Twelve solid spheres of the same size are made by melting a solid metallic cylinder of base diameter 2 cm and height 16 cm. The diameter of each sphere is1. 4 cm2. 2 cm3. 3 cm4. 6 cm

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 2 cm

Given

Diameter of base of cylinder = 2 cm

Height of cylinder = 16 cm

Formula used

Volume of sphere = (4/3)πr3, where r is the radius of the sphere

Volume of Cylinder = πR2h, where R is the radius of circular base and h is the height of cylinder

Calculation

Radius of base of cylinder = 1 cm

Volume of cylinder = πR2h

⇒ π(1)2(16) = 16π

Volume of 12 spheres = 12 × (4/3)πr3

⇒ 16πr3

 Volume of cylinder = volume of 12 spheres 

⇒ 16π = 16πr3

⇒ r3 = 1

⇒ r = 1 cm

∴ Diameter = 2 × radius = 2 × 1 = 2 cm
