                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Volume of a cone = 1 πr²h 3 
 Again, r1 = 2r, h1 = 2h∴ Volume of the second cone = 1 πr1²h1 3 ∴ Volume of the second cone = 1 π(2r)² × (2h) 3 ∴ Volume of the second cone = 1 πr²h × 8 3 
 = Eight times of the previous volumeCorrect Option: AVolume of a cone = 1 πr²h 3 
 Again, r1 = 2r, h1 = 2h∴ Volume of the second cone = 1 πr1²h1 3 ∴ Volume of the second cone = 1 π(2r)² × (2h) 3 ∴ Volume of the second cone = 1 πr²h × 8 3 
 = Eight times of the previous volume
-  A right circular cylinder is circumscribed about a hemisphere so that they share the same base. The ratio of the volumes of cylinder and hemisphere is

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum  
 Radius of cylinder = radius of hemisphere = r units∴ Required ratio = πr².r : 2 πr³ 3 
 = 3 : 2Correct Option: D 
 Radius of cylinder = radius of hemisphere = r units∴ Required ratio = πr².r : 2 πr³ 3 
 = 3 : 2
-  Three cubes of sides 6 cm, 8 cm and 1 cm are melted to form a new cube. The surface area of the new cube is

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Volume of the new cube = [(6)³ + (8)³ + (1)³] cu.cm. 
 = (216 + 512 + 1) cu.cm. = 729 cu.cm.
 Edge of new cube = ³√729 = 9 cm
 Its surface area = 6 × (edge)² = 6 × 9 × 9 = 486 sq. cm.Correct Option: AVolume of the new cube = [(6)³ + (8)³ + (1)³] cu.cm. 
 = (216 + 512 + 1) cu.cm. = 729 cu.cm.
 Edge of new cube = ³√729 = 9 cm
