The circumference of the base of a cylindrical vessel is 44 cm, and its height is 25 cm. How many liters of water can it hold? (Take π = )
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 3.85.
The circumference of a circle is = 2πr, where r is the radius
So, 2πr = 44
⇒ 2 × (22/7) × r = 44
⇒ r = 7
Volume of a cylinder = πr2h, where r is the radius and h is the height
= (22/7) × 72 × 25
= 3850 cm3
= 3850/1000 liters
= 3.85 liters
Therefore, the cylindrical vessel can hold 3.85 liters of water.
