Math worksheet focusing on surface areas and volumes with multiple-choice questions.

Here is the step-by-step solution to all 15 problems from the “Surface Areas and Volumes” worksheet:

---

1. Find the area enclosed between two concentric circles of radii 4 cm and 3 cm.

This is the area of the annulus (ring).

> Area = πR² – πr² = π(R² – r²)
> = π(4² – 3²) = π(16 – 9) = 7π cm²

✔ Answer: 7π cm²

---

2. A cuboid has total surface area of 40 sq m and its lateral surface area is 26 sq m. Find the area of base.

Total Surface Area (TSA) = Lateral Surface Area (LSA) + 2 × Base Area
→ 40 = 26 + 2 × Base Area
→ 2 × Base Area = 14
→ Base Area = 7 sq m

✔ Answer: 7 sq m

---

3. The area of three adjacent faces of a cuboid are x, y and z. If the volume is V, prove that V² = xyz

Let dimensions of cuboid be: l, b, h

Then:
- x = lb
- y = bh
- z = lh

Volume V = l × b × h

Now, xyz = (lb)(bh)(lh) = l²b²h² = (lbh)² = V²

✔ Hence proved: V² = xyz

4. A sphere is double height as the cube. The ratio of their volumes is:

Assume cube side = a → height = a
Sphere height = diameter = 2a → radius = a

Volume of cube = a³
Volume of sphere = (4/3)πr³ = (4/3)πa³

Ratio = Sphere : Cube = [(4/3)πa³] : [a³] = (4π)/3 : 1

But options are numerical ratios — likely assuming π ≈ 22/7

So, (4/3)π ≈ (4/3)(22/7) = 88/21

Thus, ratio = 88 : 21

✔ Answer: (A) 88:21

---

5. The lateral surface area of a right circular cylinder with base radius 8m & height 14m is:

LSA = 2πrh = 2 × π × 8 × 14 = 224π

Using π ≈ 22/7 → 224 × 22/7 = 32 × 22 = 704 sq m

✔ Answer: (C) 704 sq m

---

6. The number of surfaces in right circular cylinder is:

A cylinder has:
- 2 circular bases (top and bottom)
- 1 curved lateral surface

Total = 3 surfaces

✔ Answer: (A) 3

---

7. A sphere and a cube are of the same height. The ratio of their volume is:

Same height → sphere diameter = cube side = a

→ Sphere radius = a/2
Volume of sphere = (4/3)π(a/2)³ = (4/3)π(a³/8) = πa³/6
Volume of cube = a³

Ratio (sphere : cube) = (πa³/6) : a³ = π/6

Using π ≈ 22/7 → (22/7)/6 = 22/42 = 11/21

→ Ratio = 11 : 21

✔ Answer: (A) 11:21

---

8. A cylindrical rod whose height is 8 times of its radius, is melted and recast into spherical balls of same radius. The no. of balls will be:

Let radius = r, then height = 8r

Volume of cylinder = πr²h = πr²(8r) = 8πr³

Volume of one spherical ball = (4/3)πr³

Number of balls = Volume_cylinder / Volume_ball = (8πr³) / ((4/3)πr³) = 8 ÷ (4/3) = 8 × 3/4 = 6

✔ Answer: (C) 6

---

9. The diameter of a copper sphere is 6 cm. It is beaten and drawn into a wire of diameter 0.2 cm. The length of wire is...

Volume remains constant.

Sphere radius = 3 cm → Volume = (4/3)π(3)³ = 36π cm³

Wire is a cylinder: radius = 0.1 cm, let length = L

Volume of wire = πr²L = π(0.1)²L = 0.01πL

Set equal: 0.01πL = 36π → L = 36 / 0.01 = 3600 cm

✔ Answer: (A) 3600 cm

10. The height and radius of a cone are 3 cm and 4 cm respectively. Its surface area is:

First, slant height l = √(r² + h²) = √(16 + 9) = √25 = 5 cm

Total Surface Area = πr² + πrl = πr(r + l) = π×4×(4 + 5) = 36π cm²

If π ≈ 22/7 → 36 × 22/7 = 792/7 = 113.14 cm²

But option D says 57 3/4 cm² = 57.75 — doesn’t match.

Wait — perhaps they want curved surface area only?

Curved SA = πrl = π×4×5 = 20π ≈ 62.8 cm² — not matching.

Check options again:

(A) 12 cm² — too small
(B) 6 cm² — no
(C) cm² — incomplete?
(D) 57 3/4 = 57.75 — still not matching 36π ≈ 113.14

Possibly typo or misprint.

But if we compute only curved surface area using π=3.14:

→ πrl = 3.14 × 4 × 5 = 62.8 — not matching.

Wait — maybe they mean total surface area and expect answer as fraction?

36π = 36 × 22/7 = 792/7 = 113 1/7 cm²

None of the options match exactly.

But option D says 57 3/4 — which is 231/4 — doesn’t match.

Perhaps it's a mistake in question or options.

But if we recheck — maybe they meant height 4, radius 3?

Then l = √(3²+4²)=5 → TSA = π×3×(3+5)=24π≈75.36 — still not matching.

Alternatively, perhaps they want lateral surface area only and used π=3.14:

→ 3.14 × 4 × 5 = 62.8 — not matching.

Given ambiguity, but since 36π is correct for TSA, and none match, perhaps D is closest if misprinted?

Actually, let’s check if option D is written as “57 3/4” — that’s 57.75 — which is roughly half of 113.14 — maybe they forgot to multiply by 2?

No — best to go with calculation.

✔ But since none match exactly, and if forced to choose, perhaps D is intended answer?

Wait — look at problem again: “Its surface area is-” and option D is “57 3/4 cm²”

Wait — maybe they used π=22/7 and computed something else?

TSA = πr(r+l) = (22/7)*4*(4+5) = (22/7)*36 = 792/7 = 113 1/7 — still not 57.75.

Alternatively, if they took radius=3, height=4, then:

l=5, TSA=π×3×(3+5)=24π=24×22/7=528/7≈75.4 — still not.

I think there might be an error in the question or options.

But since 36π is correct, and 36π ≈ 113.14, and no option matches, perhaps (D) is misprinted, or maybe it’s a trick.

Alternatively — maybe they meant volume? No, says surface area.

I’ll note that correct answer is 36π cm² ≈ 113.14 cm², but since it’s not listed, and D is 57.75, which is half — perhaps they forgot the base?

If only curved surface area: πrl = 20π ≈ 62.8 — still not.

Wait — 57.75 = 231/4 — 231/4 = 57.75 — 231 ÷ 4 = 57.75

20π ≈ 62.8 — not close.

Perhaps use π=3? Then TSA = 3×4×9 = 108 — not 57.75.

I think this might be a printing error. But since the problem says “take π=3.14” in later questions, perhaps here too.

Let me compute with π=3.14:

TSA = πr(r+l) = 3.14 × 4 × 9 = 3.14 × 36 = 113.04 cm²

Still not matching any.

Option D is “57 3/4” — which is 57.75 — perhaps it’s for a different problem.

Given that, I suspect option D is incorrect, but since it's the only one with a fractional form, and others are too small, perhaps it’s intended.

But logically, none are correct. However, if we must pick, and considering possible typo, I’ll leave it as D for now, but note discrepancy.

✔ Answer: (D) 57 3/4 cm² — *with caution*

11. The ratio of the volume & surface area of a sphere of unit radius is-

Radius r = 1

Volume = (4/3)πr³ = 4π/3
Surface Area = 4πr² = 4π

Ratio (Volume : Surface Area) = (4π/3) : 4π = (1/3) : 1 = 1:3

✔ Answer: (A) 1:3

---

12. Curved surface area of an ice-cream cone of slant height 12 cm is 113.04 cm². Find the base radius? (take π=3.14)

Curved SA = πrl = 3.14 × r × 12 = 113.04

→ 37.68 r = 113.04
→ r = 113.04 / 37.68 = 3 cm

✔ Answer: (C) 3 cm

---

13. The height of a right circular cone is 16 cm & its base radius is 12 cm. Find the curved surface area. (take π=3.14)

Slant height l = √(r² + h²) = √(144 + 256) = √400 = 20 cm

Curved SA = πrl = 3.14 × 12 × 20 = 3.14 × 240 = 753.6 cm²

✔ Answer: (B) 753.6 cm²

---

14. The radius of the cylinder whose lateral surface area is 704 cm² & height is 8 cm is:

LSA = 2πrh = 704
→ 2 × π × r × 8 = 704
→ 16πr = 704
→ r = 704 / (16π)

Use π=22/7 → r = 704 / (16 × 22/7) = 704 × 7 / (16 × 22) = (704/16) × (7/22) = 44 × 7/22 = 2 × 7 = 14 cm

✔ Answer: (A) 14 cm

---

15. The radius of a cylinder is doubled but its lateral surface area is unchanged. Then its height must be-

LSA = 2πrh

Original: LSA₁ = 2πrh
New: r’ = 2r, h’ = ? , LSA₂ = 2π(2r)h’ = 4πrh’

Set LSA₂ = LSA₁ → 4πrh’ = 2πrh → 4h’ = 2h → h’ = h/2

So height is halved
