    12 sphere are of the same size are made from 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: A

    Solution :

    Radius of cylinder = 8 cm and height =2 cm \[\therefore \] Volume of cylinder \[=\pi {{(3)}^{2}}\times 2\]                                  \[=128\pi \,c{{m}^{3}}\] \[\therefore \] Volume of 12 sphere \[=128\pi \] \[\therefore \] Volume of 1 sphere \[=\frac{128\pi }{12}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{4}{3}\pi {{R}^{3}}=\frac{128\pi }{12}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{R}^{3}}=\frac{128\times 3}{4\times 12}=8\]           \[\Rightarrow \]   \[R=2\,cm\]
