The Great Stupa at Sanchi is one of the oldest stone structures in India, and an important monument of
Indian Architecture. It was originally commissioned by the emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century BCE. Its
nucleus was a simple hemispherical brick structure built over the relics of the Buddha. .It is a perfect
example of combination of solid figures. A big hemispherical dome with a cuboidal structure mounted
on it. (Take π = 22/7)
1)Calculate the volume of the hemispherical dome if the height of the dome is 21 m.
2)Find the cloth require to cover the hemispherical dome if the radius of its base is 14m.
3)Find the total surface area of the combined figure i.e. hemispherical dome with radius 14m and
cuboidal shaped top with dimensions 8m 6m 4m.
4)Find the formula to find the Volume of Sphere is -…

A Satellite flying at height h is watching the top of the two tallest mountains in Uttarakhand and
Karnataka, them being Nanda Devi(height 7,816m) and Mullayanagiri (height 1,930 m). The angles of
depression from the satellite, to the top of Nanda Devi and Mullayanagiri are 30° and 60° respectively. If
the distance between the peaks of the two mountains is 1937 km, and the satellite is vertically above
the midpoint of the distance between the two mountains
1) Find the distance of the satellite from the top of Nanda Devi.
2) Find the distance of the satellite from the top of Mullayanagiri
3) What is the angle of elevation if a man is standing at a distance of 7816m from Nanda Devi?
4) Find The distance of the satellite from the ground.

Ferris wheel (or a big wheel in the United Kingdom) is an amusement ride consisting of a rotating
upright wheel with multiple passenger-carrying components (commonly referred to as passenger cars,
cabins, tubs, capsules, gondolas, or pods) attached to the rim in such a way that as the wheel turns, they
are kept upright, usually by gravity.
After taking a ride in Ferris wheel, Aarti came out from the crowd and was observing her friends who
were enjoying the ride . She was curious about the different angles and measures that the wheel will
form. She forms the figure as given below.
1)In the given figure find ∠ROQ.
2)Find ∠RQP.
3)Find ∠ORP.

A brooch is a small piece of jewellery which has a pin at the back so it can be fastened on a dress, blouse
or coat. Designs of some brooch are shown below. Observe them carefully.
Design A: Brooch A is made with silver wire in the form of a circle with diameter 28mm. The wire used
for making 4 diameters which divide the circle into 8 equal parts.
Design B: Brooch b is made two colours – Gold and silver. Outer part is made with Gold. The
circumference of silver part is 44mm and the gold part is 3mm wide everywhere.
Refer to Design A
1) Find The total length of silver wire required.
2) Find The area of each sector of the brooch.
Refer to Design B
3) Find The circumference of outer part (golden)
4) Find The difference of areas of golden and silver parts.
