  1. A hemispherical cup of radius 4 cm is filled to the brim with coffee. The coffee is then poured into a vertical cone of radius 8 cm and height 16 cm. The percentage of the volume of the cone that remains empty is :
    1. 87.5%
    2. 80.5%
    3. 81.6%
    4. 88.2%
Correct Option: A

Volume of the hemispherical cup =
2
πr³
3

Volume of the hemispherical cup =
2
π × 4 × 4 × 4
3

=
128π
cu.cm.
3

Volume of cone =
1
πr²h
3

=
1
π × 8 × 8 × 16
3

=
128 × 8π
cu.cm.
3

Part filled = 1/8
∴ Part remaining empty = 7/8
= 87.5%
