Question:The number of solid sphere, each of diameter `3` cm that could be moulded to form a solid cylinder of height `54` cm and diameter `4` cm, is :
A `16`
B `24`
C `36`
D `48`
/113
+ Answer
D
+ ExplanationVolume of cylinder
`= π xx 2^2 xx 54`
`= (216 π) cm^3`
Volume of `1` sphere
`= 4/3 π xx (3/2)^3`
`= ((9π)/2) cm.^2`
Number of spheres
`= (216π xx 2/(9π)`
`= 48.`
