The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into two parts as given in the question. ### Part (i): Cost of the canvas required to make the conical tent 1. **Identify the dimensions of the cone:** - Height (h) = 7 m - Radius (r) = 24 m 2. **Calculate the slant height (l) of the cone using the Pythagorean theorem:** \[ l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2} = \sqrt{24^2 + 7^2} = \sqrt{576 + 49} = \sqrt{625} = 25 \text{ m} \] 3. **Calculate the curved surface area (CSA) of the cone:** \[ \text{CSA} = \pi r l = \frac{22}{7} \times 24 \times 25 \] \[ = \frac{22 \times 24 \times 25}{7} = \frac{13200}{7} \approx 1885.71 \text{ m}^2 \] 4. **Calculate the cost of the canvas:** - Cost per square meter = Rs 20 \[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{CSA} \times \text{Cost per square meter} = 1885.71 \times 20 = 37714.28 \text{ Rs} \] ### Part (ii): Number of persons that can be accommodated in the tent 1. **Calculate the area of the base of the cone:** \[ \text{Area of base} = \pi r^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 24^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 576 = \frac{12672}{7} \approx 1810.29 \text{ m}^2 \] 2. **Calculate the number of persons that can stand in the tent:** - Area required per person = 5 m² \[ \text{Number of persons (area)} = \frac{\text{Area of base}}{\text{Area required per person}} = \frac{1810.29}{5} \approx 362.06 \text{ persons} \] 3. **Calculate the volume of the cone:** \[ \text{Volume} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 24^2 \times 7 = \frac{22 \times 576}{3} = 4224 \text{ m}^3 \] 4. **Calculate the number of persons that can breathe in the tent:** - Volume required per person = 20 m³ \[ \text{Number of persons (volume)} = \frac{\text{Total volume}}{\text{Volume required per person}} = \frac{4224}{20} = 211.2 \text{ persons} \] 5. **Determine the limiting factor:** - The number of persons that can stand is approximately 362. - The number of persons that can breathe is approximately 211. - Therefore, the number of persons that can be accommodated in the tent is limited by the breathing space: \[ \text{Number of persons accommodated} = 211 \] ### Final Answers: - (i) The cost of the canvas required to make the tent is Rs 37714.28. - (ii) The number of persons that can be accommodated in the tent is 211.
