Question:

The height of a right circular cone is 35 cm and the area of its curved surface is four times the area of its base. What is the volume of the cone (in $10^{-3} m^3$ and correct up to three decimal places)?

Options:

2.994

3.316

3.384

2.625

Correct Answer:

2.994

Explanation:

We know that,

Volume of cone = \(\frac{1}{3}\) πr2h

Curved surface area of cone = πrl

Base area of cone = πr2

We are given,

Height of the cone h = 35 cm            

So, 4 × πr2 = πrl

l = 4r

We also know, l2 = r2 + h2

(4r)2 = r2 + 352

16r2 – r2 = 1225

15r2 = 1225

r2 = \(\frac{1225}{15}\)

Volume of the cone = \(\frac{1}{3}\) × \(\frac{22}{7}\) × \(\frac{1225}{15}\) × 35 = 2994 cm3 or 2.994
