A certain rectangular crate measures 8 feet by 12 feet by 14 feet. A cylindrical gas tank is to be made for shipment in the crate and will stand upright when the crate is placed on one of its six faces. What should the radius of the tank be if it is to be of the largest possible volume?
Choose the correct choice.
A) 6  B) 5  C) 6  D) 8  E) 10

Rationale: "ans is ` ` b ' ' . for max volume of cylinder ( pi * r ^ 2 * h ) we need to max out r ^ 2 * h . we do n ' t know what the dimensions of the crate refer to . so to maximize the above eqn , radius may be of 9 , 10,12 one of the base area ( 8 x 12 , 14 x 12 or 8 x 14 ) r is maximum for base 14 x 12 and 12 can be maximum value so r = 10 / 2 = 6 a"
Answer: A
