Q:

A solid sphere of radius 6 cm is melted and re-casted into a hollow cylinder of uniform thickness. If the external radius of the base of the cylinder is 5 cm and its height is 32 cm, find the uniform thickness of the cylinder ?

A) 3 cm B) 1.5 cm
C) 1 cm D) 2.5 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1 cm

Explanation:

Let, inner radius of cylinder be ‘x’ cm.
4/3 π(6)3 = π × 32 (52 − x2)

or, (4 × 6 × 6 × 6) / (3 × 32) = 25 − x2 or, x2 = 25 − 9
or, x = 4 cm
Hence, thickness = 5 – 4 = 1 cm.
