A skilled carpenter decided to craft a special rolling pin for the local baker. He carefully joined three cylindrical pieces of wood - two small ones on the ends and one larger in the centre to create a perfect tool. The baker loved the rolling pin, as it rolled out the smoothest dough for breads and pastries.
The length of the bigger cylindrical part is $\displaystyle 12$ cm and diameter is $\displaystyle 7$ cm and the length of each smaller cylindrical part is $\displaystyle 5$ cm and diameter is $\displaystyle 2 \cdot 1$ cm. Based on the above information, answer the following questions :(i)Find the volume of the bigger cylindrical part.(ii)Find the curved surface area of the bigger cylindrical part.(iii)Find the ratio of the volume of the bigger cylindrical part to the total volume of the two smaller (identical) cylindrical parts.Find the sum of the curved surface areas of the two identical smaller cylindrical parts.

The length of the bigger cylindrical part is $\displaystyle 12$ cm and diameter is $\displaystyle 7$ cm and the length of each smaller cylindrical part is $\displaystyle 5$ cm and diameter is $\displaystyle 2 \cdot 1$ cm. Based on the above information, answer the following questions :
(i)
Find the volume of the bigger cylindrical part.
(ii)
Find the curved surface area of the bigger cylindrical part.
(iii)
Find the ratio of the volume of the bigger cylindrical part to the total volume of the two smaller (identical) cylindrical parts.
Find the sum of the curved surface areas of the two identical smaller cylindrical parts.
Marking-scheme solution
(i) Volume of the bigger cylindrical part \(\displaystyle =\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{2} \times \frac{7}{2} \times 12\)
\[=462 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}
\]
(ii) The Curved Surface Area of bigger cylindrical part \(\displaystyle =2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{2} \times 12\)
\[=264 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}
\]
(iii) (a) Total volume of the two smaller cylindrical parts \(\displaystyle =2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{2.1}{2} \times \frac{2.1}{2} \times 5\)
\[=34.65 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}
\]
\[\text { Required ratio }=\frac{462}{34.65}=\frac{3080}{231}
\]
\(\displaystyle \therefore\) Required ratio is \(\displaystyle 3080: 231\)
OR
(iii) (b) The Sum of Curved Surface Area of two smaller cylindrical parts \(\displaystyle =2 \times 2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{2.1}{2} \times 5\)
\[=66 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}
\]
