66 cubic centimetres of silver is drawn into a wire 1 mm in diameter. The length of the wire in metres will be
(a)84
(b)90
(c)168
(d)336
Answer
Answer (as printed): A
Explanation
Let the length of the wire be $h$. Radius $=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mm}=\frac{1}{20} \mathrm{cm}$. Then, $\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{1}{20} \times \frac{1}{20} \times h=66 \Leftrightarrow h=\left(\frac{66 \times 20 \times 20 \times 7}{22}\right)=8400 \mathrm{cm}=84 \mathrm{m}$.
