Part B: Objective Questions (1 Mark Each)

Choose the correct answer and write the option (a/b/c/d)

(1) The slant height of a cone is found using:

(a) r+h (b) r2+h2 (c) r2−h2 (d) r2 + h2

Correct! Using Pythagorean theorem: l2 = r2 + h2, so l = r2+h2.

(2) If the radius of a sphere is doubled, the volume becomes:

(a) 2 times (b) 4 times (c) 6 times (d) 8 times

Correct! Volume ∝ r3, so when radius doubles, volume becomes 23 = 8 times.

(3) The surface area of a cube is 216 cm2. What is its edge?

(a) 6 cm (b) 12 cm (c) 9 cm (d) 18 cm

Correct! 6a2 = 216, so a2 = 36, therefore a = 6 cm.

(a) 3.82 cm (b) 2.55 cm (c) 7.64 cm (d) 6.37 cm

Correct! 13π52h = 100, so h = 30025π ≈ 3.82 cm.

(5) A cylinder and cone have the same base and height. The ratio of their volumes is:

(a) 1:1 (b) 2:1 (c) 3:1 (d) 1:3

Correct! Cylinder : Cone = πr2h : 13πr2h = 3:1.

(a) 7 cm (b) 14 cm (c) 3.5 cm (d) 5 cm

Yes! The radius is 3.5 cm.

(8) The lateral surface area of a cube with side a is:

(a) 4a2 (b) 6a2 (c) 3a2 (d) 2a2

Correct! Lateral surface area excludes top and bottom, so 4 sides × a2 = 4a2.

(9) The total surface area of a cone is:

Correct! TSA = base area + curved surface area = πr2 + πrl.
