A cylindrical tank has a capacity of 3080 m3. What is the depth of the tank if the diameter of its base is 14 m?
(Take pi = 22/7)
  • A.
    23 m
  • B.
    25 m
  • C.
    20 m
  • D.
    22 m
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

Capacity = 3080 m3
Base diameter = 14 m, thus radius = 7 m.
Volume of cylinder = capacity of cylinder = πr2h. = 3080
22/7 x 72 x h = 3080
h = 3080/(22×7)
h = 20 m
