  1. A flask in the shape of a right circular cone of height 24 cm is filled with water. The water is poured in right circular cylindrical flask whose radius is 1/3 rd of radius of the base of the circular cone. Then the height of the water in the cylindrical flask is
    1. 32 cm
    2. 24 cm
    3. 48 cm
    4. 72 cm
Correct Option: D

Radius of the base of conical shape = r cm (let)

Radius of base of cylinder =
r
cm.
3

Volume of water = Volume of cone =
1
πr²h =
1
πr² × 24
33

= 8πr² cu. cm.
∴ Volume of cylinder = πR²H
= π ×
r
²H =
πr²H
cu.cm.
39

πr²H
= 8πr²
9

⇒ H = 9 × 8 = 72 cm
