overlaps =630+31.5=661.5cm2

Now Total surface area with extra overlaps of 250 such smaller boxes

=661.5×250=165375cm2

Cost of the cardboard for 1000cm2= Rs. 4

Cost of the cardboard for 1cm2= Rs. 41000

Cost of the cardboard for 165375cm2= Rs. 41000×165375= Rs. 661.50

Therefore, Total cost of the cardboard required for supplying 250 boxes of each kind

=Total cost of bigger boxes + Total cost of smaller boxes

= Rs. 1522.50+ Rs. 661.50

= Rs. 2184


2. Find

(i) the lateral or curved surface area of a petrol storage tank that is 4.2m in diameter 

and 4.5m high.

Ans: Diameter of cylindrical petrol tank =4.2m

Thus, Radius of the cylindrical petrol tank =4.22=2.1m

And Height of the tank=4.5m

Therefore, Curved surface area of the cylindrical tank =2πrh=2×227×2.1×1.45=59.4m2

(ii) how much steel was actually used if 112 of the steel actually used was wasted in making the tank?

Ans: Let the actual area of steel used be x meters

Since 112 of the actual steel used was wasted, the area of steel which has gone into the tank.

x112x=1112x

1112x=59.4

x=59.4×1211=64.8m2

Hence, the steel actually used is 64.8m2.


3. A hemispherical bowl made of brass has inner diameter 10.5cm. Find the cost of 

tinplating it on the inside at the rate of Rs. 16per 100cm2.

Ans: Inner diameter of bowl =10.5cm

Thus, Inner radius of bowl (r)=10.52=5.25cm

Now, Inner surface area of bowl =2πr2

=2×227×5.25×5.25

=2×227×214×214=6934cm2

cost of tin-plating per 100cm2= Rs. 16

Then, Cost of tin-plating per 1cm2=16100

Therefore, Cost of tin-plating per 6934cm2=16100×6934= Rs. 27.72


4. The diameter of the moon is approximately one fourth the diameter of the earth. 

Find the ratio of their surface areas.

Ans: Let diameter of Earth =x

Thus, Radius of Earth (r)=x2

Surface area of Earth =4πr2=4π×x2×x2=πx2


A right circular cone


Now, Diameter of Moon =14th of diameter of Earth =x4

Thus, Radius of Moon(r)=x8

Surface area of Moon =4πr2=4π×x8×x8=πx216

Now, Ratio = Surface area of Moon  Surface area of Earth =πx216πx2=πx216×1πx2=116

Therefore, Required ratio =1:16


5. A solid cube of side 12cm is cut into eight cubes of equal volume. What will be the 

side of the new cube? Also, find the ratio between their surface areas.

Ans: Volume of solid cube =( side )3=(12)3=1728cm3

Volume of each new cube =18 (Volume of original cube)

=18×1728=216cm3

Side of new cube =2163=6cm

Now, Surface area of original solid cube =6( side )2

=6×12×12=864cm2

Now, Surface area of original solid cube =6 (side) 2

=6×6×6=216cm3

Now according to the question,

 Surface area of original cube  Surface area of new cube =864216=41

Hence, required ration between surface area of original cube to that of new cube =4:1.

7. The front compound wall of a house is decorated by wooden spheres of diameter 

21cm, placed on small supports as shown in figure. Eight such spheres are used for 

this purpose and are to be painted silver. Each support is a cylinder of radius 1.5cm 

and height 7cm and is to be painted black. Find he cost of paint required if silver paint 

costs 25 paise per cm2 and black paint costs 5paise per cm2


House is decorated by wooden spheres


Ans: Diameter of a wooden sphere =21cm.

Then, Radius of wooden sphere (R)=212cm

And Radius of the cylinder (r)=1.5cm

Surface area of silver painted part = Surface area of sphere - Upper part of cylinder for 

support

=4πR2πr2

=π(4R2r2)

Substitute values

=227×[4×(212)2(1510)2]

=227×[4×441494]

=227[176494]

=227×17554=1378.928cm2

Surface area of such type of 8 spherical part =8×1378.928

=11031.424cm2

Since, Cost of silver paint over 1cm2= Rs. 0.25

Therefore, Cost of silver paint over 11031.928cm2=0.25×11031.928= Rs. 2757.85

Now, curved surface area of a cylindrical support =2πrh

=2×227×1510×7=66cm2

Curved surface area of 8 such cylindrical supports =66×8=528cm2

Since, Cost of black paint over 1cm2 of cylindrical support = Rs. 0.50

Therefore, Cost of black paint over 528cm2 of cylindrical support =0.50×528

= Rs26.40

Therefore, Total cost of paint required = Rs. 2757.85+ Rs. 26.4=Rs.2784.25


8. The difference between outside and inside surface of a cylindrical metallic tripe 14

cmlong is 44sqcm. if the tripe is made of 99cm3. of metal, find the outer and inner 

radius of the tripe.

Ans: Let r1cm and r2cm can be the inner and outer radii respectively of the pipe

Area of the outside surface =2πr2h sq unit

Area of the inside surface =2πr1h sq unit

By the given condition

2πr2h2πr1h=44

or 2πh(r2r1)=44

2×227×14×(r2r1)=44(h=14cm)

Or, 88(r2r1)=44

(r2r1)=12(2)

Again volume of the metal used in the pipe =π(r22r12)h cu units

227(r22r12)×14=99 

or, 44(r22r12)=9944=94(2)

Divide (1) by (2)

(r22r12)r2r1=94÷12

Or, r(r2r1)(r2+r1)(r2r1)=94×21    (r2+r1)=92

Also, (r2r1)=12[ From(1)]

2r2=5

Adding

r2=52

And, 52+r1=92

Therefore, r1=9252

Or, r1=2

Thus, outer radius =2.5cmand inner radius =2cm.


9. The ratio between the radius of the base and height of a cylinder is 2:3. Find the 

total surface area of the cylinder if its volume is 1617cm3

Ans: Let the radius of the base of the cylinder be 2x cm.

Thus, Height of the cylinder =3xcm.

Volume of the cylinder =πr2h cu units

=227×(2x)2×3xcucm.

=227×4x2×3xcucm.

=2647x3cm3

By the given condition

2647x3=1617

x3=1617×7264=49×78=(72)3

Thus, radius =2×72=7cm

And height =3×72=212cm

Total surface area =2πr(r+h) sq units

=2×227×7×(7+212)sqcm.

=44×352sqcm

=770sqcm.

Thus total surface area of the cylinder is 770sqcm.


10. Twenty-seven solid iron spheres, each of radius r and surface area S are melted to 

form a sphere with surface area S' find the

(i) radius r. of the new sphere

Volume of each original sphere =43πr3

Volume of 27spheres =27×43πr3=1083πr3

Volume of new sphere =1083πr3

43π(r)3=1083πr3

(r)3=1083πr3×34π

=27r3

Therefore, r=3r.

(ii) ratio of S and S

Ans: Surface area of original sphere (S)=4πr2

Surface area of new sphere (S)=4π(r)2

=4π(3r)2

=36πr2

Therefore, Ratio of S and S=4πr236πr2=19=1:9.

Topics Covered in Important Questions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 11

There are several topics which are covered in chapter 11, maths class 9 important questions. Given below, we have written down some of the important topics that students need to learn to answer the questions related to this chapter. 

 

Cuboid

Students will be introduced to a new shape called cuboid in the surface area and volume class 9 important questions. A cuboid is a three-dimensional shape made by combining six rectangular faces, all of them being on the right angles. When it comes to finding out the cuboid's total surface area, it is the sum of the areas of all six sides with rectangular faces. 

The cuboid's total surface area can be calculated by using the formula = 2(lb + bh + lh).

 

Lateral Surface Area of Cuboid

Lateral surface area is the sum of all the surface area of sides except the top and the bottom faces. The lateral surface area can be calculated by the following formula which is LSA (cuboid) = 2h(l + b)

 

Cube 

A cube is just like a cuboid, but all the cube sides are of the same length. It is also a three-dimensional shape bounded by the six squares one at each of its face. The cube has 12 edges and a total of 8 vertices. The total surface area of the cube is written in the given formula with an explanation.

Total surface area(TSA) of the cube = 2(a × a + a × a + a × a)

TSA(cube) = 2 × (3a2) = 6a2.

 

Lateral Surface Area of The Cube 

As we have already said earlier, it is the surface area of all the sides except the top and bottom. Thus, the cube's lateral surface area can be calculated by the following formula = 2(a × a + a × a) = 4a2.

 

Right Circular Cylinder 

A right circular cylinder is said to be a cylinder with two parallel circular bases connected by a curved surface. In addition to this, these two bases are precisely aligned over each other, and their axis is at the right angles to the base. 

 

The Curved Surface Area of A Right Circular Cylinder 

To find out the cylinder's surface area, a student needs to get a cylinder with the base radius r and height h. When opened up along the diameter, the curved surface of a cylinder will have the diameter that is d = 2r of the circular base, and it will form a rectangle of a length 2πr with the height h. As a result, a cylinder's curved surface area with base radius r and height h will be 2π × r × h.

 

Total Surface Area of A Right Circular Cylinder 

The cylinder's total surface area with the base (r) and height (h) = 2π × r × h + area of two circular bases. 

TSA = 2π × r × h + 2 × πr2

TSA = 2πr(h + r)

 

Relationship Between The Slant Height And Height of A Right Circular Cone 

With the Pythagoras theorem, we can find out the relationship between the slant height, which is denoted by (l), and height (h) of a right circular is l2= h2+r2.

Here r is the radius of the base of the given cone.

2. The volumes of the two spheres are in the ratio 64:27. Find the ratio of their surface area.

The volume of the two spheres is in the ratio = 64:27

We know that

Volume of sphere =43πr3

Then,

volume of the sphere(1)volume of the sphere(2)=6427

43πr1343πr23=6427

r13r23=6427

r1r2=43

Then, the Ratio of areas in both spheres

Area of the sphere(1)Area of the sphere(2)=4πr124πr22

Area of the sphere(1)Area of the sphere(2)=r12r22

Area of the sphere(1)Area of the sphere(2)=4232

Area of the sphere(1)Area of the sphere(2)=169

Hence, this is the answer.

3. The radius of the cylinder whose lateral surface area is 704 cm2  and height of 8 cm is:

Curved surface area of a cylinder of radius “R” and height “h” =2πRh

Hence, the Curved surface area of the cylinder 

2×227×R×8=704

R=14cm

The radius of the base of the cylinder is 14 cm.

5. If the edge of a cube is tripled, find the ratio of the surface areas of that of a volume of two cubes.

Let the edge of the cube be x

So, the surface area of the cube is 6x2 and the volume will be x3

Now, the edge of the cube is tripled that is 3x

So, the surface area will be 6×(3x)2=54x2  and volume will be 27x3      

Ratio of surface areas of both cubes 6x254x2=19

Ratio of their volumes x327x3=127
