Some solid metallic right circular cones, each with radius of the base 3 cm and height 4 cm, are melted to form a solid sphere of radius 6 cm. The number of right circular cones is :
A. 6
B. 12
C. 24
D. 48
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Volume of sphere :$$\eqalign{ & = \left( {\frac{4}{3}\pi \times {6^3}} \right){\text{c}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}} \cr & = \left( {288\pi } \right){\text{c}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}} \cr} $$
Volume of each cone :
$$\eqalign{ & = \left( {\frac{1}{3}\pi \times {3^2} \times 4} \right){\text{c}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}} \cr & = \left( {12\pi } \right){\text{c}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}} \cr} $$
∴ Number of cone :
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{{288\pi }}{{12\pi }} \cr & = 24 \cr} $$
