Q36 4
Once upon a time in Ghaziabad (1+1+2)
mandi, there was a corn cob
seller. During the lockdown
period in the year 2020, his
business was almost lost.
So he started selling corn
grains through Amazon and
Flipkart. 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 shaped somewhat like a cone, has the radius of its broadest
end as 2.1 cm and length as 20 cm.
i) Find the curved surface area of the corn cob.
ii) Find the volume of corn cob.
iii) If each 1𝑐𝑚2 of the surface of the cob carries an average of four
grains, find how many grains you would find on the entire cob?
OR
How many such cobs can be stored in a carton of size 20 cm × 25
cm × 20 cm.
