Two steel sheets each of length a1 and breadth a2 are used to prepare the surfaces of two right circular cylinders - one having volume v1 and height a_2 and other having volume v2 and height a1. Then, (a) v1=v2 (b) a1v1=a1v2
(c) a1v1=a1v2 (d) v1a1=v2a2
Length of each sheet = a1
and breadth = a2
Volume of cylinder = πr2h
In first case,
v1 is volume and a2 is the height
a1 is the length i.e. circumference of the cylinder = a1
∴Radius=a12π
∴Volumev1=(a12π)2a2
=a21a24π2⇒4π2v1=a21a2
Similarly, v=a22a14π2⇒4π2v2=a1a22
⇒4π2v1a1=a1a2
and 4π2v2a2=a1a2
∴4π2v1a1=4π2v2a2
v1a1=v2a2⇒a2v1=a1v2
