    A hemispherical bowl is filled to the brim with a beverage. The contents of the bowl are transferred into a cylindrical vessel whose radius is 50% more than its height. If the diameter is same for both the bowl and the cylinder, then the amount of the beverage that can be poured from the bowl into the cylindrical vessel is ____.

    A) \[66\frac{2}{3}%\]                    

    B) \[78\frac{1}{2}%\]        

    C)         100%              

    D)         None of these               

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let radius of hemispherical bowl and cylindrical vessel be r. Also, r = 50% more than h \[\Rightarrow \]r = 50% of h + h \[\Rightarrow \]\[r=\frac{3h}{2}\]                                                ? (i) Now, volume of bowl \[({{V}_{1}})\,=\frac{2}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}\]             ?(ii) and volume of vessel \[({{V}_{2}})=\pi {{r}^{2}}h\]                              ?(iii) Dividing eqn. (iii) by (ii), we get \[\frac{{{V}_{1}}}{{{V}_{2}}}=\frac{\frac{2}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}}{\pi {{r}^{2}}h}=\frac{2r}{3h}=\frac{2}{3h}\left( \frac{3h}{2} \right)\]                               [by (i)] = 1             \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{V}_{1}}={{V}_{2}}\] \[\therefore \]Volume of bowl = Volume of vessel The amount of beverage that can be poured into vessel is 100%
