11. (C)

12. (D) The formula for calculating volume of a right-circular cylinder is $V=\pi r^2 h$ . Thus,

13. (B) By applying formula for calculating geometric mean, we have

14. (A) This is an arithmetic sequence with common difference 3, and the first term is 4. By applying, formula for finding the n^th term of an arithmetic sequence we have

15. (D) This is an arithmetic sequence with common difference 5, the first term is 5, and the last term is 5000. By applying, formula for finding the sum of the n terms of an arithmetic sequence, we have
NOTE: There are 1000 terms from 5 to 5000, so n = 1000.
