    No. of Cubes =
    Volume of larger cube
    Volume of smaller cube

    =
    (15)³
    =
    15 × 15 × 15
    = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125
    (3)³3 × 3 × 3

    Correct Option: C

    Volume of cylindrical vessel = πr²h

    Volume of cone =
    1
    πr²h

    ∴ Number of cones =
    πr²h
    = 3

    Let Circumference of base = πd
    ⇒ πd = 6π ⇒ d = 6 cm
    ∴ Height, h = 6 cm
    Volume of the cylinder,

    V =
    πr²h
    =
    πd³
    =
    π(6)³
    cc = 54π cc
