35. (a) The largest possible hemisphere is drilled out from a wooden cubical block of side 21 cm such
that the base of the hemisphere is on one of the faces of the cube.
Find: (i) the volume of wood left in the block, (ii) the total surface area of the remaining solid.

36. Due to short circuit, a fire has broken out in New Home Complex. Two buildings, namely X and Y
have mainly been affected. The fire engine has arrived and it has been stationed at a point which is in
between the two buildings. A ladder at point O is fixed in front of the fire engine. The ladder inclined at
an angle 60° to the horizontal is leaning against the wall of the terrace (top) of the building Y. The foot
of the ladder is kept fixed and after some time it is made to lean against the terrace (top) of the opposite
building X at an angle of 45° with the ground. Both the buildings along with the foot of the ladder, fixed
at ‘O’ are in a straight line.
(i) Find the length of the ladder. (ii) Find the distance of the building Y from point ‘O’, i.e. OA.
(iii) (a) Find the horizontal distance between the two buildings. OR
(b) Find the height of the building X.
37. A school has decided to plant some endangered trees on 51st World Environment Day in the nearest
park. They have decided to plant those trees in few concentric circular rows such that each succeeding
row has 20 more trees than the previous one. The first circular row has 50 trees.
(i) How many trees will be planted in the 10th row ?
(ii) How many more trees will be planted in the 8th row than in the 5th row ?
(iii) (a) If 3200 trees are to be planted in the park, then how many rows are required ?
OR
(b) If 3200 trees are to be planted in park, then how many trees are still left to be planted after 11th row?
38. Partha, a software engineer, lives in Jerusalem for his work. He lives in the most convenient area of
city from where bank, hospital, post office and supermarket can be easily accessed. In the graph, bank is
plotted as A(9, 5), hospital as B(– 3, – 1) and supermarket as C(5, – 5) such that A, B, C form a triangle.
(i) Find the distance between the bank and the hospital.
(ii) In between the bank and the supermarket, there is a post office plotted at E which is their mid-point.
Find the coordinates of E.
(iii) (a) In between the hospital and the supermarket, there is a bus stop plotted as D, which is their mid-
point. If Partha wants to reach the bus stand from the bank, then how much distance does he need to
cover?
OR
(b) P and Q are two different garment shops lying between the bank and the hospital, such that BP = PQ
= QA. If the coordinates of P and Q are (1, a) and (b, 3) respectively, then find the values of ‘a’ and ‘b’.
