The volume (in cm3) of a wire of diameter 56 cm and length 3 m is: (take π=722)
739200
7392000

Calculate volume using V=π(d/2)2h. Since d=56, r=28. V=(22/7)×28×28×300=22×4×28×300=739200.
Diameter of wire d = 56 cm, Length (height) h = 3 m. Using π = 22/7.
V=πr2h
Calculate volume using V=π(d/2)2h. Since d=56, r=28. V=(22/7)×28×28×300=22×4×28×300=739200.
Failing to convert the length from meters to centimeters (3 m=300 cm) before calculation.
Unit Conversion
The diameter is in cm, but the length is in meters. Convert length to cm: 3 m=3×100=300 cm.
h=300 cm
Calculate Radius
The radius r is half of the diameter d=56 cm.
r=2d=256=28 cm
Calculate Volume
Apply the volume of a cylinder formula V=πr2h with r=28, h=300, and π=22/7.
V=722×28×28×300
Final Computation
Simplify the expression: V=22×4×28×300=88×8400=739200.
V=739200 cm3
D is correct because the volume of the cylindrical wire is calculated as 739200 cm³.
Always check for unit consistency (m vs cm) in geometry problems involving pipes, wires, or tanks, as this is the most frequent source of error in competitive exams.
