  1. A solid metallic spherical ball of diameter 6 cm is melted and recast into a cone with diameter of the base as 12 cm. The height of the cone is
    1. 2 cm
    2. 3 cm
    3. 4 cm
    4. 6 cm
Correct Option: B

Volume of metallic sphere =
4
πr³
3

Volume of metallic sphere =
4
π × 3 × 3 × 3
3

= 36π cu.cm.
∴ Volume of cone = 36π cu.cm.
1
πR³h = 36π
3

⇒ R²h = 108
⇒ 6 × 6 × h = 108
&RaRR; h =
108
= 3 CM.
6 × 6
