Question

A soft drink is sold in aluminum cans of cylindrical shape that measure 6 inches in height and 2 inches in diameter. How much soda is filled if 10% of capacity is empty? (in cu in)

• A. 16.95
• B. 24
• C. 18.82
• D. 12.86

Answer 1

The correct option is A 16.95

Volume of cylindrical can,
$V=\pi r^{2}h=3.14\times {\left(\frac{2}{2}\right)}^2\times 6=18.84cuin$

Given, 10% of total volume is air.
$⟹\text{Amount of soda}=\left(18.84\right)-(\frac{10}{100}\times 18.84)=16.956cuin$
