Twelve solid spheres of the same size are made by melting a solid metallic cylinder of base diameter 2 cm and height 16 cm. The diameter of each sphere is
(A) 4 cm (B) 3 cm (C) 2 cm (D) 6 cm
Answer(C) 2 cm
Solution
Diameter of metallic cylinder = 2 cm
Radius
Height = 16cm
Volume
We know that twelve solid sphere are made by melting of solid metallic cylinder
Volume of sphere
Hence volume of 12 spheres
Radius = 1 cm
Diameter
