  1. The volume of a metallic cylindrical pipe is 748 cm3. Its length is 14 cm and external radius is 9 cm. Its thickness is
    (Use π = 22/7 )
    1. 1 cm
    2. 7 cm
    3. 17 cm
    4. 11 cm
Correct Option: A

According to the question, π(R² – r²) h = 748

22
(R² – r²) × 14 = 748
7

⇒ R² – r² =
748 × 7
= 17
22 × 14

⇒ 9² – r² = 17
⇒ 81 – r² = 17
⇒ r² = 81 – 17 = 64
⇒ r = 64 = 8 cm.
∴ Thickness of pipe = R – r = 9 – 8 = 1 cm.
