 r1 = 3x
 h1 = 2y For the second cylinder,
 r2 = 5x
 h2 = 3y∴ 2πr1h1 = 2π × 3x × 2y = 2 2πr2h2 2π × 5x × 3y 5 
 ⇒ 2 : 5Correct Option: ALet for the first cylinder, 
 r1 = 3x
 h1 = 2y For the second cylinder,
 r2 = 5x
 h2 = 3y∴ 2πr1h1 = 2π × 3x × 2y = 2 2πr2h2 2π × 5x × 3y 5 
 ⇒ 2 : 5
-  Water flows through a cylindrical pipe, whose radius is 7 cm, at 5 metre per second. The time, it takes to fill an empty water tank, with height 1.54 metres and area of the base (3 × 5) square metres, is (take π = 22/7)

-  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

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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 2π 2 × 22 
 ⇒ r = √49 = 7 cmCorrect Option: AArea 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 2π 2 × 22
