    The maximum volume (in cu. m) of the right circular cone having slant height 3 m is:

    A) \[3\sqrt{3}\pi \]              

    B) \[6\pi \]

    C) \[2\sqrt{3}\pi \]

    D) \[\frac{4}{3}\pi \]          

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Volume of cone \[\text{V}\,=\,\frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}\,h\]
    \[and\,\,{{r}^{2}}+{{h}^{2}}\,=\,{{l}^{2}}\,where\,\,l\,=\,3\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\text{V}\,=\,\frac{\pi }{3}\,(9-{{\text{h}}^{2}})\,\text{h}\]
    \[\frac{dV}{dh}\,=\,0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\text{h}\,=\,\sqrt{3}\]
    and       \[\left( \frac{{{d}^{2}}V}{d{{h}^{2}}} \right)\,=\,-\,6h\,<\,0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   V is max, at h \[=\,\sqrt{3}\] max. \[V\,=\,\frac{\pi }{3}\,(9-3)\sqrt{3}\,=\,2\sqrt{3}\pi \,\text{m}.\]
