    The diameter of the iron ball used for the shot-put game is 14 cm. It is melted and then a solid cylinder of height \[2\frac{1}{3}\,\,\text{cm}\]is made. What will be the diameter of the base of the cylinder?

    A)  \[14\,\,\text{cm}\]

    B)  \[28\,\,\text{cm}\]

    C)  \[\frac{14}{3}\,\,\text{cm}\]

    D)  \[\frac{28}{3}\,\,\text{cm}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Radius of the iron ball \[=\frac{14}{2}=7\,\,\text{cm}\] Volume of the ball \[=\frac{4}{3}\pi \times {{(7)}^{3}}\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{3}}\] Let the radius of cylinder = r cm \[\therefore \]      Volume of cylinder \[=\pi {{r}^{2}}\times \frac{7}{3}\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}\] Clearly, \[\pi {{r}^{2}}\times \frac{7}{3}=\frac{4}{3}\pi \times {{(7)}^{3}}{{r}^{2}}=\frac{4\times 7\times 7\times 7\times 3}{7\times 3}\] \[r=\sqrt{4\times 7\times 7}=14\,\,\text{cm}\] Diameter \[=2\times 14=28\,\,\text{cm}\]
