    A cone of height 15 cm and base diameter 30 cm is carved out of a wooden sphere of wasted radius 15 cm. The pre centage of wood is

    A)  75%                

    B)  50%

    C)  40%                            

    D)  25%

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Volume of the cone \[=\frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h=\frac{1}{3}\pi \times {{(15)}^{2}}\times 15\] \[=\frac{1}{3}\pi \times {{(15)}^{3}}c{{m}^{3}}\] Volume of the wooden sphere             \[=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}=\frac{4}{3}\pi \times {{(15)}^{3}}c{{m}^{3}}\] Wasted wood \[=\frac{4}{3}\pi \times {{(15)}^{3}}-\frac{1}{3}\pi {{(15)}^{3}}\]             \[=\pi \times {{(15)}^{3}}c{{m}^{3}}\] \[\therefore \] Required percentage \[=\frac{\pi \times {{(15)}^{3}}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi {{(15)}^{3}}}\times 100=75%\]
