QQuestion

The radius of a right circular cylinder and a hemisphere is equal and their volumes are also equal. The height of the hemisphere is greater than the height of the cylinder by

(a) 25%

(b) 50%

(c) 100%

(d) 200%

Exam-ready answer • 01 Mark

Answer

(b) 50%

Explanation:

  • Volume of a cylinder = πr²h
  • Volume of a hemisphere = 2\over 3πr³

Given both volumes are equal, we get:

πr²h = 2\over 3πr³

Solving for h:

h = 2\over 3 r

Now, the height of the hemisphere is r.

The increase in height:

r – 2\over 3r = 1\over 3r

Percentage increase:

1\over 3 ÷ 2\over 3 × 100 = 50%
