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.

Indicate your answer accordingly How many students from institute 'A' got placement?

I. Number of students studying in institutes A and B are in the ratio of 3:4 respectively.

II. Number of students who got placement from institute B is 120% of the number of students who got placement from institute A

III. 80% of the students studying in institute B got placement.

A) None of the statements can be dispensed with B) Only I
C) Only II D) Any one of the three
 
Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

From I No. of students studying in A and B are 3x and 4x respectively.
From II No. of students studying in B who got placement = (4x × 80) ÷ 100 = 16x/5
Hence Question cannot be answered even with the information in all the three statements
Hence option 5 is correct
