  1. The curved surface area of a cylindrical pillar is 264 m2 and its volume is 924 m³.
    (Taking π = 22/7) . Find the ratio of its diameter to its height.
    1. 7 : 6
    2. 6 : 7
    3. 3 : 7
    4. 7 : 3
Correct Option: D

If r be radius of base and h the height, then
Curved surface of cylindrical pillar = 2πrh.
and volume = πr²h.
∴ 2πrh = 264 m² ...(i)
πpr2h = 924 m³ ...(ii)
On dividing (ii) by (i), we get

πr²h
=
924
m.
2πrh264

r
=
924
m.
2264

⇒ r =
324 × 2
m = 7 m
264

∴ Diameter = 2 × 7 = 14m From (i),
h =
264
=
264 × 7
= 6m.
π × d22 × 14

∴ Required ratio =
14
i.e, 7 : 3
