When I attempted this question, I thought I miffed, because my answer lacked R and r! Even after seeing the solution, I still can’t intuit why the napkin ring’s volume is independent of R and r. Before attempting any paperwork, how can a student forefeel that the napkin ring’s volume shall be independent of R and r ?
