Volume of the bigger cylinder = π*2^2*1 = 4 π
Volume of the smaller cylinder = π*(1/2)^2*4 = π
Therefore number of smaller Cylinder required = 4 π / π = 4

C is the answer.

ans: B
Volume of Cylinder = Pi*r^2*h
Volume of One = Volume of n ; we need to find n so.
Pi*(2^2)*1= n * Pi * (1/2)^2 * 4
Pi* 4 = n* Pi *1/4 * 4
n = 4

Volume of cylinder = π * r^2 * h

Volume 1 = π * 2^2 * 1 = 4π
Volume 2 = π * (1/2)^2 * 4 = π

Number of Cylinder = Volume 1 / Volume 2 = 4π / π = 4

Hence, C.

Great question

So initial volume = pi r^2 h = 4 pi

Now this has to be filled in cylinders having volume as 1/4 * 4 * pi = pi

4 such cylinders can be filled

Volume of the right cylindrical container is \(π*2^2*1 = 4π\)
Volume of empty right cylindrical cans is \(π*(\frac{1}{2})^2*4 = π\)

So, Total number of empty right cylindrical cans is \(\frac{4π}{π} = 4\), Answer must be (C)
