The volume of a right circular cone which is obtained from a wooden cube of edge 4.2 dm wasting minimum amount of wood is :
A. 19404 dm3
B. 194.04 dm3
C. 19.404 dm3
D. 1940.4 dm3
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
The volume of cone should be maximum
∴ Radius of the base of cone :
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{{{\text{Edge of cube}}}}{2} \cr & = \frac{{4.2}}{2} \cr & = 2.1\,{\text{dm.}} \cr} $$
Height of cone = Edge of cube = 4.2 dm.
∴ Volume of cone :
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{1}{3}\pi {r^2}h \cr & = \left( {\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{{22}}{7} \times 2.1 \times 2.1 \times 4.2} \right){\text{cu}}{\text{.dm}}{\text{.}} \cr & = 19.404\,{\text{cu}}{\text{.dm}}{\text{.}} \cr} $$
