    Two iron shots each of diameter 6 cm are immersed in the water contained in a cylindrical vessel of radius 6 cm. The level of the water in the vessel will be raised by      

    A)                             1 cm

    B)                     2 cm  

    C)  3 cm                           

    D)  6 cm 

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

       When the two iron shots are immersed in water, it will displace water equal to its volume. Let the water be raised in the vessel by x cm \[\therefore \]      \[2\times \frac{4}{3}\times \pi {{(3)}^{3}}=\pi \times {{(6)}^{2}}\times x\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[72\pi =36\pi x\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x=\frac{72}{36}=2\,\,cm\]
