CBSE Class 10 Mathematics Basic 2026: question 34(a)

Set in the CBSE Class 10 board exam of 2026, paper 430/1/1, section D, question 34(a), for 5 marks. Try it first; the hints and our step-by-step solution are below.

Q34(a) · 5 marks · Long answerSurface Areas and Volumes

A toy is in the form of a cone surmounted on a hemisphere. The cone and hemisphere have the same radii. The height of the conical part of the toy is equal to the diameter of its base. If the radius of the conical part is 5 cm, find the volume of the toy.

Hints

Open one hint at a time and try again before the next.

Hint 1

The height of the cone equals the diameter, so $h = 2 r$ .

Hint 2

Add the volume of the hemisphere $\frac{2}{3} π r^{3}$ and the volume of the cone $\frac{1}{3} π r^{2} h$ .

Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

Radius $r = 5$ cm. Height of cone $h$ = diameter $= 10$ cm. Volume of toy = volume of hemisphere + volume of cone $= \frac{2}{3} π r^{3} + \frac{1}{3} π r^{2} h$ .
Volume of hemisphere $= \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 = \frac{5500}{21}$ cm³

Volume of cone $= \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 5 \times 5 \times 10 = \frac{5500}{21}$ cm³
2 marks
Volume of toy $= \frac{5500}{21} + \frac{5500}{21} = \frac{11000}{21}$ cm³ $\approx 523.81$ cm³
1 mark

Answer: 11000/21 cm³ ≈ 523.81 cm³

Where the marks are

Correct volume of the hemisphere, $\frac{5500}{21}$ cm³ (2 marks)
Correct volume of the cone with $h = 10$ cm, $\frac{5500}{21}$ cm³ (2 marks)
Total volume $\frac{11000}{21} \approx 523.81$ cm³ (1 mark)
