  1. The radius of cross-section of a solid cylindrical rod of iron is 50 cm. The cylinder is melted down and formed into 6 solid spherical balls of the same radius as that of the cylinder. The length of the rod (in metres) is
    1. 0.8
    2. 2
    3. 3
    4. 4
Correct Option: D

Let Length of rod = x cm
∴ Volume of cylinder = Volume of 6 spheres

⇒ πr²h = 6 ×
4
πr³
3

⇒ πr²h = 6 ×
4
× r = 8 × 50 = 400 cm = 4 metre
