Direction: Each of the questions below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read both the statements and Read both the statements and give answer

  1. What is the capacity of a cylindrical tank?
    I. Radius of the base is half of its height, which is 28 m.
    II. Area of the base is 616 m2. and height is 28 m.
    1. If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
    2. If the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question
    3. If the data either in statement I alone or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
    4. If the data even in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
Correct Option: C

According to question ,
From statement I ,
Radius of the base = height / 2 = 28 / 2 = 14 cm
From statement II ,
Area of the base = 616 m2 and height = 28 m.
We know the capacity of a cylindrical tank can be found out by using the following formula :
Area of the base of cylinder × height of cylinder
⇒ π r2 × h, where r = radius of cylinder , h = height of cylinder
Now, Statement I gives the value of r and h. Hence, statement I alone is sufficient. Again, statement II gives information about area of the base and height. Hence, statement II alone is also sufficient.
