(i) How many cubic metres of soil must be dug out to make a well 20 metres deep and 2 metres in diameter? (ii) If the inner curved surface of the well in part (i) above is to be plastered at the rate of Rs 50 per m square, find the cost of plastering.

(i) Given diameter of the well, d = 2 m
Radius, r = d/2 = 2/2 = 1 m
Depth of the well, h = 20 m
Volume of the well, V = r2h
= (22/7)×12×20
= 62.85 m3
Hence the amount of soil dug out to make the well is 62.85 m3.
(ii)Curved surface area of the well = 2rh
= 2×(22/7)×1×20
= 880/7 m2
Cost of plastering the well per m2 = Rs. 50
Total cost of plastering the well = 50×(880/7)
= Rs. 6285.71
Hence the total cost of plastering is Rs. 6285.71.
