Part A: Section C – Long Answer Questions (4 Marks Each)

1. A rectangular tank is 80 cm long, 40 cm wide, and 30 cm deep. Find: (a) Its volume, and (b) The cost of painting its inner surface at ₹5 per m².

(a) Volume:

Volume = = × ×

= cm³ =

Volume = 96,000 cm³ or 0.096 m³.

(b) Cost of painting:

Inner surface area (5 faces, no top) = lb + 2(bh + hl)

Convert to meters: l = m, b = m, h = m

Area = (0.8 × 0.4) + 2(0.4 × 0.3 + 0.3 × 0.8)

= + 2( + ) = 0.32 + 2 ×

= 0.32 + 0.72 =

Cost = 1.04 × 5 = ₹

Excellent! Cost = ₹5.20.

2. Find the total surface area of a cylinder of height 20 cm and base radius 7 cm.

TSA = 2πr(r + h)

= 2 × × × ( + )

= 2 × 3.14 × 7 ×

= cm² (approximately)

Perfect! Total surface area ≈ 1187 cm².

3. The dimensions of a cuboid are in the ratio 4 : 3 : 2 and its volume is 192 cm³. Find its dimensions.

Let dimensions be 4x, 3x, and 2x

Volume = 4x × 3x × 2x = x³ = 192

x³ = 192 ÷ 24 =

x = cm

Dimensions: Length = 4 × 2 = cm

Breadth = 3 × 2 = cm

Height = 2 × 2 = cm

Excellent! Dimensions are 8 cm × 6 cm × 4 cm.

4. A metal cube of edge 10 cm is melted to make 10 small cubes of equal size. Find the edge of each small cube.

Volume of large cube = ³ = cm³

Volume of each small cube = 1000 ÷ = cm³

If edge of small cube = a, then a³ =

a = ³√100 ≈ cm

Perfect! Edge of each small cube ≈ 4.64 cm.
