2. (KP) Can A and can В are both right circular cylinders. The radius of can A is twice the radius of can B, while the height of can A is half the height of can B. If it costs $4.00 to fill half of can B with a certain brand of gasoline, how much would it cost to completely fill can A with the same brand of gasoline?
(A) $1
(B) $2
(C) $4
(D) $8
(E) $16

Let x be the radius of b and 2h be the height of B. Therefore, radius of A = 2x and height = h

Vol of b = 3.14*x^2*2h
Vol of a = 3.14*4x^2*h

cost to fill half of B = $4 --> cost to fill full B = $8
--> 3.14*x^2*2h = 8 --> 3.14*x^2*h = 4 --> 4*(3.14*x^2*h) = $16

B -> pi * r^2*h

A -> pi * 4r^2 * h/2 = 2 * pi * r^2 * h

So, Vol of 1/2 of can B = vol of 1/4 can A

So can A will take 4 * 4 = $16 for gasoline.

Let radius of B be r and A be 2r
vol of B=πr^2h
vol of a=4πr^2h (radius= (2r)) == twice the volume of B

To fill 1/2 of B it cost 4$
to fill B it cost 8 $
to fill 2b ie (a) it cost 16$

Volume of right circular cylinder = 2πr^2h
Let Radius of Can A= 4
Height of can A = 2
Volume of Can A = 2*π*r^2*h
= 2*π*4^2*2
= 64π

Radius of can B = 2
Height of can B = 4
Volume of Can B= 2*π*r^2*h
= 2*π*2^2*4
= 32π

1/2 of B= 32π/2=16π

thus cost required to fill can A = (4/16π)*64π= $16
Ans E.
