Correct Answer – Option 4 : 8 cm
Given:
Ratio of the radius and the height = 4 : 7
Volume of a cylinder = 2816 cm3
Concept used:
Volume of a cylinder = π × r2 × h
Calculation:
Let the radius and the height of a cylinder be 4x and 7x respectively.
⇒ 22/7 × (4x)2 × 7x = 2816
⇒ 16x2 × 7x = (2816 × 7)/22
⇒ (16 × 7)x3 = 128 × 7
⇒ x3 = (128 × 7)/(16 × 7)
⇒ x3 = 8
⇒ x = 2
Radius = 4 × 2 = 8 cm
∴ The radius of a cylinder is 8 cm.
