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

Radius of ball = 3 cm

Volume of the metallic spherical ball =
4
× π × (3)³ = 36π cm³
3

Let h be the height of the cone. Volume of cone = Volume of ball
4
× π × 6 × 6 × h = 36π
3

⇒ h =
36π × 3
= 3 cm
π × 6 × 6
