Using $$100\piΒ cm^{3}$$ volume of clay, a hollow cylinder of height 20 cm and thickness 2 cm, has been made. What is the capacity of the cylinder?
We can take the hollow cylinder to be made of two concentricΒ cylinders, with the inner cylinder carved out of the outer cylinder.Β
Taking the radius of the outer cylinder to be R, we know that the thickness of the cylinder is 2 cm; therefore, the radius of the inner cylinder will be R-2 cm.
We know that the volume of this hollow cylinder would beΒ $$100\pi\ $$
$$\pi\ R^2h-\pi\ \left(R-2\right)^2h=100\pi\ $$
Putting h=20 and solving the left-hand side, we get
$$4R\ -4=5$$
$$R=\frac{9}{4}$$
The inner radius would beΒ $$\frac{9}{4}-2=\frac{1}{4}$$ cm
The capacity of this hollow cylinder would beΒ $$\pi\ \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^220=\pi\ \frac{20}{16}=\frac{5\pi}{4}\ cm\ $$
Therefore, Option CΒ is the correct answer.Β
