\displaystyle \textbf{Question 1: }\text{Find the volume, total surface area and lateral surface area of a}
\displaystyle \text{rectangular solid having:}
\displaystyle \text{(i) length }=8.5\text{ m, breadth }=6.4\text{ m and height }=50\text{ cm.}
\displaystyle \text{(ii) length }=5.6\text{ dm, breadth }=22.5\text{ dm and height }=1\text{ m.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:} \displaystyle \text{(i) Length }(l)=8.5\text{ m, Breadth }(b)=6.4\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Height }(h)=50\text{ cm}=0.5\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{(a) Volume}=lbh
\displaystyle =8.5\times6.4\times0.5
\displaystyle =27.2\text{ m}^3
\displaystyle \text{(b) Total surface area}=2(lb+bh+hl)
\displaystyle =2[(8.5\times6.4)+(6.4\times0.5)+(0.5\times8.5)]
\displaystyle =2[54.4+3.2+4.25]
\displaystyle =2\times61.85=123.7\text{ m}^2
\displaystyle \text{(c) Lateral surface area}=2(l+b)h
\displaystyle =2(8.5+6.4)\times0.5
\displaystyle =2\times14.9\times0.5=14.9\text{ m}^2

\displaystyle \text{(ii) Length }(l)=5.6\text{ dm, Breadth }(b)=22.5\text{ dm}
\displaystyle \text{Height }(h)=1\text{ m}=10\text{ dm}
\displaystyle \text{(a) Volume}=lbh
\displaystyle =5.6\times22.5\times10
\displaystyle =1260\text{ dm}^3
\displaystyle \text{(b) Total surface area}=2(lb+bh+hl)
\displaystyle =2[(5.6\times22.5)+(22.5\times10)+(10\times5.6)]
\displaystyle =2[126+225+56]
\displaystyle =2\times407=814\text{ dm}^2
\displaystyle \text{(c) Lateral surface area}=2(l+b)h
\displaystyle =2(5.6+22.5)\times10
\displaystyle =2\times28.1\times10=562\text{ dm}^2
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 2: }\text{The volume of a rectangular wall is }33\text{ m}^3.\text{ If its length is }16.5\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{and height is }8\text{ m, find the width of the wall.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Volume of rectangular wall}=33\text{ m}^3
\displaystyle \text{Length of wall }(l)=16.5\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Height of wall }(h)=8\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Let the width of the wall}=b\text{ m.}
\displaystyle \text{Volume}=l\times b\times h
\displaystyle 16.5\times b\times8=33
\displaystyle b=\frac{33}{16.5\times8}=\frac{33}{132}=0.25\text{ m}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The width of the wall is }0.25\text{ m.}
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 3: }\text{Find the number of bricks, each measuring }
\displaystyle 25\text{ cm}\times12.5\text{ cm}\times7.5\text{ cm,} \ \text{required to construct a wall }6\text{ m long, }5\text{ m high and}
\displaystyle \text{50 cm thick, while the cement and sand mixture occupies }\frac{1}{20}\text{ of the volume of the wall.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Volume of one brick}=25\times12.5\times7.5\text{ cm}^3
\displaystyle =\frac{25}{100}\times\frac{12.5}{100}\times\frac{7.5}{100}\text{ m}^3
\displaystyle =\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{1}{8}\times\frac{3}{40}=\frac{3}{1280}\text{ m}^3
\displaystyle \text{Length of wall }(l)=6\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Height of wall }(h)=5\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Thickness of wall }(b)=50\text{ cm}=0.5\text{ m}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{Volume of wall}=lbh=6\times5\times0.5=15\text{ m}^3
\displaystyle \text{Volume occupied by cement and sand}=\frac{1}{20}\times15=\frac{3}{4}\text{ m}^3
\displaystyle \therefore \text{Volume occupied by bricks}=15-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{57}{4}\text{ m}^3
\displaystyle \text{Number of bricks}=\frac{\text{Volume occupied by bricks}}{\text{Volume of one brick}}
\displaystyle =\frac{57}{4}\div\frac{3}{1280}
\displaystyle =\frac{57}{4}\times\frac{1280}{3}=19\times320=6080
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The number of bricks required is }6080.

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 4: }\text{A classroom is }12.5\text{ m long, }6.4\text{ m broad and }5\text{ m high. How many students}
\displaystyle \text{can be accommodated if each student needs }1.6\text{ m}^2\text{ of floor area? How many cubic}
\displaystyle \text{metres of air would each student get?}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Length of room }(l)=12.5\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Breadth of room }(b)=6.4\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Height of room }(h)=5\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Volume of air inside the room}=lbh
\displaystyle =12.5\times6.4\times5=400\text{ m}^3
\displaystyle \text{Area of floor}=l\times b=12.5\times6.4=80\text{ m}^2
\displaystyle \text{Floor area required by each student}=1.6\text{ m}^2
\displaystyle \therefore \text{Number of students}=\frac{80}{1.6}=50
\displaystyle \text{Air available to each student}=\frac{\text{Volume of air}}{\text{Number of students}}
\displaystyle =\frac{400}{50}=8\text{ m}^3
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The room can accommodate }50\text{ students and each student gets }8\text{ m}^3\text{ of air.}
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 5: }\text{Find the length of the longest rod that can be placed in a room measuring}
\displaystyle 12\text{ m}\times9\text{ m}\times8\text{ m.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Length of room }(l)=12\text{ m, Breadth }(b)=9\text{ m, Height }(h)=8\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{The longest rod that can be placed in the room is its space diagonal.}
\displaystyle \text{Length of rod}=\sqrt{l^2+b^2+h^2}
\displaystyle =\sqrt{12^2+9^2+8^2}
\displaystyle =\sqrt{144+81+64}
\displaystyle =\sqrt{289}=17\text{ m}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The length of the longest rod is }17\text{ m.}
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 6: }\text{The volume of a cuboid is }14400\text{ cm}^3\text{ and its height is }15\text{ cm. The cross-section}
\displaystyle \text{of the cuboid is a rectangle having its sides in the ratio }5:3.\text{ Find the perimeter}
\displaystyle \text{of the cross-section.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Volume of cuboid}=14400\text{ cm}^3
\displaystyle \text{Height }(h)=15\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Area of cross-section}=\frac{\text{Volume}}{\text{Height}}
\displaystyle =\frac{14400}{15}=960\text{ cm}^2
\displaystyle \text{Ratio of the sides of the cross-section}=5:3
\displaystyle \text{Let the length}=5x\text{ cm and breadth}=3x\text{ cm.}
\displaystyle 5x\times3x=960
\displaystyle 15x^2=960
\displaystyle x^2=64
\displaystyle x=8
\displaystyle \therefore \text{Length}=5\times8=40\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Breadth}=3\times8=24\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Perimeter of cross-section}=2(l+b)
\displaystyle =2(40+24)=128\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The perimeter of the cross-section is }128\text{ cm.}
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 7: }\text{The area of a path is }6500\text{ m}^2.\text{ Find the cost of covering it with gravel }14\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{deep at the rate of Rs. }5.60\text{ per cubic metre.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Area of path}=6500\text{ m}^2
\displaystyle \text{Depth of gravel}=14\text{ cm}=\frac{14}{100}\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Volume of gravel}=\text{Area}\times\text{Depth}
\displaystyle =6500\times\frac{14}{100}=910\text{ m}^3
\displaystyle \text{Rate of covering with gravel}=\text{Rs. }5.60\text{ per m}^3
\displaystyle \text{Total cost}=910\times5.60=\text{Rs. }5096
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The cost of covering the path with gravel is Rs. }5096.
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 8: }\text{The cost of papering the four walls of a room }12\text{ m long at Rs. }6.50\text{ per}
\displaystyle \text{square metre is Rs. }1638\text{ and the cost of matting the floor at Rs. }3.50\text{ per square}
\displaystyle \text{metre is Rs. }378.\text{ Find the height of the room.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Rate of papering the walls}=\text{Rs. }6.50\text{ per m}^2
\displaystyle \text{Cost of papering the four walls}=\text{Rs. }1638
\displaystyle \therefore \text{Area of four walls}=\frac{1638}{6.50}=252\text{ m}^2
\displaystyle \text{Rate of matting the floor}=\text{Rs. }3.50\text{ per m}^2
\displaystyle \text{Cost of matting the floor}=\text{Rs. }378
\displaystyle \therefore \text{Area of floor}=\frac{378}{3.50}=108\text{ m}^2
\displaystyle \text{Length of room}=12\text{ m}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{Breadth of room}=\frac{\text{Area of floor}}{\text{Length}}=\frac{108}{12}=9\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Area of four walls}=2(l+b)h
\displaystyle 2(12+9)h=252
\displaystyle 42h=252
\displaystyle h=6\text{ m}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The height of the room is }6\text{ m.}
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 9: }\text{The dimensions of a field are }15\text{ m}\times12\text{ m. A pit }7.5\text{ m}\times6\text{ m}
\displaystyle \times1.5\text{ m} \text{ is dug in one corner of the field and the earth removed from it is evenly spread}
\displaystyle \text{over the remaining area of the field. Calculate by how much the level of the field is raised.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}

\displaystyle \text{Length of field}=15\text{ m, Breadth of field}=12\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Area of field}=15\times12=180\text{ m}^2
\displaystyle \text{Length of pit}=7.5\text{ m, Breadth of pit}=6\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Depth of pit}=1.5\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Area of pit}=7.5\times6=45\text{ m}^2
\displaystyle \text{Volume of earth removed}=7.5\times6\times1.5=67.5\text{ m}^3
\displaystyle \text{Area over which the earth is spread}=180-45=135\text{ m}^2
\displaystyle \text{Let the rise in the level of the field}=h\text{ m.}
\displaystyle 135h=67.5
\displaystyle h=\frac{67.5}{135}=0.5\text{ m}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The level of the field is raised by }0.5\text{ m.}
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 10: }\text{The sum of length, breadth and depth of a cuboid is }19\text{ cm, and the length}
\displaystyle \text{of its diagonal is }11\text{ cm. Find the surface area of the cuboid.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Let }l,b\text{ and }h\text{ be the length, breadth and depth of the cuboid.}
\displaystyle l+b+h=19\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \sqrt{l^2+b^2+h^2}=11\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \therefore l^2+b^2+h^2=121
\displaystyle (l+b+h)^2=l^2+b^2+h^2+2(lb+bh+hl)
\displaystyle 19^2=121+2(lb+bh+hl)
\displaystyle 361=121+2(lb+bh+hl)
\displaystyle 2(lb+bh+hl)=240
\displaystyle \therefore \text{Surface area of the cuboid}=240\text{ cm}^2
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 11: }\text{Three cubes, each of side }6\text{ cm, are joined end to end. Find the surface area}
\displaystyle \text{of the resulting cuboid.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Side of each cube}=6\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Length of the resulting cuboid}=6\times3=18\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Breadth}=6\text{ cm, Height}=6\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Surface area of cuboid}=2(lb+bh+hl)
\displaystyle =2[(18\times6)+(6\times6)+(6\times18)]
\displaystyle =2(108+36+108)
\displaystyle =2\times252=504\text{ cm}^2
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The surface area of the resulting cuboid is }504\text{ cm}^2.

\displaystyle \text{(i) Volume}=a^3=10^3=1000\text{ cm}^3

\displaystyle \text{(ii) Total surface area}=6a^2
\displaystyle =6\times10^2=600\text{ cm}^2

\displaystyle \text{(iii) Lateral surface area}=4a^2
\displaystyle =4\times10^2=400\text{ cm}^2

\displaystyle \text{is }5\text{ mm.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Surface area of cube}=1536\text{ cm}^2

\displaystyle \text{(i) Let the edge of the cube}=a\text{ cm.}
\displaystyle 6a^2=1536
\displaystyle a^2=\frac{1536}{6}=256
\displaystyle a=16\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The length of its edge is }16\text{ cm.}

\displaystyle \text{(ii) Volume of cube}=a^3=16^3=4096\text{ cm}^3

\displaystyle \text{(iii) Thickness of material}=5\text{ mm}=0.5\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Inner side}=16-2(0.5)=15\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Volume of material}=16^3-15^3
\displaystyle =4096-3375=721\text{ cm}^3
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The volume of the material is }721\text{ cm}^3.

\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Volume of each cube}=512\text{ cm}^3
\displaystyle \text{Let the side of each cube}=a\text{ cm.}
\displaystyle a^3=512=8^3
\displaystyle \therefore a=8\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Length of the resulting cuboid}=8+8=16\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Breadth}=8\text{ cm, Height}=8\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Surface area of cuboid}=2(lb+bh+hl)
\displaystyle =2[(16\times8)+(8\times8)+(8\times16)]
\displaystyle =2(128+64+128)
\displaystyle =2\times320=640\text{ cm}^2
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The surface area of the resulting cuboid is }640\text{ cm}^2.

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 15: }\text{(i) How many cubic centimetres of iron are there in an open box whose external}
\displaystyle \text{dimensions are }36\text{ cm, }25\text{ cm and }16.5\text{ cm, the iron being }1.5\text{ cm thick throughout?}
\displaystyle \text{(ii) If }1\text{ cm}^3\text{ of iron weighs }15\text{ g, find the weight of the empty box in kg.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{External length}=36\text{ cm, External breadth}=25\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{External height}=16.5\text{ cm, Thickness}=1.5\text{ cm}

\displaystyle \text{(i) Inner length}=36-2(1.5)=33\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Inner breadth}=25-2(1.5)=22\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Inner height}=16.5-1.5=15\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Volume of iron}=\text{Volume of outer box}-\text{Volume of inner box}
\displaystyle =(36\times25\times16.5)-(33\times22\times15)
\displaystyle =14850-10890=3960\text{ cm}^3
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The volume of iron is }3960\text{ cm}^3.

\displaystyle \text{(ii) Weight of }1\text{ cm}^3\text{ of iron}=15\text{ g}
\displaystyle \text{Weight of the box}=3960\times15=59400\text{ g}
\displaystyle =\frac{59400}{1000}=59.4\text{ kg}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The weight of the empty box is }59.4\text{ kg.}

\displaystyle \text{Volume of the second smaller cube}=8^3=512\text{ cm}^3
\displaystyle \text{Volume of the third smaller cube}=1728-(216+512)
\displaystyle =1728-728=1000\text{ cm}^3
\displaystyle \text{Edge of the third smaller cube}=\sqrt[3]{1000}=10\text{ cm}

\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Volume of the metallic cuboid}=100\times80\times64
\displaystyle =512000\text{ cm}^3
\displaystyle \text{Since the metal is recast, volume of the cube}=512000\text{ cm}^3

\displaystyle \text{(i) Let the edge of the cube}=a\text{ cm.}
\displaystyle a^3=512000=80^3
\displaystyle \therefore a=80\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The edge of the cube is }80\text{ cm.}

\displaystyle \text{(ii) Surface area of the cube}=6a^2
\displaystyle =6\times80^2=6\times6400=38400\text{ cm}^2

\displaystyle \text{(i) Let the side of the cube}=a\text{ cm.}
\displaystyle \text{Diagonal of the cube}=a\sqrt{3}\text{ cm}
\displaystyle (a\sqrt{3})^2=1875
\displaystyle 3a^2=1875
\displaystyle a^2=\frac{1875}{3}=625
\displaystyle a=25\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The side of the cube is }25\text{ cm.}

\displaystyle \text{(ii) Total surface area of the cube}=6a^2
\displaystyle =6\times25^2=6\times625=3750\text{ cm}^2

\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Length of tank}=150\text{ m, Breadth}=100\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Depth of water}=7\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Volume of water required}=150\times100\times7
\displaystyle =105000\text{ m}^3
\displaystyle \text{Cross-section of pipe}=5\text{ dm}\times3.5\text{ dm}
\displaystyle =0.5\text{ m}\times0.35\text{ m}=0.175\text{ m}^2
\displaystyle \text{Length of water column}=\frac{\text{Volume of water}}{\text{Area of cross-section}}
\displaystyle =\frac{105000}{0.175}=600000\text{ m}
\displaystyle =600\text{ km}
\displaystyle \text{Speed of water flow}=15\text{ km/hr}
\displaystyle \text{Time taken}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}=\frac{600}{15}=40\text{ hr}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The required time is }40\text{ hours.}
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 22: }\text{A rectangular tank is }25\text{ m long and }7.5\text{ m deep. If }540\text{ m}^3\text{ of water is drawn}
\displaystyle \text{off the tank, the level of water in the tank goes down by }1.8\text{ m. Calculate:}
\displaystyle \text{(i) the width of the tank, (ii) the capacity of the tank.}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Length of tank}=25\text{ m, Depth}=7.5\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Volume of water drawn off}=540\text{ m}^3
\displaystyle \text{Fall in water level}=1.8\text{ m}

\displaystyle \text{(i) Let the width of the tank}=b\text{ m.}
\displaystyle 25\times b\times1.8=540
\displaystyle b=\frac{540}{25\times1.8}=12\text{ m}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The width of the tank is }12\text{ m.}

\displaystyle \text{(ii) Capacity of the tank}=lbh
\displaystyle =25\times12\times7.5
\displaystyle =2250\text{ m}^3

\displaystyle \text{many litres of water will fill the pool?} \displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Length of swimming pool}=30\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Breadth of swimming pool}=12\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Depths at the two ends}=1.5\text{ m and }3.5\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Area of longitudinal cross-section}=\frac{1}{2}(1.5+3.5)\times30
\displaystyle =\frac{1}{2}\times5\times30=75\text{ m}^2
\displaystyle \text{Volume of water}=75\times12=900\text{ m}^3
\displaystyle 1\text{ m}^3=1000\text{ litres}
\displaystyle \therefore 900\text{ m}^3=900\times1000=900000\text{ litres}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The swimming pool will hold }900000\text{ litres of water.}

\displaystyle CF=AB=13\text{ cm}
\displaystyle AF=CB=8\text{ cm}
\displaystyle EF=EA-FA=12-8=4\text{ cm}

\displaystyle \text{(i) Area of cross-section}=\text{Area of rectangle }ABCF+\text{Area of trapezium }FCDE
\displaystyle =(13\times8)+\frac{1}{2}(13+16)\times4
\displaystyle =104+\frac{1}{2}\times29\times4
\displaystyle =104+58=162\text{ cm}^2
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The area of the cross-section is }162\text{ cm}^2.

\displaystyle \text{(ii) Length of the metal piece}=2\text{ m}=200\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Volume of the metal piece}=\text{Area of cross-section}\times\text{Length}
\displaystyle =162\times200=32400\text{ cm}^3
\displaystyle =\frac{32400}{1000000}\text{ m}^3=0.0324\text{ m}^3
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The volume of the metal piece is }32400\text{ cm}^3\text{ or }0.0324\text{ m}^3.

\displaystyle \text{(iii) Weight of }1\text{ cm}^3\text{ of metal}=6.5\text{ g}
\displaystyle \text{Weight of the metal piece}=32400\times6.5

\displaystyle \text{Width at the bottom}=1.9\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Width at the top}=90\text{ cm}=0.9\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Height}=5\text{ m}

\displaystyle \text{(i) The cross-section is in the form of a trapezium.}
\displaystyle \text{Area of cross-section}=\frac{1}{2}(1.9+0.9)\times5
\displaystyle =\frac{1}{2}\times2.8\times5=7\text{ m}^2
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The cross-sectional area is }7\text{ m}^2.

\displaystyle \text{(ii) Length of the wall}=20\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Volume of concrete}=\text{Area of cross-section}\times\text{Length}

\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Side of square plate}=x\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Thickness}=1\text{ mm}=0.1\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Weight of the plate}=5.44\text{ kg}=5440\text{ g}
\displaystyle \text{Weight of }1\text{ cm}^3\text{ of brass}=8.5\text{ g}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{Volume of the plate}=\frac{5440}{8.5}=640\text{ cm}^3
\displaystyle x\times x\times0.1=640
\displaystyle \frac{x^2}{10}=640
\displaystyle x^2=6400
\displaystyle x=\sqrt{6400}=80\text{ cm}

\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Area of cross-section of pipe}=5.4\text{ cm}^2
\displaystyle \text{Speed of water}=27\text{ km/hr}
\displaystyle \text{Time}=1\text{ minute}=\frac{1}{60}\text{ hr}
\displaystyle \text{Length of water column}=27\times\frac{1}{60}\text{ km}
\displaystyle =0.45\text{ km}=450\text{ m}
\displaystyle 5.4\text{ cm}^2=\frac{5.4}{10000}\text{ m}^2
\displaystyle \text{Volume of water}=\text{Area of cross-section}\times\text{Length}
\displaystyle =\frac{5.4}{10000}\times450=0.243\text{ m}^3
\displaystyle 1\text{ m}^3=1000\text{ litres}
\displaystyle \therefore 0.243\text{ m}^3=0.243\times1000=243\text{ litres}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The volume of water flowing out in }1\text{ minute is }243\text{ litres.}

\displaystyle \text{The solid can be divided into two cuboids of dimensions}
\displaystyle 4\text{ cm}\times6\text{ cm}\times3\text{ cm and }4\text{ cm}\times3\text{ cm}\times9\text{ cm.}
\displaystyle \text{Volume of the solid}=(4\times6\times3)+(4\times3\times9)

\displaystyle AB=8\text{ m, }DC=6\text{ m, Height}=2.4\text{ m, Length}=40\text{ m}

\displaystyle \text{(i) Area of floor}=8\times40=320\text{ m}^2
\displaystyle \text{Cost of paving}=\text{Rs. }16\times320=\text{Rs. }5120
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The cost of paving the floor is Rs. }5120.

\displaystyle \text{(ii) }AL=BM=\frac{AB-DC}{2}=\frac{8-6}{2}=1\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{In right-angled }\triangle ADL,
\displaystyle AD^2=AL^2+DL^2
\displaystyle =1^2+2.4^2=1+5.76=6.76
\displaystyle \therefore AD=\sqrt{6.76}=2.6\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Similarly, }BC=2.6\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Internal surface area excluding floor}=(AD+DC+BC)\times40
\displaystyle =(2.6+6+2.6)\times40
\displaystyle =11.2\times40=448\text{ m}^2
\displaystyle \text{Cost of painting}=\text{Rs. }5\times448=\text{Rs. }2240

\displaystyle \text{Speed of water}=8\text{ m/s}
\displaystyle \text{Time}=30\text{ minutes}=30\times60=1800\text{ seconds}
\displaystyle \text{Length of water column}=8\times1800=14400\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Volume of water}=\pi r^2l
\displaystyle =\frac{22}{7}\times\frac{1}{100}\times\frac{1}{100}\times14400
\displaystyle =\frac{144\times22}{700}\text{ m}^3
\displaystyle \text{Radius of cylindrical tank}=40\text{ cm}=\frac{2}{5}\text{ m}

\displaystyle \therefore \text{Internal radius }(r)=5\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Thickness of metal}=5\text{ mm}=0.5\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{Outer radius }(R)=5+0.5=5.5\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Length of pipe }(h)=24\text{ cm}
\displaystyle \text{Volume of metal}=\pi h(R^2-r^2)

\displaystyle \text{Answer:} \displaystyle \text{Inside diameter of well}=10\text{ m}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{Radius of well }(r)=5\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Depth of well}=8.4\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Volume of earth dug out}=\pi r^2h
\displaystyle =\frac{22}{7}\times5\times5\times8.4
\displaystyle =660\text{ m}^3
\displaystyle \text{Width of embankment}=7.5\text{ m}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{Outer radius }(R)=5+7.5=12.5\text{ m}
\displaystyle \text{Let the height of the embankment}=h_1\text{ m.}
\displaystyle \text{Volume of embankment}=\pi h_1(R^2-r^2)
\displaystyle =\frac{22}{7}\times h_1\left[(12.5)^2-5^2\right]
\displaystyle =\frac{22}{7}\times h_1(12.5+5)(12.5-5)
\displaystyle =660
\displaystyle h_1=\frac{660\times7}{22\times17.5\times7.5}=1.6\text{ m}
\displaystyle \therefore \text{The height of the embankment is }1.6\text{ m.}
