Question:

The largest possible right circular cylinder is cm out from a wooden cube of edge 7 cm. Find the volume of the cube left over after cutting the cylinder (in cm). (Use π = $\frac{22}{7}$)

Options:

73.5

63.5

87.5

67.5

Correct Answer:

73.5

Explanation:

We know that,

Volume of cube = side3

Volume of cylinder = πr2h

We have,

Edge of cube = 7 cm

Volume of cube =  73 = 343 cm3

When the largest possible right circular cylinder is cut out from a wooden cube then,

Height of cylinder = Edge of cube = 7 cm

Radius of cylinder = \(\frac{7}{2}\)cm

Volume of cylinder = π × r2 × h = \(\frac{22}{7}\) × \(\frac{7}{2}\) × \(\frac{7}{2}\) × 7 =  269.5 cm3

Remaining volume = 343 - 269.5 = 73.5 cm3
