1) let 6 as 2 pi *r ..... so \(2pi*r = 6.......... r=\frac{3}{pi}.....\)
so volume = \(pi*r^2h= pi*(\frac{3}{pi})^2*10 = \frac{90}{pi}\)..
2) let 10 be circumference...so \(2pi*r = 10.......... r=\frac{5}{pi}.....\)
so volume =\(pi*r^2h= pi*(\frac{5}{pi})^2*6 = \frac{150}{pi}\)..
greater of two is \(\frac{150}{pi}\)
Answer: C
