Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
Volume of rectangular tank = L x B x H

= 2 x 7 x 11

= 154cm3

volume of cylindrical tank = \(\pi r^2h\)

154 = \(\frac{22}{7} \times r^2 \times 4\)

r2 = \(\frac{154 \times 7}{22 \times 4}\)

= \(\frac{49}{4}\)

r = \(\sqrt{\frac{49}{4}} = \frac{7}{2}\)

= 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)m
