A barrel of a fountain pen, cylindrical in shape, is 7 cm long and 5 mm in diameter. If a filled barrel is used up on writing 330 words on an average, how many words would use up a bottle of ink containing 1/5th of a litre of ink?
Here, for the fountain pen
Height (h) = 7 cm
Diameter = 5 mm
= 0.5 cm
Radius (r) =
= 0.25 cm
Now, use the formula for the volume of the cylinder. So,
Next,
Volume of the ink to be consumed =
Now,
Number of words that can be written consuming 1.38 cm3 of ink = 330
Number of words that can be written using 200 cm3 of ink =
= 47826
Therefore, 47826 words would use up a bottle of ink containing 1/5th of a litre of ink
