A

radius 3 mm, length 3 m

B

radius 0.5 mm length 0.5 m

C

radius 2 mm,length 2 m

D

radius 3 mm, length 2 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`trianglel=(Fl)/(pir^2Y)impliestrianglelprop(l)/(r^2)`
Only option radius 3 mm length 2 m is satisfying the above relation.
