Correct Answer: 21 cm


Solution : Volume of a cylinder = $\pi r^2 h$, where $r$ = radius , $h$ = height
It is given that the ratio of the volume of two cylinders is $\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{13}{1}$
and ratio of heights is $\frac{h_1}{h_2} = \frac{13}{9}$
⇒ $\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{πr_1^{2} h_1}{πr_2^{2} h_2}$
⇒ $\frac{13}{1} = \frac{πr_1^{2}}{πr_2^{2}}×\frac{13}{9}$
⇒ $\frac{13}{1} = \frac{πr_1^{2}}{154}×\frac{13}{9}$
⇒ $πr_1^{2} = 154 ×9$
⇒ $r_1^{2} = \frac{154 ×9 × 7}{22}$
$\therefore r_1=21$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is 21 cm.
