  1. An inverted conical shaped vessel is filled with water to its brim. The height of the vessel is 8 cm and radius of the open end is 5 cm. When a few solid spherical metallic balls each of radius 1/2 cm are dropped in the vessel, 25% water is overflowed. The number of balls is :
    1. 100
    2. 400
    3. 200
    4. 150
Correct Option: A
