Solution

The correct options are
A
3 $c m$

C
2.5 $c m$

Volume of cylinder $= π \times r^{2} \times h$
$\Rightarrow 231 = \frac{22}{7} \times r^{2} \times 6$
$\Rightarrow r^{2} = 231 \times \frac{7}{22} \times \frac{1}{6}$
$\Rightarrow r^{2} = 12.25$
$\Rightarrow r = 3.5$
So, a ball will fit inside the cylinder if its radius is less than or equal to 3.5 $c m$ .
