A cylindrical jar without a lid has to be constructed using a given surface area of a metal sheet. If the capacity of the jar is to be maximum, then the diameter of the jar must be k times the height of the jar. The value of k is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
The capacity of the jar will be maximum if height and radius of the cylinder are equal.
height = radius\ldots(i)
Given diameter is k times the height of the jar.
Diameter radius
height \ldots(from(1))
