Modded SAT Question Bank by Abdullah Mallik

The figure shown is a right circular cylinder with a radius of r and height of h. A second right circular cylinder (not shown) has a volume that is 392 times as large as the volume of the cylinder shown. Which of the following could represent the radius R, in terms of r, and the height H, in terms of h, of the second cylinder?

  1. R=8r and H=7h

  2. R=8r and H=49h

  3. R=7r and H=8h

  4. R=49r and H=8h

Correct Answer: C
Rationale

Choice C is correct. The volume of a right circular cylinder is equal to πa2b, where a is the radius of a base of the cylinder and b is the height of the cylinder. It’s given that the cylinder shown has a radius of r and a height of h. It follows that the volume of the cylinder shown is equal to πr2h. It’s given that the second right circular cylinder has a radius of R and a height of H. It follows that the volume of the second cylinder is equal to πR2H. Choice C gives R=7r and H=8h. Substituting 7r for R and 8h for H in the expression that represents the volume of the second cylinder yields π7r28h, or π49r28h, which is equivalent to π392r2h, or 392πr2h. This expression is equal to 392 times the volume of the cylinder shown, πr2h. Therefore, R=7r and H=8h could represent the radius R, in terms of r, and the height H, in terms of h, of the second cylinder.

Choice A is incorrect. Substituting 8r for R and 7h for H in the expression that represents the volume of the second cylinder yields π8r27h, or π64r27h, which is equivalent to π448r2h, or 448πr2h. This expression is equal to 448, not 392, times the volume of the cylinder shown. 

Choice B is incorrect. Substituting 8r for R and 49h for H in the expression that represents the volume of the second cylinder yields π8r249h, or π64r249h, which is equivalent to π3,136r2h, or 3,136πr2h. This expression is equal to 3,136, not 392, times the volume of the cylinder shown.

Choice D is incorrect. Substituting 49r for R and 8h for H in the expression that represents the volume of the second cylinder yields π49r28h, or π2,401r28h, which is equivalent to π19,208r2h, or 19,208πr2h. This expression is equal to 19,208, not 392, times the volume of the cylinder shown.
