Answer

Length of the roller (h) = 63 cm

Let external radius be R cm and internal radius be r cm.

Girth of the roller = Circumference of roller = 440 cm

⇒ 2πR = 440

2×227R=440447R=440R=440×744R=308044R=70 cm.\Rightarrow 2 \times \dfrac{22}{7} \text{R} = 440 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{44}{7} \text{R} = 440 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{R} = 440 \times \dfrac{7}{44} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{R} = \dfrac{3080}{44} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{R} = 70 \text{ cm.}

Thickness = External radius (R) - internal radius (r)

⇒ 4 = 70 - r

⇒ r = 70 - 4 = 66 cm

External volume = πR2h

=227×(70)2×63=22×4900×9=970200= \dfrac{22}{7} \times (70)^2 \times 63 \\[1em] = 22 \times 4900 \times 9 \\[1em] = 970200

Internal volume = πr2h

=227×(66)2×63=22×4356×9=862488= \dfrac{22}{7} \times (66)^2 \times 63 \\[1em] = 22 \times 4356 \times 9 \\[1em] = 862488

Volume of iron = External volume - Internal volume

= 970200 - 862488

= 107712 cm3

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
