    A sphere is cut into two hemispheres. One of them is used as bowl. It takes 8 bowlfuls of this to fill a conical vessel of height 12 cm and radius 6 cm. The radius of the sphere (in centimetre) will be

    A)  3                    

    B)  2

    C)  4                

    D)       6

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Volume of conical vessels \[=\frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h\] \[=\frac{1}{3}\times \pi \times 6\times 6\times 12\] \[=144\,\pi \,cu.cm.\] If the radius of sphere be R cm. then \[8\times \frac{2}{3}\pi {{R}^{3}}=144\pi \] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[{{R}^{3}}=\frac{144\times 3}{8\times 2}\]             \[=9\times 3=3\times 3\times 3\] \[\therefore \]    \[R=\sqrt[3]{3\times 3\times 3}=3cm.\]
