(A) $4.2 ~cm$

(B) $2.1 ~cm$

(C) $2.4 ~cm$

(D) $1.6 ~cm$

Show Answer

Solution

The formula of volume of the cone is $\dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$.

So, $\dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h=\dfrac{1}{3} \pi(2.1)^{2} \times 8.4$

Now, volume of sphere $=\dfrac{4}{3} \pi r_1^{3}$

According to the question,

$\dfrac{4}{3} \pi r_1^{3}=\dfrac{1}{3} \pi(2.1)^{2} \times 8.4$

$4 r_1^{3}=(2.1)^{2} \times 8.4$

$r_1^{3}=\dfrac{(2.1)^{2} \times 8.4}{4}$

$r_1^{3}=(2.1)^{2} \times 2.1$

$r_1^{3}=(2.1)^{3}$

$r_1=2.1$

Hence, the correct option is (B).

Short Answer Questions with Reasoning

Write True or False and justify your answer in each of the following:

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.

Show Answer

Solution

We consider the radius of the sphere be $r$.

Given in the question, that height and diameter of cylinder are equal to the diameter of sphere.

Therefore, the radius of cylinder is $r$ and its height be $2 r$.

As, volume of sphere $=\dfrac{2}{3}$ Volume of cylinder

$ \begin{aligned} \dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} & =\dfrac{2}{3}(\pi r^{2} \times 2 r) \\ & =\dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \end{aligned} $

Hence, the given statement is true.

2. If the radius of a right circular cone is halved and height is doubled, the volume will remain unchanged.

Show Answer

Solution

We consider the original radius of the cone be $r$ and height ne $h$.

The volume of cone $=\dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$

As we know that the radius of a height circular cone is halved and height is doubled. So,

$V=\dfrac{1}{3} \pi(\dfrac{r}{2})^{2} \times 2 h$

$ \begin{aligned} & =\dfrac{1}{3} \pi \times \dfrac{r^{2}}{4} \times 2 h \\ & =\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h) \end{aligned} $

Since, the volume become half of the original volume.

Hence, the given statement is false.

3. In a right circular cone, height, radius and slant height do not always be sides of a right triangle.

Show Answer

Solution

We consider that in a right circle cone, height (h), radius (r), and slant height(l) are always the sides of a right triangle that is $l^{2}=r^{2}+h^{2}$.

Hence, the given statement is false.

4. If the radius of a cylinder is doubled and its curved surface area is not changed, the height must be halved.

Show Answer

Solution

We consider that radius and height of the cylinder be $r$ and $h$ respectively.

So, the curved surface area of cylinder $=2 \pi r h$

Now, according to the question, when radius is doubled and the curved surface area is not changed that means the height must be halved. So,

The formula of curved surface area $=2 \pi \times(2 r) \times \dfrac{h}{2}=2 \pi r h$

Hence, the given statement is true.

5. The volume of the largest right circular cone that can be fitted in a cube whose edge is $2 r$ equals to the volume of a hemisphere of radius $r$.

Show Answer

Solution

Given in the question, edge of cube $=2 r$, then height of cube becomes $h=2 r$.

The formula of volume of a cone $=\dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$

$=\dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}(2 r)$

$=\dfrac{2}{3} \pi r^{3}$

The formula of volume of a hemisphere $=\dfrac{2}{3} \pi r^{3}$

Therefore, the volume of a cone is equal to the volume of a hemisphere.

Hence, the given statement is true.

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.

Show Answer

Solution

We consider that the radius of the base of a cylinder and a right circular cone be $r$ and height be h. So,

The formula of volume of a cylinder $=\pi r^{2} h$

The formula of volume of a cone $=\dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$

Since, Volume of a cylinder $=3 \times$ Volume of a cone

Therefore, the volume of a cylinder is three times the volume of the right circular cone.

Hence, the given statement is true.

7. A cone, a hemisphere and a cylinder stand on equal bases and have the same height. The ratio of their volumes is $1: 2: 3$.

Show Answer

Solution

Let radius of hemisphere is $r$.

The formula of volume of a cone, $=V_1=\dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$

$ \begin{aligned} V_1 & =\dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}(r) \quad[\text{ As } h=r] \\ & =\dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^{3} \end{aligned} $

Volume of a hemisphere, $V_2=\dfrac{2}{3} \pi r^{3}$

volume of cylinder, $V_3=\pi r^{2} h=\pi r^{2} \times r=\pi r^{3}[$ As h $=r]$

$V_1: V_2: V_3=\dfrac{1}{2} \pi r^{3}: \dfrac{2}{3} \pi r^{3}: \pi r^{3}=1: 2: 3$

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

Hence, the given statement is true.

8. If the length of the diagonal of a cube is $6 \sqrt{3} ~cm$, then the length of the edge of the cube is $3 ~cm$.

Show Answer

Solution

Given, the length of the diagonal of a cube $=6 \sqrt{3} ~cm$

we consider the edge (side) of a cube be a ~cm.

So, diagonal of a cube $=a \sqrt{3}$

$6 \sqrt{3}=a \sqrt{3}$

$a=6 ~cm$

Therefore, the edge of a cube is $6 ~cm$.

Hence, the given statement is false.

9. If a sphere is inscribed in a cube, then the ratio of the volume of the cube to the volume of the sphere will be $6: \pi$.

Show Answer

Solution

We consider a be the edge of the cube.

As the sphere is inscribed in a cube, the radius of the sphere is $\dfrac{a}{2}$.

$V_1=$ Volume of cube $=(\text{ edge })^{3}=a^{3}$ $V_2=$ Volume of sphere $=\dfrac{4}{3} \pi(\dfrac{a}{2})^{3}=\dfrac{1}{3} \pi a^{3}$

$V_1: V_2=a^{3}: \dfrac{1}{3} \pi a^{3}=1: \dfrac{\pi}{6}=6: \pi$

Hence, the given statement is true.

10. If the radius of a cylinder is doubled and height is halved, the volume will be doubled.

Show Answer

Solution

Let the cylinder have radius $r$ and height $h$.

So, the volume of cylinder $(V_1)=\pi r^{2} h$

According to the question, when radius of cylinder is doubled and height is halved $(V_2)$. So,

$ \begin{aligned} V_2 & =\pi(2 r)^{2} \times \dfrac{h}{2} \\ & =\pi \times 4 r^{2} \times \dfrac{h}{2} \\ & =\pi \times 2 r^{2} \times h \\ & =2 \pi r^{2} h \\ & =2 V_1 \end{aligned} $

Hence, the given statement is true.

Show Answer

Solution

Given, radius of each metal sphere $=2 ~cm$

So, volume of a metallic sphere $=\dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

$ \begin{aligned} & =\dfrac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times(2 ~cm)^{3} \\ & =\dfrac{100.48}{3} ~cm^{3} \\ & =33.49 ~cm^{3} \end{aligned} $

Now, the volume of 16 such a sphere $=16 \times 33.49 ~cm^{3}=535.84 ~cm^{3}$

Dimensions of internal box is $16 ~cm \times 8 ~cm \times 8 ~cm$.

Now, internal volume of a rectangular box $=16 ~cm \times 8 ~cm \times 8 ~cm=1024 ~cm^{3}$

Volume of the preservative liquid $=1024 ~cm^{3}-535.84 ~cm^{3}=488.16 ~cm^{3}$

2. A storage tank is in the form of a cube. When it is full of water, the volume of water is $15.625 m^{3}$.If the present depth of water is $1.3 m$, find the volume of water already used from the tank.

Show Answer

Solution

Suppose the edge of the cube is a.

So, the volume of cube $=a^{3}$

Now, the volume of water when the cube is full of water is $15.625 m^{3}$.

According to the question,

$ \begin{aligned} a^{3} & =15.625 m^{3} \\ a & =\sqrt[3]{15.625 m^{3}} \\ & =\sqrt[3]{(2.5)^{3} m^{3}} \\ & =2.5 m \end{aligned} $

So, edge of cube $=2.5 ~cm$

Now, present depth of water in the tank $=1.3 m \quad$ [Given]

So, remaining depth $=2.5 m-1.3 m=1.2 m$

Therefore, Volume of water already used in the tank $=2.5 m \times 2.5 m \times 1.2 m=7.5 m^{3}$

3. Find the amount of water displaced by a solid spherical ball of diameter $4.2 ~cm$, when it is completely immersed in water.

Show Answer

Solution

Given: Diameter of spherical ball $=4.2 ~cm$

Now, radius of spherical ball $(r)=\dfrac{4.2}{2} ~cm=2.1 ~cm$

Amount of water displaced by solid spherical ball $=$ Volume of solid spherical ball

So, volume of spherical ball $=\dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}=\dfrac{4}{3} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times(2.1)^{3}$

$ =\dfrac{88}{21} \times \dfrac{21}{10} \times \dfrac{21}{10} \times \dfrac{21}{10}=38.808 ~cm^{3} $

Therefore, the amount of water displaced by solid spherical ball when it completely immersed in water is $38.808 ~cm^{3}$.

4. How many square metres of canvas is required for a conical tent whose height is $3.5 m$ and the radius of the base is $12 m$ ?

Show Answer

Solution

Given: Height is $h=3.5 m$ and the radius of the base is $r=12 m$.

Now, Slant height $(l)$ will be:

$ \begin{aligned} \sqrt{h^{2}+r^{2}} & =\sqrt{(3.5 m)^{2}+(12 m)^{2}} \\ & =\sqrt{12.25 m^{2}+144 m^{2}} \\ & =\sqrt{156.25 m^{2}} \\ & =12.5 m \end{aligned} $

So, area of canvas required:

$=\pi r l$

$=\dfrac{22}{7} \times 12 m \times 12.5 m$

$=471.42 m^{2}$

5. Two solid spheres made of the same metal have weights $5920 g$ and $\mathbf{7 4 0}$ $g$, respectively. Determine the radius of the larger sphere, if the diameter of the smaller one is $5 ~cm$.

Show Answer

Solution

Let weight of one solid sphere is $m_1=5920 g$ and its radius is $r_1$. Similarly, weight of another solid sphere is $m_2=740 g$ and its radius is $r_2$.

Now, diameter of the smaller sphere: $r_1=5 m$

So, it’s radius $=r_2=\dfrac{5}{2}$

As we know that:

Density $(D)=\dfrac{\text{ Mass }}{\text{ Volume }}$ or Volume $=\dfrac{\text{ Mass }}{\text{ Density }}$

Then,

$V_1=\dfrac{5920}{D} ~cm^{3}$

And: $V_2=\dfrac{740}{D} ~cm^{3}$

Now, dividing equation, (I) and (II), get:

$\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{5920}{D} ~cm^{3}}{\dfrac{740}{D} ~cm^{3}}$

$\dfrac{\dfrac{4}{3} \pi r_1^{3}}{\dfrac{4}{3} \pi r_2^{3}}=\dfrac{5920}{740}$ [Volume of a sphere is $\dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$ ]

$\dfrac{r_1^{3}}{r_2^{3}}=\dfrac{592}{74}$

$(\dfrac{r_1}{\dfrac{5}{2}})^{3}=\dfrac{592}{74}$

$r_1^{3}=\dfrac{592}{74} \times \dfrac{125}{8}$

$=\dfrac{74000}{592}$

$=125$

$r_1^{3}=125$

$r_1=5 ~cm$

Hence, the radius of larger sphere is $5 ~cm$.

Glass is filled with milk upto an height of $12 ~cm$.

Radius of cylinder glass $=\dfrac{\text{ Diameter }}{2}=\dfrac{7}{2}=3.5 ~cm$

Volume of cylinder glass $(V)=\pi r^{2} h$

$ \begin{aligned} & =\dfrac{22}{7} \times(3.5)^{2} \times 12 \\ & =\dfrac{22}{7} \times 12.25 \times 12 \\ & =22 \times 1.75 \times 12 \\ & =462 ~cm^{2} \end{aligned} $

Quantity of milk needed for 1600 students $=(462 \times 1600) ~cm^{3}$

$ \begin{aligned} & =739200 ~cm^{3} \\ & =739.2 \text{ litres } \end{aligned} $

7. A cylindrical roller $2.5 m$ in length, $1.75 m$ in radius when rolled on a road was found to cover the area of $5500 m 2$. How many revolutions did it make?

Show Answer

Solution

Given: Length of cylinder roller $(h)=2.5 m$

Radius of cylinder roller $(r)=1.75 m$

Total area on road covered by cylinder roller $=5500 m^{2}$

Now, area covered in one revolution $=$ lateral surface area of the cylinder

$ \begin{aligned} & =2 \pi r h \\ & =2 \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 1.75 m \times 2.5 m \\ & =27.5 m^{2} \end{aligned} $

Since, the number of revolution (n) made by the roller is:

$=\dfrac{\text{Total area covered}}{\text{ Area covered in one revolution }}$

$=\dfrac{5500}{27.5}$

$=200$ revolutions.

8. A small village, having a population of 5000 , requires 75 litres of water per head per day. The village has got an overhead tank of measurement 40 $m \times 25 m \times 15 m$. For how many days will the water of this tank last?

Solution

Water contained in overhead tank $=40 m \times 25 m \times 15 m$.

$=(40 \times 25 \times 15) m^{3}$

$=(40 \times 25 \times 15 \times 1000)$ litres

Now, water needed for 5000 villages for one day $=(5000 \times 75)$ litres $=375000$ litres

So, total number of days the water of the tank last:

$ \begin{aligned} & =\dfrac{40 \times 25 \times 15 \times 1000}{375000} \\ & =\dfrac{15000}{375} \\ & =40 \text{ days } \end{aligned} $

Show Answer

Solution

According to the question, the solid formed is a cone whose height of a cone, $h=8 ~cm$ and radius of a cone, $r=6 ~cm$. Slant height of a cone, $1=10 ~cm$. So,

Volume of a cone $=\dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h=\dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 6 \times 6 \times 8$

$ \dfrac{6336}{21}=301.7 ~cm^{3} $

Now, curved surface of the area of cone $=\pi rl$

$ \begin{aligned} & =\dfrac{22}{7} \times 6 \times 10 \\ & =\dfrac{1320}{7} \\ & =188.5 ~cm^{2} \end{aligned} $

Therefore, the volume and surface area of a cone are $301.7 ~cm^{3}$ and $188.5 ~cm^{2}$, respectively.

Long Answer Questions

1. A cylindrical tube opened at both the ends is made of iron sheet which is $2 m$ thick. If the outer diameter is $1 6 ~cm$ and its length is $100 ~cm$, find how many cubic centimeters of iron has been used in making the tube?

Show Answer

Solution

Given:

Outer diameter of cylinder tube $(d)=16 ~cm$

Thickness of the iron sheet $=2 ~cm$

Height of the cylindrical tube $(h)=100 ~cm$

Outer radius of a cylindrical tube $(r_1)=\dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{16}{2} ~cm=8 ~cm$

Inner radius of a cylindrical tube $=(r_1-.$ thickness of the iron sheet $)$

$=8-2$

$=6 ~cm$

Now, volume of metal used in making cylindrical tube $=$ Outer volume of a cylindrical tube Inner volume of cylindrical tube

$ \begin{aligned} & =\pi r_1^{2} h-\pi r_2^{2} h \\ & =\pi h(r_1^{2}-r_2^{2}) \\ & =\dfrac{22}{7} \times 100(8^{2}-6^{2}) \\ & =\dfrac{22}{7} \times 100 \times(8-6) \times(8+6) \\ & =2200 \times 4 \\ & =8800 ~cm^{2} \end{aligned} $

Hence, $8800 ~cm^{2}$ of iron has been used in making the tube.

2. A semi-circular sheet of metal of diameter $28 ~cm$ is bent to form an open conical cup. Find the capacity of the cup.

Show Answer

Solution

Given: Diameter of a semi-circular sheet is $28 ~cm$. So,

Radius $(r)=\dfrac{28}{2}=14 ~cm$

$=14 ~cm$

Suppose the radius of a conical cup be R.

So, Circumference of base of cone $=$ Circumference of semi-circle

$2 \pi R=\pi r$

$2 \pi R=\pi \times 14$

$R=7 ~cm$

Now,

$ \begin{aligned} h & =\sqrt{l^{2}-R^{2}} \\ & =\sqrt{14^{2}-7^{2}} \\ & =\sqrt{196-49} \\ & =\sqrt{147} \\ & =12.1243 ~cm \end{aligned} $

Volume of conical cup $=\dfrac{1}{3} \pi R^{2} h$

$ \begin{aligned} & =\dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7 \times 12.1243 \\ & =622.38 ~cm^{3} \end{aligned} $

Hence, the capacity of an open conical cup is $622.38 ~cm^{3}$.

3. A cloth having an area of $165 m^{2}$ is shaped into the form of a conical tent of radius $5 m$

(i) How many students can sit in the tent if a student, on an average, occupies $\dfrac{5}{7} m^{2}$ on the ground?

(ii) Find the volume of the cone.

Show Answer

Solution

(i) Given:

Radius of the base of a conical tent $=5 ~cm$

Area needs to sit a student on the ground $=\dfrac{5}{7} m^{2}$

So, area of the base of a conical tent $=\pi r^{2}$

$ =\dfrac{22}{7} \times 5 \times 5 m^{2} $

Now, number of students $=\dfrac{\text{ Area of the base of a conical tent }}{\text{ Area needs to sit a student on the ground }}$

$ \begin{aligned} & =\dfrac{\dfrac{22 \times 5 \times 5}{7}}{\dfrac{5}{7}} \\ & =\dfrac{22}{7} \times 5 \times 5 \times \dfrac{7}{5} \\ & =110 \end{aligned} $

Hence, 110 students can sit in the conical tent.

(ii) Given: area of the cloth to form a conical tent $=165 m^{2}$

Radius of the base of a conical tent( $r)=5 m$

Now, Curved surface area of a conical tent $=$ Area of cloth to form a conical tent $\pi r l=165$

$\dfrac{22}{7} \times 5 \times l=165$

$ \begin{aligned} l & =\dfrac{165 \times 7}{22 \times 5} \\ & =\dfrac{33 \times 7}{22} \\ & =10.5 m \end{aligned} $

Now, height of the conical tent is calculated as:

$ \begin{aligned} h & =\sqrt{l^{2}-r^{2}} \\ & =\sqrt{(10.5)^{2}-(5)^{2}} \\ & =\sqrt{110.25-25} \\ & =\sqrt{85.25} \\ & =9.23 \end{aligned} $

Volume of a cone $=\dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$

$ \begin{aligned} & =\dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 5 \times 5 \times 923 \\ & =\dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{1550 \times 923}{7} \\ & =\dfrac{50765}{7 \times 3} \\ & =241.7 m^{3} \\ & \approx 242 m^{3} \end{aligned} $

Hence, the volume of the cone is $242 m^{3}$.

4. The water for a factory is stored in a hemispherical tank whose internal diameter is $14 m$. The tank contains 50 kilolitres of water. Water is pumped into the tank to fill to its capacity. Calculate the volume of water pumped into the tank.

Show Answer

Solution

Given: The tank contains 50 kilolitres of water.

Internal diameter of a hemispherical tank $=14 ~cm$

So, internal radius of hemispherical tank $=\dfrac{\text{ Diameter }}{2}=\dfrac{14}{2} m=7 m$

Now, Volume of hemisphere tank $=\dfrac{2}{3} \pi r^{3}$

$ \begin{aligned} & =\dfrac{2}{3} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 7^{3} \\ & =\dfrac{44 \times 49}{3} \\ & =718.66 m^{3} \end{aligned} $

The tank contains 50 kilolitres of water $=50,0001$ itres $=\dfrac{50,000}{1,000} m^{3}=50 m^{3}$

Volume of water pumped into the tank $=718.66 m^{3}-50 m^{3}=668.66 m^{3}$

5. The volumes of the two spheres are in the ratio $64: 27$. Find the ratio of their surface areas.

Show Answer

Solution

Suppose $V_1$ and $V_2$ be the volume of two sphere.

So, according to the question:

$\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{64}{27}$

$$ \begin{matrix} \dfrac{\dfrac{4}{3} \pi r_1^{3}}{\dfrac{4}{3} \pi r_2^{3}}=\dfrac{64}{27} & \text{ [As volume of sphere is } \dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \text{ ] } \\ \dfrac{r_1^{3}}{r_2^{3}}=\dfrac{64}{27} & \\ \dfrac{r_1^{3}}{r_2^{3}}=\dfrac{4^{3}}{3^{3}} & \\ \dfrac{r_1}{r_2}=\dfrac{4}{3} & \ldots \text{ (I) } \tag{I} \end{matrix} $$

Let surface area of both spheres are $S A_1$ and $S A_2$ respectively. So,

$\dfrac{S A_1}{S A_2}=\dfrac{4 \pi r_1^{2}}{4 \pi r_2^{2}} \quad$ [As surface area of sphere is $4 \pi r^{2}$ ]

$\dfrac{S A_1}{S A_2}=\dfrac{r_1^{2}}{r_2^{2}}$

$\dfrac{S A_1}{S A_2}=(\dfrac{r_1}{r_2})^{2}$

$\dfrac{S A_1}{S A_2}=(\dfrac{4}{3})^{2} \quad[$ Using equation (I) $]$

$\dfrac{S A_1}{S A_2}=\dfrac{16}{9}$

Hence, the ratio of the surface area of the two sphere is $16: 9$.

6. A cube of side $4 ~cm$ contains a sphere touching its sides. Find the volume of the gap in between.

Show Answer

Solution

Side of a cube $=4 ~cm$

As cube contains a sphere touching its sides. So, the diameter of the sphere $=4 ~cm$

Side of cube $=$ Diameter of sphere

4= Radius of sphere

Radius of sphere $=\dfrac{4}{2}=2$

Volume of the gap $=$ Volume of cube - Volume of sphere

$ \begin{aligned} & =(\text{ Side })^{3}-\dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \\ & =(4)^{3}-\dfrac{4}{3} \pi \times 2^{3} \quad[\text{ Since, side of cube }=\text{ diameter of sphere }] \end{aligned} $

$ \begin{aligned} & =(64-\dfrac{4}{3} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 8) \\ & =64-33.52 \\ & =30.48 ~cm^{3} \end{aligned} $

Hence, the volume of the gap between a cube and a sphere is $30.48 ~cm^{3}$.

7. A sphere and a right circular cylinder of the same radius have equal volumes. By what percentage does the diameter of the cylinder exceed its height?

Show Answer

Solution

Suppose the radius of sphere $=r=$ Radius of a right circular cylinder According to the question,

Volume of right circular cylinder $=$ Volume of a sphere [Given]

$ \begin{aligned} \pi r^{2} h & =\dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \\ h & =\dfrac{4}{3} r \end{aligned} $

As diameter of the cylinder $=2 r$

Increased diameter from height of the cylinder $=2 r-\dfrac{4 r}{3}=\dfrac{2 r}{3}$

Now, percentage increase in diameter of the cylinder $=\dfrac{\dfrac{2 r}{3} \times 100}{\dfrac{4}{3} r}$

$=50 %$

Hence, the diameter of the cylinder exceeds its height by $50 %$.

8. 30 circular plates, each of radius $14 ~cm$ and thickness $3 ~cm$ are placed one above the another to form a cylindrical solid. Find:

(i) the total surface area

(ii) volume of the cylinder so formed.

Show Answer

Solution

Given: radius of a circular plate( $r)=14 ~cm$

Thickness of the circular plates $=3 ~cm$

The height of the cylinder solid $(h)=$ Thickness of 30 circular plates $=30 \times 3=90 ~cm$

(i) Total surface area of the cylinder solid so formed $=2 \pi r(h+r)$

$=2 \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 14 \times(90+14)$

$=44 \times 2 \times 104$

$=9152 ~cm^{2}$

Hence, the total surface area of the cylinder solid is $9152 ~cm^{2}$.

(ii) Volume of the cylinder so formed $=\pi r^{2} h$

$ \begin{aligned} & =\dfrac{22}{7} \times 14^{2} \times 90 \\ & =\dfrac{22}{7} \times 14 \times 14 \times 90 \\ & =22 \times 28 \times 90 \\ & =55440 ~cm^{3} \end{aligned} $

Hence, the volume of the cylinder so formed is $55440 ~cm^{3}$.
