Exercise 10.4
1. The radius of a sphere is 3.5 cm. Find its surface area and volume.
Solution:
Radius (r) =
Surface Area = 4πr^2 = 4 × (22/7) × (3.5)^2 = 4 × (22/7) × 12.25 =
Volume = (4/3)πr^3 = (4/3) × (22/7) × (3.5)^3 = (4/3) × (22/7) × 42.875 ≈
2. The surface area of a sphere is 1018 2/7 sq.cm. What is its volume?

Surface Area = 1018
r ≈ √92.33 ≈
Volume = (4/3)π
3. The length of equator of the globe is 44 cm. Find its surface area.
Solution:
Circumference (2πr) =
2πr = 44
r = 44 × (
Surface Area = 4π
4. The diameter of a spherical ball is 21 cm. How much leather is required to prepare 5 such balls.
Solution:
Diameter (d) =
Surface Area of one ball = 4π
Leather for 5 balls = 1386 × 5 =
5. The ratio of radii of two spheres is 2: 3. Find the ratio of their surface areas and volumes.

7. The diameter of a spherical balloon increases from 14 cm. to 28 cm. as air is being pumped into it. Find the ratio of surface areas of the balloons in the two cases.
Solution:
Initial Radius (r1) = 7 cm, Final Radius (r2) = 14 cm
Ratio of Surface Areas = (4π
8. A hemispherical bowl is made of brass, 0.25 cm. thickness. The inner radius of the bowl is 5 cm. Find the ratio of outer surface area to inner surface area.
Solution:
Inner Radius (r) = 5 cm, Outer Radius (R) = 5.25 cm
Inner Surface Area = 2π
Outer Surface Area = 2π
Ratio = 55.125π / 50π =
9. The diameter of a lead ball is 2.1 cm. The density of the lead used is 11.34 g/cm^3. What is the weight of the ball?
Solution:
Radius (r) = 1.05 cm, Density = 11.34 g/cm^3
Volume = (4/3)π(1.05)^3 ≈ 4.851 cm^3
Weight = Volume × Density ≈ 4.851 × 11.34 ≈
10. A metallic cylinder of diameter 5 cm. and height 3 1/3 cm. is melted and cast into a sphere. What is its diameter.
Solution:
Cylinder Radius (r) = 2.5 cm, Cylinder Height (h) = 10/3 cm
Cylinder Volume = π(2.5)^2(10/3) = 62.5π/3
Sphere Volume = (4/3)πR^3 = 62.5π/3
R^3 = 15.625, R = 2.5 cm
Sphere Diameter = 2R =
11. How many litres of milk can a hemispherical bowl of diameter 10.5 cm. hold?
Solution:
Radius (r) = 5.25 cm
Bowl Volume = (2/3)π(5.25)^3 ≈ 303.1875 cm^3
Volume in litres ≈ 303.1875 ml =
12. A hemispherical bowl has diameter 9 cm. The liquid is poured into cylindrical bottles of diameter 3 cm. and height 3 cm. If a full bowl of liquid is filled in the bottles, find how many bottles are required.
Solution:
Bowl Radius (R) =
Bowl Volume = (2/3)π(4.5)^3 =
Bottle Volume = π(1.5)^2(3) =
