Question : The area of an equilateral triangle is $4 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}^2$. Find the side (in cm) of the triangle.

Option 1: $2$

Option 2: $4$

Option 3: $\sqrt{3}$

Option 4: $2 \sqrt{3}$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $4$


Solution : It is known that the area of the equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2$
Where $a$ is the side of the equilateral triangle.
It is given that the area of the equilateral triangle is $4\sqrt{3}$ cm$^2$
So, $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2$ = $4\sqrt{3}$
⇒ $a^2 = 16$
⇒ $a = 4$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is 4.

Question : A solid metallic sphere of radius 6.3 cm is melted and recast into a right circular cone of height 25.2 cm. What is the ratio of the diameter of the base to the height of the cone?

Option 1: 2 : 1

Option 2: 3 : 2

Option 3: 1 : 2

Option 4: 2 : 3

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 1 : 2


Solution : The radius of the sphere ($R$) = 6.3 cm
The height of the cone ($h$) = 25.2 cm
Volume of sphere = $\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$
Volume of cone = $\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h$
According to the question
$\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$ = $\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h$
⇒ ($\frac{4}{3}$) × 6.3 × 6.3 × 6.3 = $\frac{1}{3} \times r^2 \times 25.2$
⇒ $r = \sqrt{\frac{4 \times 6.3 \times 6.3 \times 6.3}{25.2}}$
⇒ $r = 6.3$
Diameter = 2 × 6.3 = 12.6 cm
So, the required ratio = 12.6 : 25.2 = 1 : 2
Hence, the correct answer is 1 : 2.
