From a cylindrical log of wood of 10 cm radius and 35 cm length, a cone of 8 cm radius and 14 cm height is cut out. What is the maximum possible volume of a cylinder that can be cut out from the remaining solid?

  1. 4400 cm3

  2. 6600 cm3

  3. 5500 cm3

  4. 6400 cm3

  5. None of these

B Correct answer
Explanation

The remaining solid is a cylinder of radius 10 and length 35 minus a cone. The maximum cylinder that can be cut from the remaining space depends on the dimensions of the cavity. Given the geometry, 6600 cm^3 is the calculated maximum.
