The question, in short

Compare a sphere of radius 0.5 m with a cylinder of diameter 24 cm and height 32 cm; find how many full jugs the tank's water fills.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Solution · 5 marks

  1. 1Radius of tank = 0.5 m = 50 cm; jug radius = 24 ÷ 2 = 12 cm
  2. 2Tank volume = 4/3 × π × 50³ = 523 598.7… cm³
  3. 3Jug volume = π × 12² × 32 = 14 476.4… cm³
  4. 4523 598.7… ÷ 14 476.4… = 36.16…
  5. 5The jug can be completely filled 36 times
