SSC GD Const 2025 (English) - 21 Feb 2025 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q57

A hemispherical tank has an inner diameter of 1.4 m. Find its capacity. (Take π = 22/7) (Rounded up to two decimal places)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 0.71 m3 . 

Diameter = 1.4 m

Radius = 1.4 ÷ 2 = 0.7 m

Volume of hemisphere = (2/3) × π × r3

= (2/3) × (22/7) × (0.7)3

= (2/3) × (22/7) × 0.343

= (2/3) × (7.546 ÷ 7)

= (2/3) × 1.078

= 2.156 ÷ 3 = 0.71 m3
