  1. The radius of a metallic cylinder is 3 cm and its height is 5 cm. It is melted and moulded into small cones, each of height 1 cm and base radius 1 mm. The number of such cones formed,is
    1. 450
    2. 1350
    3. 8500
    4. 13500
Correct Option: D

Volume of cylinder = πr²h = π × 9 × 5 = 45π cu.cm.

Volume of a cone =
1
πr²h
3

=
1
× π ×
1
× 1
3100

=

cu.cm
300

∴ Number of cones =
45π
= 13500
π
