Question
The barrel of a fountain pen, cylindrical in shape, is 7 cm long and 5 mm in diameter. A full barrel of ink in the pen will be used up when writing 310 words on an average. How many words would use up a bottle of ink containing one fifth of litre?
Hint:
We find the capacity of the pen barrel, and then find the number of words accordingly.
The correct answer is: The required number of words is 45091.
Explanations:
Step 1 of 2:
Given, length of the barrel = height of barrel, h = 7cm
Base radius of the barrel, r = 5/2 mm = 2.5 mm = 0.25cm (since 1cm = 10mm)
Capacity of the barrel = volume of the barrel
cm3
So, 310 words use up 1.375 cm3 of ink.
Step 2 of 2:
1/5th of litre = 1/51000cm3 = 200cm3
Now, 1.375cm3 of ink is used up by 310 words
200cm3 of ink will be used up by = 45090.9 45091 words
Final Answer:
The required number of words is 45091.
