  1. The volume of a right circular cone is equal to the volume of a right circular cylinder. The height and the radius of the cylinder are 9 cm and 20 cm respectively. If the height of the cone is 108 cm, then its radius, (in cm) is
    1. 12
    2. 14
    3. 20
    4. 10
Correct Option: D

Volume of cylinder = πr²h
= (π × 20 × 20 × 9)cu.cm.
= 3600 π cu.cm.
∴ Volume of cone = 3600π cu.cm.

1
πR²H = 3600π

1
× R² × 108 = 3600
3

⇒ R² =
3600 × 3
= 100
108

→ R = √100 = 10 cm.
