Question

A container shaped like a right circular cylinder having diameter 12 cm and height 15 cm is full of ice cream. Find the volume of container.

• A. 540 $\pi$ $c{m}^3$
• B. 560 $\pi$ $c{m}^3$
• C. 520 $\pi$ $c{m}^3$
• D. 510 $\pi$ $c{m}^3$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

540 $\pi$ $c{m}^3$

Let number of cones which can be filled = n

Diameter of cylinder = d = 12 cm

$\Rightarrow$ Radius of cylinder =$r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{12}{2}=6cm$

Height of cylinder = h = 15cm

Volume of cylinder = $\pi .r^2.h=(\pi \times 6^2\times 15)=540\pi$ $c{m}^3$
