                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Let the radii of two cylinders are r1, r2 and length of the cylinders are h1, h2 respectively. 
 According to the questionr1 = 2 and h1 = 5 r2 3 h2 3 
 ∴ Ratio of their volume = πr1²h1 : πr2²h2
 = r1²h1 : r2²h2
 = (2)² × 5 : (3)² × 3 = 4 × 5 : 9 × 3 = 20 : 27Correct Option: BLet the radii of two cylinders are r1, r2 and length of the cylinders are h1, h2 respectively. 
 According to the questionr1 = 2 and h1 = 5 r2 3 h2 3 
 ∴ Ratio of their volume = πr1²h1 : πr2²h2
 = r1²h1 : r2²h2
 = (2)² × 5 : (3)² × 3 = 4 × 5 : 9 × 3 = 20 : 27
-  The curved surface area of a cylindrical pillar is 264 m2 and its volume is 924 m³.
 (Taking π = 22/7) . Find the ratio of its diameter to its height.

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum If r be radius of base and h the height, then 
 Curved surface of cylindrical pillar = 2πrh.
 and volume = πr²h.
 ∴ 2πrh = 264 m² ...(i)
 πpr2h = 924 m³ ...(ii)
 On dividing (ii) by (i), we getπr²h = 924 m. 2πrh 264 ⇒ r = 924 m. 2 264 ⇒ r = 324 × 2 m = 7 m 264 
 ∴ Diameter = 2 × 7 = 14m From (i),h = 264 = 264 × 7 = 6m. π × d 22 × 14 ∴ Required ratio = 14 i.e, 7 : 3 6 Correct Option: DIf r be radius of base and h the height, then

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum The pipe can be assumed as hollow cylinder. External radius = 8 = 4 cm. 2 
 Thickness = 1 cm
 ∴ Internal radius = 4 – 1 = 3 cm.
 Volume of the material = π h (R2 – r2)= 22 × 21 × (4² - 3²) 7 = 22 × 21 × 7 = 462 cm³ 7 
 Now, 1cm3 iron weighs = 8 gm
 ∴ 462 cm³ iron weighs
 = 462 × 8 gm= 462 × 8 kg 1000
