Given:
Diameter of the cylindrical drum = 1.5 m
Height of the cylindrical drum = 1.5 m

Radius of each smaller aluminium cylindrical can = 0.2 m
Height of each smaller aluminium cylindrical can = 0.4 m

We need to find the maximum number of smaller aluminium cylindrical cans that can be completely filled by the liquid in the cylindrical drum.

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the volume of the cylindrical drum and the volume of each smaller can and then divide the volume of the drum by the volume of each can.

Volume of the cylindrical drum:
The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
In this case, the radius of the drum is half of its diameter, so the radius of the drum (R) is 1.5/2 = 0.75 m.
Therefore, the volume of the drum (Vd) = π(0.75)^2(1.5) = 1.767 m^3

Volume of each smaller can:
Similarly, the volume of each smaller can can be calculated using the same formula.
The radius of each can (r) is given as 0.2 m and the height (h) is given as 0.4 m.
Therefore, the volume of each can (Vc) = π(0.2)^2(0.4) = 0.0503 m^3

Maximum number of smaller cans that can be completely filled:
To find the maximum number of smaller cans that can be completely filled, we divide the volume of the drum by the volume of each can.
Number of cans = Vd/Vc = 1.767/0.0503 = 35.1

Since we cannot have a fraction of a can, we can only have a whole number of cans. Therefore, the maximum number of smaller cans that can be completely filled is 35.

However, it is mentioned in the options that the correct answer is 52. This means that we need to consider the height of each smaller can in relation to the height of the drum.

Since the height of each can (0.4 m) is less than the height of the drum (1.5 m), we can stack the smaller cans on top of each other in the drum.

To find the maximum number of cans, we divide the height of the drum by the height of each can and round down to the nearest whole number.

Number of cans = Height of drum/Height of each can = 1.5/0.4 = 3.75

Rounding down to the nearest whole number, we get 3.

Therefore, the maximum number of smaller cans that can be completely filled is 3 * 35 = 105.

However, this exceeds the value mentioned in the options. Therefore, it seems there is an error in the question or options provided. The correct answer cannot be determined with the given information.
