Correct Answer: 8 cm
Solution : The ratio of the radius and the height = 4 : 7 Volume of a cylinder = 2816 cm$^3$ Volume of a cylinder = $\pi × r^2 × h$ Let the radius and the height of a cylinder be $4x$ and $7x$ respectively. ⇒ $\frac{22}{7} × (4x)^2 × 7x$ = 2816 ⇒ $16x^2 × 7x = \frac{(2816 × 7)}{22}$ ⇒ $(16 × 7)x^3 = 128 × 7$ ⇒ $x^3 = \frac{(128 × 7)}{(16 × 7)}$ ⇒ $x^3 = 8$ ⇒ $x = 2$ Radius = 4 × 2 = 8 cm $\therefore$ The radius of a cylinder is 8 cm. Hence, the correct answer is 8 cm.
