It is given that height of the cylinder is twice that of its diameter.
Meaning if height = h, the diameter will be h / 2
Using this we can imagine that when we tilt the cylinder until the water touches the brim.
The height falls to half of its original height since the it was initially half filled.
Using formula
Sin x(angle of tilt) = D / h
D = 1/2h
Sin x = 1/2 ÷ 1 = 1/2
We get, sin x = 1/2
Sin⁻¹ 0.5 = 30°
x = 30 degrees
option A is correct
