  1. Two solid cylinders of radii 4 cm and 5cm and length 6 cm and 4 cm respectively are recast into cylindrical disc of thickness 1 cm. The radius of the disc is
    1. 7 cm
    2. 14 cm
    3. 21 cm
    4. 28 cm
Correct Option: B

Sum of the volume of two cylinders = πr1²h1 + πr2²h2

=
22
(4 × 4 × 6 + 5 × 5 × 4)
7

=
22
(96 + 100)
7

=
22
× 196 = 616 cm³
7

Let the radius of the disc be r cm.
∴ πr² × 1 = 616
⇒ r² =
22
× r² = 616
7

⇒ r² =
616 × 7
= 196
22

⇒ r = √196 = 14 cm
