  1. Height of the barrel of a pen, h = 7 cm

    Diameter, d = 5mm = 0.5 cm

    Radius, r = d/2 = 0.5/2 = 0.25 cm

    Volume of the barrel of pen, V = r2h

    = (22/7)×0.252×7

    = 1.375 cm3

    Ink in the bottle, = one fifth of a litre

    = (1/5)×1000 = 200 ml

    Number of words written using full barrel of ink = 310

    Number of words written by using this ink = (200/1.375)×310 = 45090.90 words

    Round off to nearest hundred, we get 45100 words.

    Hence the number of words written using the ink is 45100 words.
