A container, open at the top, made up of metal sheet is in the form of the frustum of a cone of height 16 cm with radii of lower and upper circular ends as 8 cm and 20 cm respectively. Find the cost of milk which can completely fill the container at the rate of < 40 per litre and also find the cost of metal sheet used if it costs < 10 per 100 cm2. (Use π = 3.14)


We have to find cost of milk which can completely fill container, for that we need to find volume (in litres)


Given:


Radius of the upper end of the container = r1 = 20 cm


Radius of the lower end of the container = r2 = 8 cm


Height of the container = 16 cm


Slant height, l = √{h2 + (r1 – r2)2}


= √{(16)2 +(20 – 8)2


= √256 + (12)2


= √256 + 144


= √400


= 20 cm


Now,






= 10445.76 cm3




= 10.44576 Litre


A litre of milk cost Rs 40


So, total cost of filling the container with milk = Rs 40 × 10.44576


= Rs 417.83


Now, we need to find cost of metal, for that we need to find the area of container


Since container is closed from bottom,


Surface Area of the container


= CSA of the frustum + Area of circular base


= πl(r1+r2) + πr22


= 3.14 × [{20 × (20 + 8)} + (8)2]


= 3.14 × [400 + 160 + 64]


= 3.14 × 624


= 1959.36 cm2


Cost of 100cm2 of metal sheet = Rs 10




= Rs 195.93


Hence,


Cost of milk = Rs 417.83


Cost of metal sheet = Rs 195.93
