      Question

      A solid metallic sphere of radius 21 cm is melted and

      recast into a number of smaller cones of height 7 cm and base radius 3 cm. How many such cones can be made?
      A 576 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 564 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 550 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 588 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The volume of the sphere = (4/3) * Ο€ * (r)^3, where r = 21 cm. Volume of the sphere = (4/3) * Ο€ * (21)^3 = (4/3) * Ο€ * 9261 = 12348 * Ο€ cubic cm. The volume of each cone = (1/3) * Ο€ * (r)^2 * h, where r = 3 cm and h = 7 cm. Volume of each cone = (1/3) * Ο€ * (3)^2 * 7 = (1/3) * Ο€ * 63 = 21 * Ο€ cubic cm. Number of cones = 12348 * Ο€ / 21 * Ο€ = 588.
