A patient in a hospital is given soup daily in a cylindrical bowl of diameter 7 cm. If the bowl is filled with soup to a height of 4 cm, how much soup the hospital has to prepare daily to serve 250 patients?
Radius ( r ) of cylindrical bowl = 
= 3.5 cm
Height (h) of bowl, up to which bowl is filled with soup = 4 cm
Volume of soup in 1 bowl = πr2h
= 
* 3.5 * 3.5 * 4
= (11 × 3.5 × 4)
= 154 cm3
Volume of soup given to 250 patients = (250 × 154) cm3
= 38500 cm3
= 38.5 litres
