Answer:

D/t>20

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take

D =Diameter of thin cylinder

t =Thickness of thin cylinder

So a cylinder is called thin cylinder if the ratio of diameter to the thickness is greater than 20 (D/t>20 ).

But on the other hand a cylinder is called thick cylinder is ratio of thickness to the diameter is greater than 20 (t/D>20 ).

So the governing ratio of thin walled cylinder is 20.
