Q.37 Once upon a time in Ghaziabad was a corn cob seller. During the lockdown period in the
year 2020, his business
was almost lost.
So, he started selling corn grains online through Amazon and Flipcart. Just to
understand how many grains he
will have from one corn cob, he started counting them.
Being a student of mathematics let's calculate it mathematically. Let's assume that one
corn cob (see Fig.),

shaped somewhat like a cone, has the radius of its broadest end as 2.1 cm and length as (1m)
20 cm. (1m)
i. Find the curved surface area of the corn cub.
ii. What is the volume of the corn cub?
2
iii. If each 1 𝑐𝑚 of the surface of the cob carries an average of four grains, find how
many grains you would (2m)
find on the entire cob?

i. If A = (4𝑥 + 3) and D= (5𝑥 − 3) , then find the measure of B. (1m)
0 0
ii. If B = (2𝑦) and D = (3𝑦 − 6) , then find the value of y.
0 0 (2m)
iii. If A = (2𝑥 − 3) and C = (4𝑦 + 2) , then find how x and y relate.
