  1. In a right circular cone, the radius of its base is 7 cm and its height 24 cm. A cross-section is made through the midpoint of the height parallel to the base. The volume of the upper portion is
    1. 169 cm³
    2. 154 cm³
    3. 1078 cm³
    4. 800 cm³
Correct Option: B


In ∆APD and ∆AOC

AP
=
PD
[∵ ∆APD ≅ ∆AOC]
AOOC

PD =
AP × OC
=
12 × 7
= 3.5 cm
