Q3:
A gulab jamun, contains sugar syrup up to about $30\%$ of its volume. Find approximately how much syrup would be found in $45$ gulab jamuns, each shaped like a cylinder with two hemispherical ends with length $5$ cm and diameter $2.8$ cm (see Fig. 12.15).

A gulab jamun, contains sugar syrup up to about $30\%$ of its volume. Find approximately how much syrup would be found in $45$ gulab jamuns, each shaped like a cylinder with two hemispherical ends with length $5$ cm and diameter $2.8$ cm (see Fig. 12.15).

Solution :
Given:
- Total number of gulab jamuns ($n$) = $45$.
- Shape of one gulab jamun: A cylinder with two hemispherical ends.
- Total length of the gulab jamun ($L$) = $5$ cm.
- Diameter of the gulab jamun ($d$) = $2.8$ cm.
- Sugar syrup content = $30\%$ of the total volume.
To Find:
The total volume of sugar syrup in $45$ gulab jamuns.
Step 1: Determine the dimensions of the cylindrical and hemispherical parts.
The radius ($r$) of the cylinder and the hemispheres is half of the diameter:
$r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{2.8}{2} = 1.4$ cm.
The length of the cylindrical part ($h$) is the total length minus the radii of the two hemispherical ends:
$h = L - (r + r) = 5 - (1.4 + 1.4) = 5 - 2.8 = 2.2$ cm.
Step 2: Calculate the volume of one gulab jamun.
The volume of one gulab jamun ($V_{total}$) is the sum of the volume of the cylinder and the volumes of the two hemispheres:
$V_{total} = V_{cylinder} + 2 \times V_{hemisphere}$
$V_{total} = \pi r^2 h + 2 \times (\frac{2}{3} \pi r^3)$
$V_{total} = \pi r^2 (h + \frac{4}{3} r)$
Substituting the values ($r = 1.4$, $h = 2.2$, $\pi \approx \frac{22}{7}$):
$V_{total} = \frac{22}{7} \times (1.4)^2 \times (2.2 + \frac{4}{3} \times 1.4)$
$V_{total} = \frac{22}{7} \times 1.96 \times (2.2 + 1.8667)$
$V_{total} = 22 \times 0.28 \times (4.0667) = 6.16 \times 4.0667 \approx 25.05$ cm$^3$.
Step 3: Calculate the total volume of 45 gulab jamuns.
$V_{45} = 45 \times V_{total} = 45 \times 25.05 = 1127.25$ cm$^3$.
Step 4: Calculate the volume of sugar syrup.
The syrup is $30\%$ of the total volume:
$V_{syrup} = 30\% \times V_{45} = 0.30 \times 1127.25$
$V_{syrup} = 338.175$ cm$^3$.
Rounding to the nearest whole number as per standard approximation in such problems:
Final Answer: The total volume of sugar syrup in 45 gulab jamuns is approximately 338 cm$^3$.
