      A solid right circular cone of radius 8 cm and height 4

      cm is melted and recast into a solid sphere. What is the radius of the sphere (in cm)?
      A 5 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 3 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 3 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 4 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Volume of cone = (1/3)πr²h = (1/3)π × 8² × 4 = (1/3)π × 64 × 4 = (256/3)π. Volume of sphere = (4/3)πR³. Equate: (4/3)πR³ = (256/3)π ⇒ 4R³ = 256 ⇒ R³ = 64 ⇒ R = 4 cm.
