    Let for the first cylinder,
    r1 = 3x
    h1 = 2y For the second cylinder,
    r2 = 5x
    h2 = 3y

    2πr1h1
    =
    2π × 3x × 2y

    Volume of the tank = (3 × 5 × 1.54) cu.metre
    Volume of water flowing through pipe per second

    = π ×

    ∴ Required time =
    3 × 5 × 1.54 × 100 × 100 × 7
    = 300 second = 5 minutes

  1. A solid cylinder has total surface area of 462 sq.cm. Its curved
    surface area is 1/3rd of the total surface area. Then the radius of the cylinder is

    Area of the curved surface =
    1
    × 462 = 154 sq.cm.
    3

    ∴ 2πrh + 2πr² = 462
    ⇒ 154 + 2πr² = 462
    ⇒ 2πr² = 462 – 154 = 308
    ⇒ r² =
    308
    =
    308 × 7
    = 49
    2 × 22

    ⇒ r = √49 = 7 cm

    Let the radius of the base be r metre.
    then 3 × 2πr² = 2 × 2πrh
    ⇒ 3r = 2h
    ⇒ 3r = 2 × 6
    ⇒ r = 4 metre

    Correct Option: A

    Let the radius of the base be r metre.
    then 3 × 2πr² = 2 × 2πrh
    ⇒ 3r = 2h
    ⇒ 3r = 2 × 6
    ⇒ r = 4 metre
