  1. A hollow sphere of internal and external diameters 6 cm and 10 cm respectively is melted into a right circular cone of diameter 8 cm. The height of the cone is
    1. 22.5 cm
    2. 23.5 cm
    3. 24.5 cm
    4. 25.5 cm
Correct Option: C

Volume of material of hollow sphere =
4
π (r1³ - r2³)
3

=
4
π (5³ - 3³)
3

=
4
π (125 - 27)
3

=
4
π × 98 cu.cm.
3

Volume of cone =
1
πr²h
3

=
1
π × 4² × h
3

1
π × 16 × h =
4
× π × 98
33

⇒4h = 98
⇒ h =
98
= 24.5 cm.
