A cylinder of height 4 cm and base radius 3 cm is melted to form a sphere. The radius of sphere is:1. 3 cm2. 3.5 cm3. 4 cm4. 2.5 cm

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 3 cm

Given:

Radius of cylinder = 3 cm

Height of cylinder = 4 cm 

Formula Used:

Volume of cylinder = π (Radius)2 Height

Volume of sphere = (4/3)π (Radius)3

Concept Used:

One figure is melted and another figure is formed from that in this case volumes of both the figures will be equal.

Calculation:

Volume of cylinder = π (3 cm)2 (4 cm)

⇒ π × 9 × 4 cm3

⇒ 36π cm3

Volume of sphere = (4/3)π (Radius)3

⇒ (4/3)π (Radius)3 = 36π cm3

⇒ (Radius)3 = 27 cm3

⇒ Radius = 3 cm 

∴ Radius of the sphere is 3 cm.
