In the given figure, a cylindrical wrapper of flat tablets is shown. The radius of a tablet is 7 mm and its thickness is 5 mm. How many such tablets are wrapped in the wrapper?

Answer»

Given: For the cylindrical tablets, 

radius (r) = 7 mm, 

thickness = height(h) = 5 mm 

For the cylindrical wrapper, 

diameter (D) = 14 mm, height (H) = 10 cm 

To find: Number of tablets that can be wrapped.  

Radius of wrapper (R) = Diameter/2 

= 14/2 = 7 mm 

Height of wrapper (H) = 10 cm 

= 10 × 10 mm 

= 100 mm 

Volume of a cylindrical wrapper = πR2

= π(7)2 × 100 

= 4900π mm3

Volume of a cylindrical tablet = πr2

= π(7)2 × 5 

= 245 π mm3 

(No. of tablets that can be wrapped) = (voume of a cylindrical wrapper)/ (valume of a cylindrical tablet) 

= 4900π)/245π

= 20 

∴ 20 tables can be wrapped in the wrapper
