  1. A conical vessel whose internal radius is 12 cm and height 50 cm is full of liquid. The contents are emptied into a cylindrical vessel with radius (internal) 10 cm. The height to which the liquid rises in the cylindrical vessel is :
    1. 25cm
    2. 20cm
    3. 24cm
    4. 22cm
Correct Option: C

In both the vessels, the volume of liquid will be same.
∴ Volume of liquid in cylinder = Volume of liquid in cone.
Let the height of liquid column in cylinder be h cm, then

πr²h =
1
π × (12)² × 50
3

∴ h =
1
×
12 × 12 × 50
310 × 10

= 24cm
