Detailed Solution

Given that the base radius of the dome is 1 3   of the total height of the building and the building contains 67 1 21   m 3   of air.
Question ImageWe have the following formulae,
Volume of cylinder =π r 2 h  
Volume of hemisphere = 2 3 π r 3  
Radius of dome will be,
= 1 3 ×H   Total height of the building
r= H 3 h=Hr =H H 3 = 2H 3  
The volume of the air inside the building = volume of air inside the done + volume of air inside the cylinder
= 2 3 ×π× H 3 3 +π× H 3 2 × 2 3 H = 2 3 π× H 3 27 +π× H 2 9 × 2H 3 = 8π H 3 81 m 2  
The height of the building will be,
67 1 21 m 3 = 8π H 3 81 67 1 21 = 8π H 3 81 H 3 = 67×21+1 21 × 81×7 8×22 H 3 =216 H=6   
Thus, the height of the building is 6m.
Therefore the correct option is 1.
