NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Mathematics Surface Areas and Volumes
Assume 
unless stated otherwise.
1. The circumference of the base of a cylindrical vessel is 132 cm and its height is 25 cm. How many litres of water can it hold? (1 m3 = 1000
)
Ans. Height of vessel = 
= 25 cm
Circumference of base of vessel
= 132 cm
= 132
= 21 cm
Now, Volume of cylindrical vessel
= 
= 
= 34650 cm3
= 
liters [
1000 cm3 = 1 liter]
= 34.65 liters
2. The inner diameter of a cylindrical wooden pipe is 24 cm and its out diameter is 28 cm. The length of the pipe is 35 cm. Find the mass of the pipe, if 1cm3 of wood has a mass of 0.5 g.
Ans. Inner diameter of pipe = 28 cm
Inner radius of pipe 
= 
= 12 cm
And Outer diameter of pipe = 28 cm
Outer radius of pipe (R)
= 
= 14 m
Length of pipe = 35 cm
Volume of wood = Volume of outer cylinder – Volume of inner cylinder
= 
= 
= 
= 110 [ 196 – 144 ] = 110 x 52
= 5720 cm3
Weight of 1 cm3 of wood = 0.6 g
Weight of 5720 cm3 of wood
= 0.6 x 5720 = 3432 g = 3.432 kg

3. A soft drink is available in two packs (i) a tin can with a rectangular base of length 5 cm and width 4 cm, having height of 15 cm (ii) a plastic cylinder with circular base of diameter 7 cm and height 10 cm. Which container has greater capacity and how much?
Ans. I case: Length of tin 
= 5 cm, Width of tin 
= 4 cm
and Height of tin = 15 cm
Then, Capacity of tin = 
= 5 x 4 x 15 = 300 cm3
II case: Diameter of base of cylinder = 7 cm
Radius of base of cylinder = 
cm
Height of cylinder 
= 10 cm
Capacity of cylinder = 
= 
= 385 cm3
From the cases I and II, we observed that
cylindrical container has greater capacity
by (385 – 300) = 85 cm3.

4. If the lateral surface of a cylinder is 94.2 cm2 and its height is 5 cm, then (i) radius of its base (ii) volume of the cylinder.
Ans. Height of the cylinder = 5 cm
Lateral surface area of the cylinder
= 94.2 cm2
= 94.2
2 x 3.14 x 
x 5 = 94.2
= 3 cm
Volume of cylinder =
= 3.14 x 3 x 3 x 5 = 141.3 cm3

5. It costs Rs. 2200 to paint the inner curved surface of a cylindrical vessel 10 m deep. If the cost of painting is at the rate of Rs. 20 per m2, find:
(i) inner curved surface area of the vessel.
(ii) radius of the base.
(iii) capacity of the vessel.
Ans. Total cost to paint inner curved surface area of the vessel = Rs. 2200
Rate = Rs. 20 per square meter
(i) Inner curved surface area of vessel = 
= 
= 110 m2
(ii) Depth of the vessel = 10 m
Now, Inner surface area of vessel
= 110 m2
= 110
= 1.75 m
(iii) Since = 1.75 m and
= 10 m
Capacity of vessel
= Volume of cylinder =
= 
= 96.25 m3
= 96.25 kl [1 m3 = 1 kl]

6. The capacity of a closed cylindrical vessel of height 1 m is 15.4 litres. How many square meters of metal sheet would be needed to make it?
Ans. Height of the vessel = 1 m
Capacity of vessel = 15.4 liters
= 
kilo liters
= 0.0154 m3 [1 m3 = 1 kl]
= 0.0154
= 0.0007 x 7 = 0.0048
= 0.07 m
Now, Area of metal sheet required = TSA of cylindrical vessel
= 
= 
= 
= 0.4708 m2

7. A bag of grain contains 2.8 m3 of grain. How many bags are needed to fill a drum of radius 4.2 m and height 5 m?
Ans. Radius of drum = 4.2 m and Height of drum = 5 m
Volume of a drum =
= 
= 22 x 0.6 x 4.2 x 5 = 277.2 m3
Now, Number of bags
= 
= 
= 99
Hence 99 bags are needed to fill the drum.

8. A lead pencil consists of a cylinder of wood with a solid cylinder of graphite filled in the interior. The diameter of the pencil is 7 mm and diameter of graphite is 1 mm. If the length of the pencil is 14 cm, find the columns of the wood and that of the graphite.
Ans. Diameter of graphite = 1 mm
Radius of drum = 0.5 mm
= 0.05 cm
Height of graphite = 14 cm
Volume of graphite =
= 
= 0.11 cm3
Diameter of pencil = 7 mm
Radius of pencil (R) = 3.5 mm
= 0.35 cm
Volume of pencil= 
= 
= 5.39 cm3
Now, Volume of wood = Volume of pencil – Volume of graphite
= 5.39 – 0.11 = 5.28 cm3

9. A patient in a hospital is given soup daily in a cylindrical bowl of diameter 7 cm. If the bowl is filled with soup to a height of 4 cm, how much soup the hospital has to prepare daily to serve 250 patients?
Ans. Diameter of circular base of cylindrical bowl = 7 cm
Radius of circular base of cylindrical
bowl = cm
Height of the bowl = 4 cm
Now, Volume of cylindrical bowl =
= 
= 22 x 7 = 154 cm3
Quantity of soup filled in a bowl
= 154 cm3
Therefore, total quantity of soup to be prepared by the hospital = 250 x 154
= 38500 cm3
= 
liter [1 liter = 1000 cm3]
= 38.5 liters
