Find the volume of the solid of revolution generated when the region bounded by y=3x², x=0, x=2 and the x-axis is rotated about the x-axis through 360°. [Take π = 22/7]

  • A. 178 unit³
  • B. 180 unit³
  • C. 181 unit³Correct
  • D. 190 unit³

Explanation

V = ∫πy²dx from 0 to 2 = π∫9x⁴dx = 9π[x⁵/5] from 0 to 2 = 9π(32/5) = (288/5)×22/7 ≈ 181 unit³.
