  1. The volume of a right circular cylinder, 14 cm in height, is equal to that of a cube whose edge is 11 cm. (Taking π = 22/7) the radius of the base of the cylinder is
    1. 5.2 cm.
    2. 5.5 cm.
    3. 11.0 cm.
    4. 22.0 cm.
Correct Option: B

Volume of the cube = (edge)³ = (11 × 11 × 11)cm³
∴ Volume of cylinder = 11 × 11 × 11
⇒ πr² × 14 = 11 × 11 × 11

⇒ r² =
11 × 11 × 11 × 7
=
11 × 11
22 × 144

⇒ r = √
11²
=
11
= 5.5 cm.
