    Question

    A cylindrical tub of radius 8cm contains water up to a

    depth of 15cm. A spherical iron ball is dropped into the tub and thus the level of water is raised by 4.50cm. What is the diameter of the iron ball?
    A 6 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 18 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Volume of ball = volume raised water = π (8)2 4.50 Now, 4/3 π r3 = π × 64 × 4.50 r3 = 16 x 4.50 x 3 = 216 r = 6 cm Diameter of iron ball = 2(6cm) = 12 cm
