Detailed Solution

Let the given situation be,

Question Image

Let BC=r cm , AB=h cm , x=Semi vertical angle.

Let BC be the side about which the triangle is revolved.

As it is given that r+h=9 cm

Volume of the cone formed will be given as V=13πr2h

Substituting r=9-h in V,

V=13π(9-h)2×h V=13×π×81h-18h2+h3

As the volume of the cone must be Maximum so put dVdh=0

Differentiating V=13×π×81h-18h2+h3 with respect to h we get,

dVdh=13π×81-36h+3h2 dVdh=33π×27-12h+h2

Putting dVdh=0

33π×27-12h+h2=0 27-12h+h2=0 h2-9h-3h+27=0 (h-3)(h-9)=0 h=3,9

Let h=9

r=9-h r=9-9 r=0

h=9 is not possible.

So, h=3

r=9-h r=9-3=6

Applying Pythagoras theorem to find the slant heightAC of cone.

So, Slant height BC=h2+r2

AC=32+62 AC=45 AC=5×32 AC=35 cm

Thus the maximum volume of the cone is V=13π62×3

V=36π cm3

As we know the curved surface of the cone is given as S=πrl where l=AC(Slant height)

S=π×6×35

S=185×π  cm2

In ABC tanx=BCAB=rh

x=tan-136 x=tan-112

So, Semi vertical angle of the cone is x=tan-112.

Hence all options-1,2,3,4 are correct answers.
