Option 1: 2772
Option 2: 3465
Option 3: 2079
Option 4: 4158
Correct Answer: 4158
Solution : Let $r$ be the radius of the hemisphere. Volume of a hemisphere, V = $\frac{2}{3} \pi r^3$ Given: V = $19404$ ⇒ $19404 = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3$ ⇒ $19404 = \frac{2}{3}\times \frac{22}{7}\times r^3$ ⇒ $r^3= 9261$ ⇒ $r = 21\ \text{cm}$ Total Surface Area of

Question : $G$ is the centroid of the equilateral triangle $ABC$. If $AB$ is $9\text{ cm}$, then $AG$ is equal to:
Option 1: $3 \sqrt 3\text{ cm}$
Option 2: $3\text{ cm}$
Option 3: $\frac{3 \sqrt 3}{2}\text{ cm}$
Option 4: $6 \text{ cm}$
Correct Answer: $3 \sqrt 3\text{ cm}$
Solution : The side of an equilateral triangle ($a$) $=9\text{ cm}$ Median $AD$ of equilateral triangle $=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a$ ⇒ ${AD} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\times 9$ Also, a centroid divides the median in the ratio of $2:1$. So, $ AG : GD = 2 : 1$ ⇒ $\frac{AG}{AD}=\frac{2}{3}$
