Solution: Let the radius of the base and height of the cylinder be 5x cm and 7x cm respectively. Then,

               Volume =pi r^2h =550 cm^3

                            =frac227 	imes (5x)^2 	imes 7x = 550

Rightarrow                       frac227	imes 25x^2 	imes 7x= 550Rightarrow 22	imes 25x^3=550

Rightarrow                     550x^3=550Rightarrow x^3=1Rightarrow x=1cm

     Hence , radius of the cylinder = 5x cm = (5	imes1)cm=5cm.
