  1. The number of coins of radius 0.75 cm and thickness 0.2cm required to be melted to make a right circular cylinder of height 8 cm and base radius 3 cm is :
    1. 500
    2. 600
    3. 460
    4. 640
Correct Option: D

Volume of 1 coin = πr²h
= (π × 0.75 × 0.75 × 0.2) cu. cm.
Volume of cylinder = (π × 3 × 3 × 8) cu. cm.

∴ Number of coins =
π × 3 × 3 × 8
π × 0.75 × 0.75 × 0.2

=
3 × 3 × 8 × 100 × 100 × 10
75 × 75 × 2

= 640
