प्रश्न

A solid right circular cone is cut into two parts at the middle of its height by a plane parallel to its base. The ratio of the volume of the smaller cone to the whole cone is

विकल्प

  • A. 1 : 2

  • B. 1 : 4

  • C. 1 : 6

  • D. 1 : 8

MCQ

उत्तर

Let the height and the radius of whole cone be H  and R respectively.

The cone is divided into two parts by drawing a plane through the mid point of its height and parallel to the base. 

Let the radius of the smaller cone be r cm.

In ∆OCD and ∆OAB,

∠OCD = ∠OAB  (90°)

∠COD = ∠AOB  (Common)

∴∆OCD ∼ ∆OAB  (AA Similarity criterion)

⇒ R = 2r

Thus, the ratio of smaller cone to whole cone is 1 : 8.

One evening, Kaushik was in a park. Children were playing cricket. Birds were singing on a nearby tree of height 80m. He observed a bird on the tree at an angle of elevation of 45°.

When a sixer was hit, a ball flew through the tree frightening the bird to fly away. In 2 seconds, he observed the bird flying at the same height at an angle of elevation of 30° and the ball flying towards him at the same height at an angle of elevation of 60°.

  1. At what distance from the foot of the tree was he observing the bird sitting on the tree?
  2. How far did the bird fly in the mentioned time?
    (or)
    After hitting the tree, how far did the ball travel in the sky when Kaushik saw the ball?
  3. What is the speed of the bird in m/min if it had flown `20(sqrt3 + 1) m`?
