    Question

    A few lead spheres of diameter 6 cm are dropped into a cylindrical beaker containing some water such that they are fully submerged. If the diameter of the beaker is 9 cm and the water level has risen y 32 cm, find the number of lead spheres dropped into the beaker.

    A.

    18

    B.

    15

    C.

    16

    D.

    14

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    The radius of the sphere is 3 cm

    Radius & height of cylinder are 4.5 cm & 32cm

    Formula used:

    The volume of sphere = 4/3πr³

    The volume of cylinder = πr²h

    Solution:

    The volume of sphere inserted = volume of water risen in beaker

    Radius of sphere = 6/2= 3 cm

    Radius of cylinder = 9/2 = 4.5

    So,

    (4/3)π × (3)³ × Number of sphere =  π (4.5) × (4.5) × 32

    => Number of sphere = 18

    Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
