36. Ram was very happy to receive a fancy jumbo pencil from his best friend Rohan on his birthday. Pencil is a
basic writing tool; when sharpened, its shape is a combination of cylinder & cone as given in the
picture. Cylindrical pencils with conical heads are a common shape worldwide since ages.
Commonly, pencils are made up of wood & plastic, but we should promote pencils made up of
eco-friendly material (many options available in the market these days) to save environment.
The dimensions of Ram’s pencil are given as follows:

Length of cylindrical portion is 21cm. Diameter of the base is 1 cm and height of the conical portion is 1.2 cm.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(1) Find the slant height of the sharpened part.

(2) Find curved surface area of sharpened part (in terms of π).

(3) (A). Find the total surface area of the pencil (in terms of π).
OR

cylindrical part of the shortened pencil (in terms of π)?

120 students preferred to walk to school. 25% of the students preferred to use bicycles. 10% of the students
preferred to take the bus. Remaining students preferred to be dropped off by car.

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

(1) What is the probability that a randomly selected student does not prefer to walk to
school?

(2) Find the probability of a randomly selected student who prefers to walk or use a bicycle.

selected student comes to school using a bicycle on that day?
