    A cylinder, whose height is two-thirds of its diameter, has the same volume as a sphere of radius 4 cm. Calculate the radius of the base of the cylinder.

    A)  4 cm                          

    B)  5 cm              

    C)  3 cm                

    D)         6 cm  

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the radius of the cylinder be r cm. So, diameter of the cylinder = 2r \[\therefore \]  Height of the cylinder \[=\frac{2}{3}(2r)=\frac{4r}{3}\] Volume of the cylinder = Volume of the sphere of radius 4 cm \[\Rightarrow \]            \[\pi {{r}^{2}}\left( \frac{4r}{3} \right)=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{(4)}^{3}}\,\,\Rightarrow {{r}^{3}}=\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{4}{3}\times {{4}^{3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[{{r}^{3}}={{4}^{3}}\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,r=4cm.\]
