Question:A metallic sphere of radius `10.5 cm is melted and recast into small cones, each of radius `3.5` cm and height `3` cm. The number of such cones will be :
A `21`
B `63`
C `126`
D `130`
/113
+ Answer
C
+ ExplanationVolume of sphere
`= (4/3 π xx 21/2 xx 21/2 xx 21/2) cm^3`
`= (3087 π)/2 cm^3.`
VOlume of each cone
`= (1/3 π xx 7/2 xx 7/2 xx 3) cm^3`
`= (49 π)/4 = cm^3.`
:. Number of `2` cones
`= ((3087 π)/2 xx 4/(49 π))`
`= 126.`
