  1. The amount of concrete required to build a concrete cylindrical pillar whose base has a perimeter 8.8 metre and curved surface area 17.6 square metre, is (Take π = 22/7)
    1. 8.325 m³
    2. 9.725 m³
    3. 10.5 m³
    4. 12.32 m³
Correct Option: D

Radius of the base of cylindrical pillar = r metre (let)
∴ 2πr = 8.8

⇒ 2 ×
22
× r = 8.8
7

⇒ r =
8.8 × 7
= 1.4 metre
2 × 22

Again,
2πrh = 17.6
⇒ 8.8 × h = 17.6
⇒ h =
17.6
= 2 metre
8.8

∴ Volume of concrete = πr²h
=
22
× 1.4 × 1.4 × 2cu.cm.
7

= 12.32 cu. metre
