What is the volume of 32 metre high cylindrical tank?

I. 

The area of its base is 154 m2.

 II. 

The diameter of the base is 14 m.

I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer
II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer
Either I or II alone sufficient to answer
Both I and II are not sufficient to answer
Both I and II are necessary to answer
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Given, height = 32 m.

I gives, area of the base = 154 m2.

Volume = (Area of the base x Height) = (154 x 32) m3.

Thus, I alone gives the answer.

II gives, radius of the base = 7 m.

Volume = r2h = 22 x 7 x 7 x 32 m3 = 4928 m3.
7

Thus, II alone gives the answer.

Correct answer is (C).

I think A would be the right Answer because here it's asked about the Volume of the cylindrical tank not about the cuboid.

We have to consider the thickness.
