The curved surface area of a cylindrical pillar is 264 m2 and its volume is 924 m3. Find the ratio of its diameter to its height.
3 : 7
7 : 3
6 : 7
7 : 6
Answer: Option
Explanation:

r2h = 924         r = 924 x 2 = 7 m.
2rh 264 264

And, 2rh = 264         h = 264 x 7 x 1 x 1 = 6m.
22 2 7

Required ratio = 2r = 14 = 7 : 3.
h 6

Given:

Surface area of cylinder(s.a) 2*pi*r*h = 264.
Volume of the cylinder(v) pi*r*r*h = 924.

In order to find radius calculate s.a/v or v/s.a which gives the radius value as 7 m.

In order to find height take s.a formula or v formula and substitute the required values to get the height value.
