Question : The curved surface area of the sphere is 154 cm2. Find the volume of the sphere (rounded off to one digit after decimal).
Option 1: 156.9 cm3
Option 2: 179.7 cm3
Option 3: 161.1 cm3
Option 4: 147.8 cm3
Correct Answer: 179.7 cm3
Solution : Given, the curved surface area of the sphere is 154 cm2 Let the radius of the sphere be $r$. $4πr^2 = 154$ ⇒ $4 × \frac{22}{7} × r^2 = 154$ ⇒ $r^2 = \frac{49}{4}$ ⇒ $r = \frac{7}{2}$ So, the volume of

Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the fifth number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number and the fourth number is related to the third number. 5 : 140 :: 8 : 536 :: 6 : ?
Option 1: 243
Option 2: 233
Option 3: 234
Option 4: 244
Correct Answer: 234
Solution : Given: 5 : 140 :: 8 : 536 :: 6 : ?
Like, (5)2 + 3 = 25 + 3 = 28; 28 × 5 = 140 (8)2 + 3 = 64 + 3 = 67; 67 × 8 = 536 Similarly, (6)
Question : From the top of an upright pole 17.75 m high, the angle of elevation of the top of an upright tower was 60°. If the tower was 57.75 m tall, how far away (in m) from the foot of the pole was the foot of the tower?
Option 1: $40 \sqrt{3}$
Option 2: $\frac{151 \sqrt{3}}{6}$
Option 3: $\frac{77}{4} \sqrt{3}$
Option 4: $\frac{40 \sqrt{3}}{3}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{40 \sqrt{3}}{3}$
Solution : We have to find the value of $x$. In $\triangle ABC,$ $\tan60° = \frac{AC}{BC}$ We know, $CE=BD$ ⇒ $AC=AE-CE$ ⇒ $AC=57.75-17.75$ ⇒ $AC=40$ In $\triangle ABC,$ $\tan60° = \frac{40}{x}$ ⇒ $\sqrt3=\frac{40}{x}$ ⇒ $x=\frac{40}{\sqrt3}$ ⇒ $x=\frac{40\sqrt3}{3}$ m Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{40\sqrt3}{3}$.
