Latest Right Circular Cylinder MCQ Objective Questions

Right Circular Cylinder Question 1:

The volume of a solid cylinder is  5852 cm3 and its height is  38 cm. What is the total surface area of the solid cylinder? (Round your answer to the nearest integer) 
(Use \(\pi\) = \(\frac{22}{7}\))

  1. 1936 cm2
  2.  1969 cm2
  3. 1980 cm2
  4. 1954 cm2

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 1980 cm2

Right Circular Cylinder Question 1 Detailed Solution

Given:

Volume of cylinder (V) = 5852 cm3

Height of cylinder (h) = 38 cm

Value of \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)

Formula used:

Volume of a cylinder = \(\pi r^2 h\)

Total Surface Area of a solid cylinder = \(2\pi r(r + h)\)

Where r = radius

Calculations:

First, find the radius (r) using the volume formula:

V = \(\pi r^2 h\)

5852 = \(\frac{22}{7} \times r^2 \times 38\)

⇒ r2 = \(\frac{5852 \times 7}{22 \times 38}\)

⇒ r2 = \(\frac{40964}{836}\)

⇒ r2 = 49

⇒ r = \(\sqrt{49}\)

⇒ r = 7 cm

Now, calculate the Total Surface Area (TSA) of the cylinder:

TSA = \(2\pi r(r + h)\)

⇒ TSA = \(2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times (7 + 38)\)

⇒ TSA = \(2 \times 22 \times 45\)

⇒ TSA = \(44 \times 45\)

⇒ TSA = 1980 cm2

∴ The total surface area of the solid cylinder is 1980 cm2.

Right Circular Cylinder Question 2:

The length and breadth of a rectangle are in the ratio 9 : 5, respectively, and the perimeter of the rectangle is 280 cm. If the area of the rectangle is equal to the area of the top surface of a solid cylinder, then find the curved surface area of the cylinder given that its radius is 120% of its height.

  1. 8600 cm²
  2. 6900 cm²
  3. 7500 cm²
  4. 8200 cm²
  5. 9000 cm²

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 7500 cm²

Right Circular Cylinder Question 2 Detailed Solution

Find Length and Breadth of the Rectangle

Let length= 9x, breadth= 5x.

Perimeter = 2(9x + 5x) = 280

2(14x) = 280 ⟹ 28x = 280 ⟹ x = 10

Thus,

Length = 9x = 90 cm, Breadth = 5x = 50 cm

Area of rectangle = 90 × 50 = 4500 cm2.

The top surface of the cylinder is a circle with area πr2

Given:

πr2 = 4500 r2 = 4500π

Given: Radius r = 120% of height h, so:

r = 1.2h h = r / 1.2 = 5r / 6

Now, let's find the Curved Surface Area of Cylinder:

Curved surface area = 2πr

Substitute, h = 5r / 6:

CSA = 2πr(5r/6) = 10πr/ 6 = 5πr/ 3

Since πr2 = 4500:

CSA = 5 x 4500 / 3 = 7500 cm2

Thus, the correct answer is 7500 cm2.

Right Circular Cylinder Question 3:

If the radius of a cylinder is decreased by 50% and the height is increased by 50% to form a new cylinder, then the volume will be decreased by

  1. 0%
  2. 25%
  3. 62.5%
  4. 75%

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : 62.5%

Right Circular Cylinder Question 3 Detailed Solution

Given:

Original radius of the cylinder = r

Original height of the cylinder = h

New radius = 50% decrease = r - 0.5r = 0.5r

New height = 50% increase = h + 0.5h = 1.5h

Formula Used:

Volume of a cylinder = πr2h

Calculation:

Original volume = πr2h

New volume = π(0.5r)2(1.5h)

⇒ New volume = π(0.25r2)(1.5h)

⇒ New volume = 0.375πr2h

Decrease in volume = Original volume - New volume

⇒ Decrease = πr2h - 0.375πr2h

⇒ Decrease = (1 - 0.375)πr2h

⇒ Decrease = 0.625πr2h

Percentage decrease = (Decrease / Original volume) × 100

⇒ Percentage decrease = (0.625πr2h / πr2h) × 100

⇒ Percentage decrease = 0.625 × 100

⇒ Percentage decrease = 62.5%

The volume will be decreased by 62.5%.

Right Circular Cylinder Question 4:

A rectangular sheet of 31.4 cm x 10 cm size is rolled across its length to make a cylinder without overlap. What will be the approximate volume of the cylinder?

  1. 785 cm³
  2. 1570 cm³
  3. 3140 cm³
  4. 6280 cm³

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : 785 cm³

Right Circular Cylinder Question 4 Detailed Solution

Given:

Length of rectangular sheet = 31.4 cm

Breadth of rectangular sheet = 10 cm

Formula used:

Circumference of the base of the cylinder = Length of the sheet

Height of the cylinder = Breadth of the sheet

Volume of the cylinder = π × r2 × h

Where, r = radius of the base, h = height

Calculation:

Length of the sheet = Circumference of the base = 2πr

⇒ 31.4 = 2 × 3.14 × r

⇒ r = 31.4 / (2 × 3.14)

⇒ r = 5 cm

Height of the cylinder = Breadth of the sheet = 10 cm

Volume of the cylinder = π × r2 × h

⇒ Volume = 3.14 × (5)2 × 10

⇒ Volume = 3.14 × 25 × 10

⇒ Volume = 785 cm3

∴ The correct answer is option (1).

Right Circular Cylinder Question 5:

Radius of two cylinder is [r – 3] and [ r + 4] m respectively. Ratio of radius two cylinder is 1: 2. Height of cylinder is 7 and 14 m more than radius of cylinder respectively. Find the difference between the volume of two cylinder?

  1. 13025
  2. 15092
  3. 11592
  4. 14725
  5. 13265

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : 15092

Right Circular Cylinder Question 5 Detailed Solution

Calculation

So, [r – 3] / [r + 4] = 1 /2

Or, 2r – 6 = r + 4

r = 10

So, Radius of cylinder is 10 – 3 = 7 and 10 + 4 = = 14 respectively.

Height of cylinder is 14 and 28 respectively.

So, volume is cylinder = [22/7] × 14 × 7 × 7 = 2156

Volume of cylinder = [ 22/7] × 14 × 14 × 28 = 17248

So, difference is 17248 – 2156 = 15092

Height of the cylinder = 1 m 

Diameter = 140 cm = 1.4 m, so radius = 1.4/2 = 0.7 m

Concept used:

Total surface area of the cylinder = 2πrh + 2πr2

Calculation:

Total sheet required = 2πrh + 2πr2 = 2πr(h + r)

⇒ 2 × 22/7 × 0.7 × (1 + 0.7)

Right Circular Cylinder Question 7 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Given:

Volume ratio = 32 ∶ 9

Ratio of their heights is 8 ∶ 9

Area of the base of the second cylinder is 616 cm2

Concept Used:

Volume of cylinder = πr2h

Calculation:

Volume of the cylinder can be written as 32y and 9y

Height of the cylinder can be written as 8h and 9h

Since we know that the Volume of cylinder is Area of base × height

⇒ Volume of second cylinder = 616 × 9h

Let the radius of first cylinder be r

⇒ base area of first cylinder = πr2

Volume of first cylinder = πr2 × 8h

Their ratios can be written as

⇒ 616 × 9h/ (πr2 × 8h) = 9/32

Put π = 22/7

⇒  (22r2 × 8)/(616 × 9 × 7)/ = 32/9

⇒ r2 = (616 × 9 × 32 × 7)/(9 × 22 ×  8)

⇒ r = 28

∴ Radius of first cylinder is 28 cm.

Given:

The ratio between the height and radius of the base of a cylinder is 7 ∶ 5.

Volume is 14836.5 cm3 

Formula used:

Volume of cylinder = πr2h

TSA of cylinder = 2πr(r + h)

Calculation:

Let the height be 7x and radius be 5x

According to the question,

Volume = π (5x)2 × 7x

⇒ 14836.5 = (3.14)(25x2) × 7x

⇒ 14836.5 = (3.14)(25x2) × 7x

⇒ 175x3 = 14836.5/3.14

⇒ x3 = 4725/175

⇒ x3 = 27

⇒ x = 3

Now,

Radius = 5x =  5 × 3 = 15 cm

Height = 7x = 7 × 3 = 21 cm

For TSA of cylinder,

TSA = 2(3.14) × 15 × (15 + 21)

⇒ TSA = 6.28 × 15 × 36

⇒ TSA = 3391.2 cm2 

∴ The TSA of the cylinder is 3391.2 cm2.

Given:

Diameter of cylinder = 35 cm

Curved surface area = 3080 cm2

Formula used:

Radius = Diameter/2

Curved surface are of cylinder = 2πrh

Volume of cylinder = πr2h

where r = radius , h = height

Calculation: 

F1 Vinanti SSC 28.09.22 D4

Diameter (d) = 35 cm

⇒ Radius = d/2

⇒ 35/2

 ⇒Radius = 17.5

Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh = 3080

⇒ 2 × 22/7 × 17.5 × h = 3080

⇒ h = 28 cm

Now Volume of cylinder = πr2h

⇒ 22/7 × (17.5)2 × 28

⇒ 22 × 306.25 × 4

⇒ 26,950 cm3 

∴ Volume of cylinder is 26,950 cm3.

Right Circular Cylinder Question 10 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Given:

Sum of radius and height of the cylinder = 39 cm

Total surface area of the cylinder = 1716 cm2

Concept used:

Total surface area of a cylinder = 2πr(h + r)

Volume = πr2h

Here,

r = radius

h = height

Calculation:

Let the radius and the height of the cylinder be r and h,

According to the question,

2πr(h + r) = 1716      ----(i)

(h + r) = 39      ----(ii)

Putting the value of eq (ii) in eq (i) we get,

2πr × 39 = 1716

⇒ 2πr = 1716/39

⇒ 2πr = 44

⇒ πr = 22

⇒ r = 22 × (7/22)

⇒ r = 7

So, radius = 7 cm

Now, by putting the value of r in the eq (ii) we get

h + 7 = 39

⇒ h = 32

So, height = 32 cm

Now, volume = (22/7) × 72 × 32

⇒ 22 × 7 × 32

⇒ 4928

So, volume of the cylinder = 4928 cm3

∴ The volume (in cm3) of the cylinder i 4928.
