A toy is made using a cuboid and a sphere. A hollow cone with outer radius 4 cm, inner radius 3 cm and height 24 cm is formed into a cuboid of length 11 cm and breadth 4 cm. Also, a hollow cylinder of thickness 2 cm, outer radius 5 cm and height 18 cm is formed into a sphere. The sphere is kept above the cuboid and toy is made. Which of the following is true?

A toy is made using a cuboid and a sphere. A hollow cone with outer radius 4 cm, inner radius 3 cm and height 24 cm is formed into a cuboid of length 11 cm and breadth 4 cm. Also, a hollow cylinder of thickness 2 cm, outer radius 5 cm and height 18 cm is formed into a sphere. The sphere is kept above the cuboid and toy is made. Which of the following is true? Correct Answer Height of cuboid < Height of sphere

∵ The cuboid is made from the hollow cone,

∴ Volume of the cuboid = Volume of the hollow cone

L × B × H = 1/3 × π × (R12 – R22) × h

11 × 4 × H = 1/3 × 22/7 × (16 – 9) × 24

∴ Height of the cuboid = 4 cm

∵ The sphere is made from the hollow cylinder

∴ Volume of the sphere = Volume of the hollow cylinder

Given: Thickness = 2 cm

∴ R1 – R2 = 2

⇒ R2 = 5 – 2 = 3 cm

4/3 × π × R3 = π × (r12 – r22) × h

4/3 × π × R3 = π × (25 – 9) × 18

R3 = 3 × 4 × 18 = 3 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

∴ R = 6 cm

Now, height of the sphere = Diameter = 2 × Radius = 2 × 6 = 12 cm

Clearly, Height of the cuboid < Height of the sphere

What is the ratio of the volume of a cuboid to the volume of a cube? Statement I. The ratio of the height, breadth, and length of the cuboid is 1 : 2 : 3 and the total surface area of the cuboid is 352 cm2. Statement II. The total surface area of the cube is given to be 384 cm2. Statement III. The length of the cuboid is 3 times the height of the cuboid and 1.5 times the breadth of the cuboid. The difference between the length and the height of the cuboid is 8 cm.
