Correct Answer: 21 cm
Solution : Volume of a cylinder = $\pi r^2 h$, where $r$ = radius , $h$ = height It is given that the ratio of the volume of two cylinders is $\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{13}{1}$ and ratio of heights is $\frac{h_1}{h_2} = \frac{13}{9}$ ⇒ $\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{πr_1^{2} h_1}{πr_2^{2} h_2}$ ⇒ $\frac{13}{1} = \frac{πr_1^{2}}{πr_2^{2}}×\frac{13}{9}$ ⇒ $\frac{13}{1} = \frac{πr_1^{2}}{154}×\frac{13}{9}$ ⇒ $πr_1^{2} = 154 ×9$ ⇒ $r_1^{2} = \frac{154 ×9 × 7}{22}$ $\therefore r_1=21$ cm Hence, the correct answer is 21 cm.
