  • question_answer
    The radius of the internal and external surfaces of a hollow spherical shell are 3 cm and 5 cm respectively. If it is melted and recast into a solid cylinder of height\[2\frac{2}{3}cm.\]. What is the diameter of the cylinder?

    A)  12 cm                        

    B)  7 cm    

    C)  14 cm                        

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Internal volume of shell \[=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{(3)}^{3}}c{{m}^{3}}\] External volume of shell \[=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{(5)}^{3}}c{{m}^{3}}\] \[\therefore \]  Volume of metal             \[=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{(5)}^{3}}-\frac{4}{3}\pi {{(3)}^{3}}\]             \[=\frac{4}{3}\pi (125-27)\]             \[=\frac{4}{3}\pi \times 98\] Length of cylinder \[=\frac{8}{3}\,cm\] \[\therefore \] Volume of cylinder formed \[=\frac{4}{3}\pi \times 98\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[\pi {{r}^{2}}h=\frac{4}{3}\pi \times 98\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[{{r}^{2}}=\frac{4}{3}\times 98\times \frac{3}{8}\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[{{r}^{2}}=49\] \[\therefore \]    \[r=7cm\] Here, diameter of cylinder \[=2\times 7=14\text{ }cm\]
