Question:

A cylindrical vessel of height 10 cm has base radius 60 cm. If a spherical vessel of equal volume has diameter d, The value of diameter (d) is _________.

Options:

30 cm

60 cm

90 cm

120 cm

Correct Answer:

60 cm

Explanation:

Given, height of cylindrical vessel (h) = 10 cm and radius of cylindrical vessel (r1) = 60 cm

And, Diameter of spherical vessel = d

∴ Radius of spherical vessel (r2) = d/2

By given condition,

Volume of cylindrical vessel = volume of spherical vessel

πr12h = 4/3πr23

⇒  (60)2 × 10 = 4/3(d/2)3

⇒  d3 = 216000

∴ d = 60 cm
