    12 spheres of the same size are made by melting a solid cylinder of 16 cm diameter and 2 cm height. The diameter of each sphere is

    A)  2 cm

    B)  4 cm   

    C)  3 cm

    D)  \[\sqrt{3}\]cm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Volume of cylinder \[=\pi {{r}^{2}}h=\pi \times \,\,{{(8)}^{2}}\times 2\] \[=128\pi \,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{3}}\] Let the radius of each sphere her cm. \[\therefore \]\[12\times \frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}=128\pi \]\[\Rightarrow \]\[16\pi {{r}^{3}}=128\pi \] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{r}^{3}}=\frac{128\pi }{16\pi }\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[r=\sqrt[3]{8}=2\,\,\text{cm}\] \[\therefore \]      Diameter \[=2\times 2=4\,\,\text{cm}\]
