    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 volume

    Radius of cylinder = radius of hemisphere = r units

    ∴ Required ratio = πr².r :
    2
    πr³
    3

    = 3 : 2

    Correct Option: D

  1. 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









  1. 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: A

    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.
