20. Khurja is a city in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh famous for the pottery. Khurja pottery is
traditional Indian pottery work which has attracted Indians as well as foreigners with a variety of
tea-sets, crockery and ceramic tile works. A huge portion of the ceramics used in the country is
supplied by Khurja and is also refered as ‘‘The Ceramic Town’’.
One of the private schools of Bulandshahr organised an Educational Tour for class 10 students to
Khurja. Students were very excited about the trip. Following are the few pottery objects of Khurja.

Students found the shapes of the objects very interesting and they could easily relate them with
mathematical shapes viz sphere, hemisphere, cylinder etc. Maths teacher who was accompanying the
students asked following questions :
(a) The internal radius of hemispherical bowl (filled completely with water) in I is 9 cm and radius
and height of cylindrical jar in II is 1.5 cm and 4 cm respectively. If the hemispherical bowl is to be
emptied in cylindrical jars, then how many cylindrical jars are required ? (2)
(b) If in the cylindrical jar full of water, a conical funnel of same height and same diameter is
immersed, then how much water will flow out of the jar ? (2)
