  1. The radius of the base and height of a metallic solid cylinder are r cm and 6 cm respectively. It is melted and recast into a solid cone of the same radius of base, The height of the cone is :
    1. 54 cm
    2. 27 cm
    3. 18 cm
    4. 9 cm
Correct Option: C

Volume of the cylinder = πr² × h
= πr² × 6
= 6πr² cm²
Let the height of the cone be h cm.

∴ Volume of the cone =
1
πr²h
3

According to the question,
Volume of the cone = Volume of the cylinder
1
πr²h = 6πr²
3

⇒h = 18 cm.
