    Radius of cone = 4.2cm
    Height of cone = 10.2 – 4.2 = 6cm
    Volume of the toy = Volume of cone + Volume of hemisphere

  1. From a right circular cylinder of radius 10 cm and height 21 cm, a right circular cone of same baseradius is removed. If the volume of the remaining portion is 4400 cm³, then the height of the removed cone (taking π = 22/7 ) is :









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Volume of the cylinder = πr²h
    = 22/7 × 10 × 10 × 21 = 6600 cu. cm
    Volume of the cone = 6600 – 4400 = 2200 cu.cm

    ∴ 2200 =
    1
    π × 10² × h
    3

    ∴ 2200 =
    2200
    × h
    21

    ⇒ h = 21 cm.

    Correct Option: C

    Volume of the cylinder = πr²h
    = 22/7 × 10 × 10 × 21 = 6600 cu. cm
    Volume of the cone = 6600 – 4400 = 2200 cu.cm

    ∴ 2200 =
    1
    π × 10² × h
    3

    ∴ 2200 =
    2200
    × h
    21

    ⇒ h = 21 cm.



  1. If a solid cone of volume 27π cm³ is kept inside a hollow cylinder whose radius and height are that of the cone, then the volume of water needed to fill the empty space is

    Volume of required water = 2 × volume of cone
    = 2 × 27π = 54π cu.cm

    Correct Option: C

    Volume of required water = 2 × volume of cone
    = 2 × 27π = 54π cu.cm
