Question : If the diameter of a hemisphere is 35 cm, then what is the volume of the hemisphere?
Option 1: 11229.17 cm3
Option 2: 15248.46 cm3
Option 3: 17428.33 cm3
Option 4: 9478.26 cm3
Correct Answer: 11229.17 cm3
Solution : Given the diameter of the hemisphere = 35 cm ⇒ Radius = $\frac{35}{2}$ cm The volume of the hemisphere = $\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$ = $\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{22}{7}\times \frac{35}{2}\times \frac{35}{2}\times \frac{35}{2}$ = $\frac{22\times 5\times 35\times 35}{3\times 2\times 2}$ = $\frac{134750}{12}$ = $11229.17\ \mathrm{cm^3}$ Hence, the correct
Question : A man travels for 14 hours and 40 minutes. He covers half of the journey by train at a rate of 60 km/hr and the rest by road at a rate of 50 km/hr. The distance travelled by him is:
