The cost of painting the total outside surface of a closed cylindrical oil tank at 50 paise per square decimetre is Rs 198. The height of the tank is 6 times the radius of the base of the tank. Find the volume corrected to 2 decimal places.

Answer»

Let ‘r’ be the radius of the tank. 

As per given statement: 

Height (h) = 6(Radius) 

= 6r dm 

Cost of painting for 50 paisa or Rs \(\frac{1}{2}\) per dm2 = Rs 198

⇒ 2πr(r + h) x \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 198 

⇒ 2 x \(\frac{22}{7}\) x  r(r + 6r) × \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 198 

⇒ r = 3 dm 

And, h = (6 x 3) dm = 18 dm 

Now, 

Volume of the tank = πr2

= \(\frac{22}{7}\) x 9 x 18 

= 509.14 dm3
