Consider the following statements: 1. If the volume of a cylinder is 5π times the cube of its diameter, then the height of the cylinder is 20 times its radius. 2. If the curved surface area of a cylinder is 4π times the square of its diameter, then the height of the cylinder is 8 times its radius. Which of the above statements is/are correct?

Consider the following statements: 1. If the volume of a cylinder is 5π times the cube of its diameter, then the height of the cylinder is 20 times its radius. 2. If the curved surface area of a cylinder is 4π times the square of its diameter, then the height of the cylinder is 8 times its radius. Which of the above statements is/are correct? Correct Answer 2 only

Let the height and the radius of the cylinder be ‘h’ units and ‘r’ units respectively

Considering statement 1,

Volume of cylinder = 5π × (diameter)3

⇒ πr2h = 5π × (2r)3

⇒ πr2h = 5π × 8r3

⇒ h = 5 × 8r

⇒ h = 40r

Statement 1 is not correct

Considering statement 2,

Curved surface area of cylinder = 4π × (diameter)2

⇒ 2πrh = 4π × (2r)2

⇒ 2πrh = 4π × 4r2

⇒ h = 4 × 2r

⇒ h = 8r

Statement 2 is correct

∴ Only statement 2 is correct
