A roller which is cylindrical in shape covers distance equal to 5 rounds per hour. The radius of wheel is 4.5 m and the height is 7 m. Find the total area covered by the roller in making 20 rounds and time taken in covering 20 rounds. (Take π = 22/7)

A roller which is cylindrical in shape covers distance equal to 5 rounds per hour. The radius of wheel is 4.5 m and the height is 7 m. Find the total area covered by the roller in making 20 rounds and time taken in covering 20 rounds. (Take π = 22/7) Correct Answer <p>3,960 m<sup>2</sup>, 4 hours</p>

Given:

Number of rounds taken by roller = 5

Radius (r) of roller = 4.5 m

Height (h) of roller = 7 m

Concepts used:

Curved surface area (CSA) of cylindrical roller = 2πrh

Calculation:

Curved surface area of roller = Area covered by roller in 1 round

CSA of roller = 2πrh

⇒ 2 × 22/7 × 4.5 × 7 m2

⇒ 198 m2

Area covered in 1 revolution = 198 m2

⇒ Area covered in 5 revolutions = 198 × 5 m2 = 990 m2

Area covered in 20 rounds = 198 × 20 m2 = 3,960 m2

Time required in covering 990 m2 = 1 hour = 60 minutes

Time required in covering 1 m2 = 60/990 minutes = 2/33 minutes

Time required on covering 20 rounds = 2/33 minutes × 3,960 m2 = 240 minutes = 4 hours

∴ Total area covered by the wheel in making 15 revolutions is 3,960 m2and time taken in covering 20 rounds are equal to 4 hours.

Each of the question below consists of a question and three statements number I, II and III given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statement are sufficient to answer the question. If the bus is travelling from Surat to Ahmadabad and a car is travelling from Ahmadabad to Surat, then what is the distance between Surat and Ahmadabad? I. The speed of a car is 40% less than the speed of bus. Bus started at 9 am and car started at 10 am and they meet at 3 pm of the same day. II. After travelling for 1 hour, because of traffic average speed of bus is decreased by 20% and covers distance between Surat to Ahmadabad in 11 hours. Original speed of car is 20% less than original speed of bus and before crossing bus it covered 200 km if starts 1 hour later than bus. After crossing car, bus covers remaining distance in 5 hours. III. Speed of bus is 10 km/hr more than the speed of car and before crossing car ratio of distances covered bus and car in same time was 5 : 4. Time taken by car to cover the distance between Ahmadabad and Surat is 2 hours 15 minutes more than time taken by bus to cover the same distance.
