A dairy farm in Punjab wants to minimize the material used for an open cylindrical milk container of volume 125π m³. What should be the radius?
- A. 2.5 m
- B. 5 m
- C. 10 m
- D. 12.5 m
Answer: B) 5 m
Explanation: V = πr²h = 125π → h = 125/r². Area S = πr² + 2πrh = πr² + 2πr(125/r²) = πr² + 250π/r. S' = 2πr - 250π/r² = 0 → r³ = 125 → r = 5 m.
