Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Volume of a solid cylinder = Base area x height
Base area \(=\pi r^2 =\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{2}\times \frac{7}{2} = \frac{77}{2}\)
Volume of a solid cylinder = \(\frac{77}{2}\times \frac{7}{1} = \frac{539}{2}cm^3\\
=269.5cm^3\)
Volume of a solid cylinder = Base area x height
Base area \(=\pi r^2 =\frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{2}\times \frac{7}{2} = \frac{77}{2}\)
