(a)120
(b)600

Answer
Answer (as printed): D
Explanation
Number of tins $=\frac{\text { Volume of the drum }}{\text { Volume of each tin }}$ $$=\frac{\left(\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{35}{2} \times \frac{35}{2} \times 24\right)}{\left(\frac{25}{10} \times \frac{22}{10} \times \frac{35}{10}\right)}=1200 .$$
