Data Sufficiency Question 57

  1. What is the volume of right circular cylinder (in $cm^{3}$.) ?

I. The curved surface area of the cylinder is $3168 cm^{2}$.

II. The height of the cylinder is equal to the height of the right circular cone whose volume is $1232 cm^{3}$ and radius is $7 cm$.

Show Answer

Correct Answer: 57. (5)

Solution: 57. (5) From statement I,

$2 \pi r h=3168 \ldots$ (i)

From statement II,

$\frac{1}{3} \pi \mathrm{R}^{2} \mathrm{~h}=1232$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7 h=1232$

$\Rightarrow h=\frac{1232 \times 3}{22 \times 7}=24 \mathrm{~cm}$.

From equation (i),

$2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r \times 24=3168$

$\Rightarrow r=\frac{3168 \times 7}{2 \times 22 \times 24}=21 \mathrm{~cm}$.

$\therefore$ Volume of cylinder

$=\frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times 21 \times 24$

$=33264$ cu.cm.
