    The capacity of a closed cylindrical water tank is 9.24 kilolitres. If the height of the cylinder is 1.5 m, what is its radius?

    A)  1.4m  

    B)         14m   

    C)         7m                             

    D)  0.7 m

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Volume of cylindrical tank = 9.24 KL \[=9240L=\left( \frac{9240}{1000} \right){{m}^{3}}=9.24{{m}^{3}}\] Height of tank (h) = 1.5 m Let r be the radius. Then, \[\pi {{r}^{2}}h=9.24\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{22}{7}\times {{r}^{2}}\times 1.5=9.24\] \[\Rightarrow {{r}^{2}}=1.96\Rightarrow r=1.4m\]
