A solid S is made from a cylinder surmounted by a hemisphere on top with both its circular faces sharing a common centre. The radius of cylinder and radius of hemisphere are \(x \mathrm{~cm}\). The height of the cylinder is \((20-4 x) \mathrm{cm}\) and the volume of S is \(V=\dfrac{1}{3} \pi y\). Find the maximum value of \(y\).

  1. A \(320\)
  2. B \(360\)
  3. C \(480\)
  4. D \(160\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(320\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The volume \(V\) of the solid \(S\) is the sum of the volume of the cylinder and the volume of the hemisphere. Volume of cylinder = \(\pi r^2 h = \pi x^2 (20 - 4x)\) Volume of hemisphere = \(\dfrac{2}{3} \pi r^3 = \dfrac{2}{3} \pi x^3\) Total volume…
