Question

The capacity of a cylindrical tank is 246.4 litres. If the height is 4 metres, what is the diameter of the base ?


Options:
A .  1.4 cm
B .  2.8 cm
C .  14 cm
D .  28 cm
E .  None of these
Answer: Option D

Volume of the tank =  246.4 litres =  246400 `cm^3`

Let the  radius of the base be r cm . Then ,

`(22/7 xx r^2 xx 400)` = 246400

`hArr    r^2 = ((246400 xx 7)/(22 xx 400))`

`hArr   r^2 =  196`          `hArr   r = 14`

`:.`    Diameer of the base = 2r =  28 cm.
