  1. A cylindrical vessel of height 5 cm and radius 4 cm is completely filled with sand. When this sand is poured out it forms a right circular cone of radius 6 cm. What will be the height of this cone? (Take π = 22/7)
    1. 6.67 cm
    2. 2.22 cm
    3. 3.33 cm
    4. 1.67 cm
Correct Option: A

Volume of sand in cylindrical vessel
= πr²h = π × (4)² × 5 cu. cm. = 80p cu. cm.
According to the question volume of conical shape
= 80π cu. cm.

1
πR²H = 80π
3

1
× 6 × 6 × H = 80
3

⇒ 12 H = 80
⇒ H =
80
= 6.67 cm.
12
