 If the radius of the cylinder be R cm, thenπR² × 8 = 4 × 98π 3 3 ⇒ R² = 4 × 98 = 49 8 
 ⇒ R = √49 = 7 cm.
 ∴ Diameter = 2R = 2 × 7 = 14 cm.Correct Option: BVolume of the material of the hollow cylinder = 4 π(R² - r²) 3 = 4 π(5² - 3²) 3 = 4 π(125 - 27) 3 = 4 × 98 π cu.cm. 3

 ⇒ 9² – r² = 17
 ⇒ 81 – r² = 17
 ⇒ r² = 81 – 17 = 64
 ⇒ r = 64 = 8 cm.
 ∴ Thickness of pipe = R – r = 9 – 8 = 1 cm.Correct Option: AAccording to the question, π(R² – r²) h = 748 ⇒ 22 (R² – r²) × 14 = 748 7 ⇒ R² – r² = 748 × 7 = 17 22 × 14
