Q36: Selvi is setting up a water purifier system in her house which includes setting up an
overhead tank in the shape of a right circular cylinder. This is filled by pumping water
from a sump (underground tank) which is in the shape of a cuboid.
The underground water tank (sump) is a sturdy single piece built to with stand
underground pressure and is available in the storage capacity of 2000L.

These, along with hassle-free installation and minimum maintenance needs make it the
ideal water storage solution.
Dimensions (sump)
1.57 m × 1.44 m × 95 cm
Dimensions (overhead tank)
Radius is 60 cm and Height is 95 cm
Water flow conditions at the required overload capacity should be checked for critical
pressure drop to ensure that valves are adequately sized.
On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions:
(A) Find the ratio of the capacity of the sump to the capacity of the overhead tank.
(B) If overhead tank need to be painted to save it from corrosion, how much area need to
be painted?
(C) If water is filled in the overhead tank at the rate of 20 litre per minute, the tank will be
completely filled in how much time?
OR
If the amount of water in the sump, at an instant, is 1500 litres, then find the water level
in the sumo at that instant?
Solution:

(A)

(B) C.S.A of cylindrical tank

(C) Volume of water in cylindrical tank

Now,
Volume of tank
20l tank is filled in 1 minute.
tank is filled in
OR
Volume of water in sump

Q37: Rishu is riding in a hot air balloon. After reaching a point P, he spots a car parked at
B on the ground at an angle of depression of . The balloon rises further by 50 metres
and now he spots the same car at an angle of depression of and a lorry parked at B
at an angle of depression of . (Use )

The measurement of Rishu facing vertically is the height. Distance is defined as the
measurement of car/lorry from a point in a horizontal direction. If an imaginary line is
drawn from the observation point to the top edge of the car/lorry a triangle is formed by
the vertical horizontal and imaginary line.
On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions:
(A) If the height of the balloon at point P is ‘h’ m and the distance AB is ‘x’ m, then find the
relation between ‘x’ and ‘h’.
(B) Find the relation between the height of the balloon at point and distance AB.
(C) Find the height of the balloon at point P, and the distance AB on the ground.
OR
Find the distance on the ground.

Q38: To conduct sport day activities in the rectangular school ground ABCD, lines have
been drawn with chalk powder at a distance of 1 m each along DB.
100 flower pots have been placed at a distance of 1 m from each other along DA as
shown in the figure below.

Radha runs of the distance DA on 2nd line and post a green flag at X. Preeti runs
of the distance DA on other line post a red flag at Y.
On the basis of the above information, answer the following questions:
(A) Treating DB as x-axis and DA as y-axis, then find the position of green flag.
(B) Treating DB as x-axis and DA as y-axis, then find the position of red flag.
(C) Find the distance (in complete metres) between the two flags.
OR
Find the perimeter (in complete metres) of the triangular region OXY.

Solution:

(A) Radha’s distance on x-axis is 2 and on y-axis she is at

Green flag coordinates are (2, 25)
(B) X-coordinates = 8
Y-coordinates
Coordinates of red flag (8, 20)
