Question:

The curved surface area of a cylindrical pillar is 264 m2 and its volume is 924 m3. The ratio of its diameter to its height is: (Use $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)

Options:

5 : 7

7 : 3

4 : 1

3 : 5

Correct Answer:

7 : 3

Explanation:

We have

The curved surface area of a cylindrical pillar is 264 m2 and its volume is 924 m3

We know that,

Curved surface area = 2πrh = 264 m2

Volume of cylinder  πr2h = 924 m3

2πrh/πr2h = 264/924

= 2/r = 2/7

r = 7

D = 14

Now = 2πrh = 264

2 × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × 7 × h = 264

h = 6

The ratio of its diameter to its height is = 14 : 6 = 7 : 3
