Answer(C) 2 cm

Solution

            Diameter of metallic cylinder = 2 cm

            Radius =\frac{2}{2}=1cm

            Height = 16cm

            Volume =\pi r^{2}h

                        =\pi\times 1 \times 1 \times 16= 16\pi

            We know that twelve solid sphere are made by melting of solid metallic cylinder

            Volume of sphere =\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

            Hence volume of 12 spheres =16 \pi

                        =12 \times \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}=16 \pi

                        =16\pi r^{3}=16 \pi

                        r^{3}=1

                        r=1

            Radius = 1 cm

            Diameter 2 \times 1 = 2cm
