Question

In the following question, two statements, (i) and (ii), are given. Choose the valid statement.

  1. The total surface area of a sphere is 154 cm2. Its radius will be 7 cm.
  2. For a cone; h2 = l2 + r2.

Options

  • Only (i)

  • Only (ii)

  • Both (i) and (ii)

  • Neither (i) nor (ii)

Solution

Neither (i) nor (ii)

Explanation:

  • Statement (i) is invalid because a total surface area of 154 cm2 corresponds to a radius of `sqrt((154 × 7)/(4 × 22))` = 3.5 cm, not 7 cm.
  • Statement (ii) is also invalid because the correct relationship between the dimensions of a cone is given by Pythagoras' theorem as l2 = h2 + r2, which means h2 = l2 − r2
