A certain right circular cylinder has a radius of 5 inches. A certain quantity of liquid fills this cylinder to a height of 9 inches. When all of this liquid is poured into a second right circular cylinder, the liquid fills the second cylinder to a height of 4 inches. What is the radius of the second cylinder, in inches?

(A) 6.0
(B) 6.5
(C) 7.0
(D) 7.5
(E) 8.0

Let’s find the volume of the liquid in the first cylinder:

V = πr^2 * h = π(5)^2 * 9 = 225π cubic inches

Now we can let x = radius of the second cylinder and solve for x by setting the volume of the liquid in the second cylinder equal to 225π:

πx^2 * 4 = 225π

x^2 * 4 = 225

x^2 = 225/4

x = √(225/4)

x = 15/2

x = 7.5

Answer: D

(E) 8.0

Volume of water in 1st cylinder= PI*25*9 = Volume of water in the second cylinder = PI(r^2).4,
we get r= 15/2 (D) 7.5
