    Question

    20 identical solid hemispheres of radius 3 cm are melted

    to form a big solid hemisphere. What is the radius (in cm) of the biggest hemisphere formed, if 20% of the solid is wasted during the process?
    A 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6 ³√2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3√2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Given: Radius = 3 cm 20 hemispheres 20% wasted → 80% used Volume of 1 small hemisphere = (2/3)π(3³) = 18π Total volume = 20 × 18π = 360π Used volume = 360π × 0.8 = 288π Volume of big hemisphere = (2/3)πR³ = 288π ⇒ (2/3)R³ = 288 ⇒ R³ = 432 ⇒ R = ∛432 So, 432 = 6³ × 2 ⇒ ∛432 = 6∛2
