Solution :

To find the height of the cylindrical vessel, we can break down the problem into two parts: determining the volume of the mixture in the vessel, and then using the cylinder's volume formula to find the height.

Step 1: Determine the initial quantity of the mixture
Let the initial quantity of the mixture in the vessel be V ml.
The initial ratio of milk to water is 4:5.
Let the initial quantity of milk be 4y and water be 5y.
So, the total initial volume of the mixture is:

V=4y+5y=9y

When x ml of the mixture is sold (removed):
Milk removed = 49x
Water removed = 59x

After replacing the sold mixture with x ml of pure milk, the new quantities are:
New quantity of milk = 4y-49x+x=4y+59x
New quantity of water = 5y-59x

The final ratio of milk to water is given as 57:60, which simplifies to 19:20 by dividing both terms by 3.
Therefore, we can set up the ratio equation:

4y+59x5y-59x=1920

Cross-multiplying to solve for x and y:

204y+59x=195y-59x

80y+1009x=95y-959x

1009x+959x=95y-80y

1959x=15y

Simplifying the fraction 1959 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 3 gives 653:

653x=15y

65x=45y

Dividing both sides by 5:

13x=9y

Since the initial volume of the mixture is V=9y, we have:

V=13x

We are given that the quantity of mixture sold (x) is 108 ml less than the initial quantity of mixture (V):

V-x=108

Substituting V=13x into this equation:

13x-x=108

12x=108

x=9 ml

Thus, the volume of the mixture in the vessel is:

V=13×9=117 cm3

Step 2: Find the height of the cylindrical vessel
The total volume capacity of the vessel is equal to the volume of the mixture plus the empty space:

Vtotal=117 cm3+37 cm3=154 cm3

The formula for the volume of a right circular cylinder is:

Vtotal=πr2h

Given that the radius r=0.7 cm and taking π227:

154=227×0.72×h

154=227×0.49×h

154=22×0.07×h

154=1.54×h

h=1541.54=100 cm

Thus, the height of the vessel is 100 cm.
