38. A bakery is an establishment that produces and sells flour-based food baked in an oven such as bread,
cookies, cakes, pastries, and pies. Some retail bakeries are also categorized as cafés, serving coffee and tea
to customers who wish to consume the baked goods on the premises.

Tania runs a bakery shop and her bakery is very famous for tasty biscuits. The amount of mixture
required to make one biscuit is 18 cu cm. Before it is cooked, the mixture is rolled into a sphere. After the
biscuit is cooked, the biscuit becomes a cylinder of radius 3 cm and height 0.7 cm. The increase in volume
is due to air being trapped in the biscuit. Biscuits are packed in a cylindrical card box of height 14 cm.
The arrangement of biscuits is shown below.

(i) What is the volume of the biscuits after it is cooked ? What is the volume of air trapped, while
cooking the biscuit ?
(ii) How many biscuits will be there in a box ?
(iii) How much space is vacant in box after biscuits are packed ?


O
(iv) If weight of 7 biscuits is 50 grams, what will be the weight of box of biscuits?
