    Volume of cylinder = πr²h = (π × 6 × 6 × 56) cu. cm.

    Volume of hemi-spherical ball =
    2
    π × 0.75 × 0.75 × 0.75 cubic unit
    3

    ∴ Total number of balls =
    π × 3 × 3 × 8
    2
    π × 0.75 × 0.75 × 0.75
    3

    = 7168

    Correct Option: D

    Volume of 1 coin = πr²h
    = (π × 0.75 × 0.75 × 0.2) cu. cm.
    Volume of cylinder = (π × 3 × 3 × 8) cu. cm.

    ∴ Number of coins =
    π × 3 × 3 × 8
    π × 0.75 × 0.75 × 0.2

    =
    3 × 3 × 8 × 100 × 100 × 10
    75 × 75 × 2

    = 640

  1. A cylindrical container of 32 cm height and 18 cm radius is filled with sand. Now all this sand is used to form a conical heap of sand. If the height of the conical heap is 24 cm, what is the radius of its base ?

    Volume of sand = Volume of cylindrical vessel = πr²h
    = π × (18)² × 32 cu.cm.
    Volume of conical heap = π × 18 × 18 × 32

    1
    × R² × 24 = 18 × 18 × 32

    ⇒ R² =
    18 × 18 × 32 × 3
    = 1296
