2. The length, breadth and height of a room are 5 m, 4 m and 3 m respectively. Find the cost of
white washing the walls of the room and ceiling at the rate of Rs 7.50 per m2.
Solution:
Length (l) of room = 5m
Breadth (b) of room = 4m
Height (h) of room = 3m
It can be observed that four walls and the ceiling of the room are to be white washed.
Total area to be white washed = Area of walls + Area of ceiling of room
= 2lh+2bh+lb
= [2×5×3+2×4×3+5×4]
NCERT Solution For Class 9 Maths Chapter 13 Surface Areas and
Volumes
= (30+24+20)
= 74
Area = 74 m2
Also,
Cost of white wash per m2 area = Rs.7.50 (Given)
Cost of white washing 74 m2 area = Rs. (74×7.50)
= Rs. 555
3. The floor of a rectangular hall has a perimeter 250 m. If the cost of painting the four walls at
the rate of Rs.10 per m2 is Rs.15000, find the height of the hall.
[Hint: Area of the four walls = Lateral surface area.]
Solution:
Let length, breadth, and height of the rectangular hall be l, b, and h respectively.
Area of four walls = 2lh+2bh
= 2(l+b)h
Perimeter of the floor of hall = 2(l+b)
= 250 m
Area of four walls = 2(l+b) h = 250h m2
Cost of painting per square meter area = Rs.10
Cost of painting 250h square meter area = Rs (250h×10) = Rs.2500h
However, it is given that the cost of paining the walls is Rs. 15000.
15000 = 2500h
Or h = 6
Therefore, the height of the hall is 6 m.

Volumes
cm high
(i) Which box has the greater lateral surface area and by how much?
(ii) Which box has the smaller total surface area and by how much?
Solution:
From the question statement, we have
Edge of a cube = 10cm
Length, l = 12.5 cm
Breadth, b = 10cm
Height, h = 8 cm
(i) Find the lateral surface area for both the figures
Lateral surface area of cubical box = 4 (edge)2
= 4(10)2
= 400 cm2 …(1)
From (1) and (2), lateral surface area of the cubical box is more than the lateral surface area of the
cuboidal box. The difference between both the lateral surfaces is, 40 cm2.
(Lateral surface area of cubical box - Lateral surface area of cuboidal box=400cm2–360cm2 = 40 cm2)
(ii) Find the total surface area for both the figures
The total surface area of the cubical box = 6(edge)2 = 6(10 cm)2 = 600 cm2…(3)
From (3) and (4), the total surface area of the cubical box is smaller than that of the cuboidal box. And
their difference is 10cm2.
Therefore, the total surface area of the cubical box is smaller than that of the cuboidal box by 10 cm2
6. A small indoor greenhouse (herbarium) is made entirely of glass panes (including base) held
together with tape. It is 30cm long, 25 cm wide and 25 cm high.
(i)What is the area of the glass?
(ii)How much of tape is needed for all the 12 edges?
Solution:
(ii)
From figure, tape is required along sides AB, BC, CD, DA, EF, FG, GH, HE AH, BE, DG, and CF.
Total length of tape = 4(l+b+h)
= [4(30+25+25)] (after substituting the values)
= 320
Therefore, 320 cm tape is required for all the 12 edges.
7. Shanti Sweets Stall was placing an order for making cardboard boxes for packing their sweets.
Two sizes of boxes were required. The bigger of dimensions 25 cm×20cm×5cm and the smaller of
dimension 15cm×12cm×5cm. For all the overlaps, 5% of the total surface area is required extra. If
the cost of the cardboard is Rs. 4 for 1000 cm2, find the cost of cardboard required for supplying
250 boxes of each kind.
Solution:
Let l, b and h be the length, breadth and height of the box.
Bigger Box:
l = 25cm
b = 20 cm
h = 5 cm
Total surface area of bigger box = 2(lb+lh+bh)
= [2(25×20+25×5+20×5)]
NCERT Solution For Class 9 Maths Chapter 13 Surface Areas and
Volumes
= [2(500+125+100)]
= 1450 cm2
Smaller Box:
Similarly, total surface area of smaller box = [2(15×12+15×5+12×5] cm2
= [2(180+75+60)] cm2
= (2×315) cm2
= 630 cm2
Therefore, extra area required for overlapping 630×5/100 cm2 = 31.5 cm2
Total surface area of 1 smaller box while considering all overlaps
= (630+31.5) cm2 = 661.5 cm2
Area of cardboard sheet required for 250 smaller boxes = (250×661.5) cm2 = 165375 cm2
In Short:
Box Dimensions Total surface Extra area Total surface Area for 250

(in cm2) )
Bigger Box l = 25 1450 1450×5/100 (1450+72.5) = (1522.5×250) =
b = 20 = 72.5 1522.5 380625
c=5
Smaller Box l = 15 630 630×5/100 = (630+31.5) = ( 250×661.5) =
b = 12 31.5 661.5 165375
h =5
Therefore, Cost of 546000 cm2 cardboard sheet =Rs. (546000×4)/1000 = Rs. 2184
Therefore, the cost of cardboard required for supplying 250 boxes of each kind will be Rs. 2184.
8. Praveen wanted to make a temporary shelter for her car, by making a box – like structure with
tarpaulin that covers all the four sides and the top of the car (with the front face as a flap which
can be rolled up). Assuming that the stitching margins are very small, and therefore negligible,
how much tarpaulin would be required to make the shelter of height 2.5m, with base dimensions
4m×3m?
NCERT Solution For Class 9 Maths Chapter 13 Surface Areas and
Volumes
Solution:
Let l, b and h be the length, breadth and height of the shelter.
Given:
l = 4m
b = 3m
h = 2.5m
Tarpaulin will be required for the top and four wall sides of the shelter.
Using formula, Area of tarpaulin required = 2(lh+bh)+lb
On putting the values of l, b and h, we get
= [2(4×2.5+3×2.5)+4×3] m2
= [2(10+7.5)+12]m2
= 47m2
Therefore, 47 m2 tarpaulin will be required.

1. The curved surface area of a right circular cylinder of height 14 cm is 88 cm2. Find the diameter
of the base of the cylinder. (Assume π =22/7 )
Solution:
Height of cylinder, h = 14cm
Let the diameter of the cylinder be d
Curved surface area of cylinder = 88 cm2
We know that, formula to find Curved surface area of cylinder is 2πrh.
So 2πrh =88 cm2 (r is the radius of the base of the cylinder)
2×(22/7)×r×14 = 88 cm2
2r = 2 cm
d =2 cm
Therefore, the diameter of the base of the cylinder is 2 cm.

r2 = 4.4/2 cm = 2.2 cm
Height of cylindrical pipe, h = length of cylindrical pipe = 77 cm
(iii) Total surface area of pipe = inner curved surface area+ outer curved surface area+ Area of both
circular ends of pipe.
= 2r1h+2r2h+(r12-r22)
= 9668+1064.8+2(2.22-22)
= 2031.8+5.28
= 2038.08 cm2
Therefore, the total surface area of the cylindrical pipe is 2038.08 cm2.

curved surface of the pillar at the rate of Rs. 12.50 per m2.
(Assume π = 22/7)
Solution:
Let h be the height of a cylindrical pillar and r be the radius.
Given:
Height cylindrical pillar = h = 3.5 m
Radius of the circular end of pillar = r = diameter/2 = 50/2 = 25cm = 0.25m
CSA of pillar = 2πrh
= 2×(22/7)×0.25×3.5
= 5.5 m2
Cost of painting 1 m2 area = Rs. 12.50
Cost of painting 5.5 m2 area = Rs (5.5×12.50)
= Rs.68.75
Therefore, the cost of painting the curved surface of the pillar at the rate of Rs. 12.50 per m2 is Rs 68.75.

Radius of circular end of pipe = diameter/ 2 = 5/2 cm = 2.5cm = 0.025m
Now, CSA of cylindrical pipe = 2πrh, where r = radius and h = height of the cylinder
= 2×(22/7)×0.025×28 m2
= 4.4m2
The area of the radiating surface of the system is 4.4m2.

Volume of the solid spherical ball = (4/3) πr3
Volume of the ball = (4/3)×(22/7)×143 = 34496/3
Hence, volume of the ball is 34496/3 cm3
3.The diameter of a metallic ball is 4.2cm. What is the mass of the ball, if the density of the metal
is 8.9 g per cm3? (Assume π=22/7)
Solution:
NCERT Solution For Class 9 Maths Chapter 13 Surface Areas and
Volumes
Given,
Diameter of a metallic ball = 4.2 cm
Radius(r) of the metallic ball, r = 4.2/2 cm = 2.1 cm
Volume formula = 4/3 πr3
Volume of the metallic ball = (4/3)×(22/7)×2.1 cm3
Volume of the metallic ball = 38.808 cm3
4. The diameter of the moon is approximately one-fourth of the diameter of the earth. What
fraction of the volume of the earth is the volume of the moon?
Solution:
Let the diameter of earth be “d”. Therefore, the radius of earth will be will be d/2
Diameter of moon will be d/4 and the radius of moon will be d/8
