    A hollow sphere of internal and external diameters 4 cm and 8 cm, respectively is melted into a cone of base diameter 8 cm. The height of the cone is

    A) 11 cm

    B)  12 cm  

    C)  14 cm

    D)  16 cm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Inner toner radius (r) \[=\frac{4}{2}=2\,\,\text{cm}\]
    Outer radius (R)\[=\frac{8}{2}=4\,\,\text{cm}\]
    Volume of metal of the sphere \[=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{R}^{3}}-\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}\]
    \[=\frac{4}{3}\pi ({{4}^{3}}-{{2}^{3}})=\frac{4}{3}\pi \times 56\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{3}}\]
    Radius of base of cone \[(x)=\frac{8}{2}=4\,\,\text{cm}\]
    \[\therefore \]\[\frac{1}{3}\pi {{4}^{2}}h=\frac{4}{3}\pi 56\](by condition)
    \[\therefore \] \[h=\frac{\frac{4}{3}\times 56\times 3}{16}=14\,\,\text{cm}\]
