With an Option of none of these, approximation of \(\pi\) becomes a problem. This means that we need to take the actual value of \(\pi\) = 3.14.
With this multiplication could be a problem, so we take \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\), which is an approximation.
We have to find the cost of the wood used and the cost of graphite. For this we need to find the volumes used for each as the cost is in terms of \(cm^3\)
Radius is in mm, so conversion to cm should be done
Volume of the cylinder = \(\pi r^2 h\)
Volume of the pencil = \(\pi\) * 0.6 * 0.6 * 10 = 3.6\(\pi\) \(cm^3\)
Volume of graphite used = \(\pi\) * 0.2 * 0.2 * 10 = 0.4\(\pi\) \(cm^3\)
Cost of graphite = 0.4\(\pi\) * 2.8 = 1.12\(\pi\)
Volume of wood used = Volume of the pencil - volume of graphite = 3.6\(\pi\) - 0.4\(\pi\) = 3.2\(\pi\)
Cost of wood = 3.2\(\pi\) * 0.7 = 2.24\(\pi\)
Total Cost = 1.12\(\pi\) + 2.24\(\pi\) = 3.36\(\pi\) = \(3.36 * \frac{22}{7} = 0.48 * 22 = 10.56\)

volume of wood =10 pi [ (.6)^2 - (.2)^2 ] = 10 * pi * .32 = 3.2 pi
volume of graphit = 10 * pi * (.2)^2 = .4 pi
total cost = pi ( 3.2 * .7 + .4 * 2.8) = pi * (2.24 + 1.12) = pi * 3.4 = 3.14 * 3.4 ~ 10.56
