Important Concepts Of Mensuration And Questions For SSC And Railways


1. Cuboid
  • Volume of the cuboid = l × b × h
  • Lateral surface Area = Perimeter of Base × Height Base = 2(l + b) × h
  • Total surface area = Lateral surface Area + 2 × Area of base = 2 (lh + bh + lb)
  • Diagonal= √(l²+b²+h² )
  • V = √(A1×A2×A3)
A1 ⟹ Area of base or top = lb
A2 ⟹ Area of one side face  = bh    
A3 ⟹ Area of another side face = hl
  • To find the total surface area of a cuboid if the sum of all three sides and diagonals are given.
  • Total surface area= (sum of all three side)² – (Diagonal)²
  • For painting the surface area of a box or to know how much tin sheet is required, we will use, Total surface area.
  • To find the length of the longest pole to be placed is a room, we will calculate diagonal i.e. √(l²+b²+h² )

Q1. If the sum of three dimensions and the total surface area of the rectangular box are 12 cm and 94 cm² respectively, then the maximum length of the stick that can be placed in the box is? 

(a) 5√2 cm
(b) 5 cm
(c) 6 cm
(d) 2√5  cm

S1. Ans.(a)
Sol.
Maximum length of the stick that can be placed inside box=Diagonal of box
Total surface area = (sum of L + b + h)² – (Diagonal)²
94 = (12)² – (diagonal)²
(Diagonal)² = 144 – 94 = 50 

Q2. In a swimming pool measuring 90m by 40m, if the displacement of water by one man is 800 cm³, what will be the rise in water level if 150 men entered the swimming pool?

(a) 0.66 m
(b) 0.44 m
(c) 0.33 m
(d) 0.25 m

S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. Volume of water displaced by 150 men = Volume of water came out 
Let height raised in water = h cm 
800cm³ × 150 = 9000 cm × 4000 cm × h 
120 = 9 × 4000 × h
h=12/(9×400) cm 
h=1/300 cm
h=1/3 m=0.33m

2. Cube(घन)
  • Volume = (side)³ = a³
  • Lateral surface area = 4a²
  • Total surface area = 6a²
  • Diagonal of the cube= √3a
  • Face diagonal of the cube = √2 a
  • Volume of the cube = (√(total surface area)/6)³
  • In Radius of cube= a/2
  • Circumradius of cube = √3/2 a
Q1. Three cubes of volume 1 cm³, 216 cm³ and 512 cm³ are melted to form a new cube. Find the diagonal of the New cube?

(a) 15.6 cm
(b) 16.6 cm
(c) 17.6 cm
(d) 18.6 cm

S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. 
Volume of New cube 
= 1 cm² + 216 cm² + 512 cm³
= 729 cm³
a³ = 729 cm³
a = 9 cm 
Diagonal of New cube = √3a
= √3×a
=9√3 
= 9 × 1.7320
≅ 15.56 cm

Q2. The cost of painting the whole surface area of a cube at the rate of B paise per sq. cm is Rs. 343.98. Then the volume of the cube is?

(a) 9261cm³
(b) 9264cm³
(c) 10248cm³
(d) 13310cm³

S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. 
Cost of painting the whole surface = Rs. 343.98 = 34398 paise
Total surface area=34398/13=2646 cm²
Total surface area = cube = 6a²
6a² = 2646
a² = 441, a = 21 cm 
Volume of cube = a³
= (21)³ = 9261 cm³

3. Right circular cone
  • Slant height , l = √(r²+h² )
  • Volume = 1/3×area of base×height = 1/3  πr² h
  • Curved surface area= 1/2  (Perimeter of base) × slant height = 1/2  × 2πr×l=πrl=πr√(r²+h² )
  • Total surface area = C.S.A + Area of base = πrl+πr²=πr(l+r)
  • If cone is formed by sector of a circle then.(a) Slant height = radius of circle , (b) circumference of base of cone = length of arc of sector   
  • Radius of maximum size sphere in a cone =  (h × r)/(l + r)      [ r → radius of the cone , l →slant height of the cone , h→height of the cone)]
  • If cone is cut parallel to its base and ratio of heights, radius or slant height of both parts is given as →x∶y. ,Then Ratio of their volume = x³ ∶y³
Q1. 5 persons live in a tent. If each person requires 16 m² of floor area and 100 m³ space for air then the height of the cone of smallest size to accommodate these persons would be?

(a) 16 m
(b) 18.75 m
(c) 10.25 m
(d) 20 m

S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. Let the height of cone h meter
⇒ Total area of ground will be required
= 5 × 16 m²= 80 m²
⇒ Total volume of air is needed
= 100 × 5 m³ = 500 m³
⇒ volume of cone = 500 m³
⇒ 1/3 area of ground = 500
⇒ 1/3 × πr² × h = 500
=1/3×80×h = 500
⇒ height = (500 × 3)/80
⇒ height of cone = 18.75 metres

Q2. In a right circular cone, the radius of its base is 7 cm and its height 24 cm. A cross-section is made through the midpoint of the height parallel to the base. The volume of the upper portion is?

(a) 169 cm³
(b) 154 cm³
(c) 1078 cm³
(d) 800 cm³
