A container made of a metal sheet open at the top is of the form of frustum of cone, whose height is 16 cm and the radii of its lower and upper circular edges are 8 cm and 20cm respectively. Find i] the cost of metal sheet used to make the container if it costs 10 per 100 cm² , ii] the cost of milk at the rate of 35 per litre which can fill it completely.

This is one of the important question from the cbse board exam point of view because in 2013 and 2017 cbse board exam this question was asked. Question number 5 from RS Aggarwal book page number 823, exercise 17C, chapter volume and surface area of solid.

  1. Given data

    Radius of lower end = r = 8 cm

    Radius of upper end = R = 20 cm

    Height of container frustum = h = 16 cm

    Cost of 100 cm2 metal sheet = Rs 10

    So, Cost of 1 cm2 metal sheet = 10/100 = Rs 0.1

    Let l be the slant height.

    l2 = (R-r)2 + h2

    = (20-8)2 + 162

    = 256 + 144

    = 400

    or l= 20cm

    Surface area of frustum of the cone = πr2 + π(R + r)l cm2

    = π[ (20 + 8 )20 + 82]

    = π[560 + 64]

    = 624 X ( 22/7 )

    = 1961.14 cm2

    (i) Find cost of metal sheet used to make the container if it costs Rs. 10 per 100 cm2

    Cost of metal sheet per 100 cm2 = Rs. 10

    Cost of metal for Rs. 1961.14 cm2 = (1961.14 x10)/100 = Rs. 196.114

    (ii) Find the volume of frustum:

    Volume of frustum = 1/3 πh(r2 + R2 + rR)

    = 1/3 x 22/7 x 16(82 + 202 + 8×20)

    = 1/3 x 22/7 x 16(64 + 400 + 160)

    = 10345.4208 cm3

    = 10.345 liters

    Using

    1000cm3 = 1 litre

    1 cm= 1/1000 litre

    Cost of 1 liter milk = Rs. 35

    Cost of 10.345 liter milk = Rs. 35 x 10.345

    = Rs. 363
