p r h = ´ p ´ (2.1)2 ´ 8.4
3 3
1
= ´ p ´ 2.1 ´ 2.1 ´ 8.4
3
= p ´ 4.41 ´ 2.8cm3

Since, cone is melted and recast into a sphere. Let the

radius of a sphere be R.

Then, volume of a sphere= Volume of a cone

4
Þ p r 3 = p ´ 4.41 ´ 2.8
3
Þ r 3 = 4.41 ´ 0.7 ´ 3
Þ r 3 = 4.41 ´ 2.1
\ r = 21

Hence, the radius of the sphere is 2.1 cm.

Given, lateral surface area of a cube= 256m2

5
 NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths

We know that, lateral surface area of a cube= 4 x

(Side)2

256 = 4 x (Side)2

256
(Side)2 = = 64
4

side = 64
= 8m

[taking positive square root because side is always a

positive quantity]

Now, volume of a cube= (Side)3 = (8)3 = 8 x 8 x 8

= 512m3.

Hence, the volume of the cube is 512m3 .

Q. 8 The number of planks of dimensions (4m x 50cm

x 20cm) that can be stored in a pit which is 16 m long,
12 m wide and 40 m deep is

50
l= 4m, b = 50cm m = 0.5m
100

20
and h=20cm m = 0.2m
100

Volume of the plank = l x b x h = 4 x 0.5 x 0.2 = 4m3

Also, given dimensions of the pit are

l=16m, b=12m and h=40m

Volume of a pit= l x b x h= (16 x 12 x 40)m3

Number of planks =

Volume of the pit

Volume of the plank
16 ´ 12 ´ 40
=

 NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths

Given, dimensions of a room, l =10m, b =10m, h = 5

m

\ Length of the longest pole = Diagonal of a cuboid

(room)

= l 2 + b2 + h2
= (10) 2 + (10) 2 + (5)2
= 100 + 100 + 25
= 225 = 15m

Hence, the length of the longest pole is 15 m.

Q. 10 The radius of a hemispherical balloon increases

from 6 cm to 12 cm as air is being pumped into it. The
ratios of the surface areas of the balloon in the two
cases is

(a) 1 . : 4 (b) 1 : 3

(c) 2 : 3 (d) 2 : 1

Exercise 13.2

Very Short Answer Type Questions

Write whether True or False and justify your answer

Q. 1 The volume of a sphere is equal to two-third of

the volume of a cylinder whose height and diameter
are equal to the diameter of the sphere.

Sol. True

Let the radius of the sphere and cylinder be r.

Given, height of the cylinder= diameter of the base

9
 NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths

Þ h =2r

According to the given condition,

2
Volume of sphere = Volume of cylinder
3

4 3 2
Þ p r = ´ p r 2 ´ 2r
3 3
4 3 4 3
Þ pr = pr
3 3

Hence, the volume of a sphere is equal to two-third of

the volume of a cylinder.

Q. 2 If the radius of a right circular cone is halved and

height is doubled, then volume will remain unchanged.

Solution- False

Let the radius of a right circular cone be r and height of

a right circular cone be h.

1 3
Then, the volume of a right circular cone = pr
3

r
Now, r = , h = 2h

3 2
1æ1 ö
= ç p r 2 h÷
2è3 ø

Hence, the new volume of a right circular cone

becomes half of original volume of a right circular cone.

Q.3 In a right circular cone, height, radius and slant

height do not always be sides of a right triangle.

Sol. True

On rotating a right-angled triangular lamina AOB about

OA, it generates a cone. The point A is the vertex of a
cone. Its base is a circle with centre O and radius 0B.
The length OA is the height of the cone and the length
AB is called its slant height.

11
 NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths

Clearly, ÐAOB = 900

Let the radius of the base= r units, height= h units

and slant height = l units, then,

l 2 = h2 + r 2
Þ l = h2 + r 2

Hence, in a right circular cone, height, radius and slant

height do not always be sides of a right triangle.

Q. 4 If the radius of a cylinder is doubled and its

curved surface area is not changed, the height must be
halved.

Solution. True

Let the radius of a cylinder be r and height be h.

Curved surface area of a cylinder = 2p rh

Again, let if the radius of a cylinder be r = 2r and

height be H.

Curved surface of a cylinder is not changed, therefore

12
 NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths

Þ 2p rh = 2p (2r) ´ H.
Þ 2p rh = 4p rH
2p rh
H=
4p r

Þ H=
2

Hence, the height must be halved.

Q. 5 The volume of the Largest right circular cone that

can be fitted in a cube whose edge is 2r equals to the
volume of a hemisphere radius r.

Sol. True

Given, edge of cube= 2 r, then height of cube becomes

h = 2r.

Volume of a cone =

1 2 1 2
p r h = p r 2 (2r ) = p r 3
3 3 3

2
Volume of a hemisphere = p r3
3

Hence, the volume of a cone is equal to the volume of

a hemisphere.

 NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths

Q. 6 A cylinder and a right circular cone are having

the same base and same height. The volume of the
cylinder is three times the volume of the cone.

Solution- True

Let the radius of the base of a cylinder and a right

circular cone be r and height be h. Then, Volume of a
cylinder = p r 2 h

1 2
Volume of a cone = pr h
3

\Volume of a cylinder = 3 x Volume of a cone

Hence, the volume of a cylinder is three times the

volume of the right circular cone.

Q. 7 A cone, a hemisphere and a cylinder stand on

equal bases and have the same height. The ratio of
their volumes is 1 : 2 : 3.

Sol. True

Let radius of hemisphere is r.

And volume of cylinder,

V3 = p r 2 h = p r 2 ´ r = p r 3 [! h = r ]

1 2
\ V1 : V2 : V3 = p r 3 : p r 3 : p r 3
3 3
= 1: 2 : 3

Hence, the ratio of their volumes is 1:2:3.

Q. 8 If the Length of the diagonal of a cube is 6 3 cm,

then the Length of the edge of the cube is 3 cm.

Sol. False

Given, the length of the diagonal of a cube= 6 3 cm

Let the edge (side) of a cube be a cm.

Then, diagonal of a cube= a 3

Þ6 3 =a 3
Þ a = 6cm

Hence, the edge of a cube is 6 cm.

Q. 10 If the radius of a cylinder is doubled and height

is halved, the volume will be doubled.

Sol. True

Let the radius of a cylinder be rand height be h.

Then, volume of a cylinder, v1= p r 2 h

16
 NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths

If radius of a cylinder, R = 2r

= 2p r 2 h = 2 ´ V1

Hence, if the radius of a cylinder is doubled and height

of a cylinder is halved, then volume of a cylinder is
doubled.

the present depth of water is 1.3 m, then find the

volume of water already used from the tank.

Solution-

Let side of a cube be = x m

Volume of cubical tank = 15.625 m3

x3 = 15.625 m3

x=2.5 m

and present depth of water in cubical tank = 1.3 m

\ Height of water used = 2.5- 1.3 m = 1.2 m

Now, volume of water used= 1.2 x 2.5 x 2.5 = 7.5

36
 NCERT Exemplar Class 9 Maths

Since, 30 circular plates are placed one above the

another to form a cylindrical solid. Then, Height of the
cylindrical solid, h = Thickness of 30 circular plates =
90 cm

(i) Total surface area of the cylindrical solid so formed

22
= 2p r (h + r) = 2 ´ ´ 14(90 + 14)

= 44 ´ 2 ´ 104 = 9152cm2

Hence, the total surface area of the cylindrical solid is

9152 cm2.

(ii) Volume of the cylinder so formed = p r 2 h

22 22
= ´ (14)2 ´ 90 = ´ 14 ´ 14 ´ 90
