A solid metallic sphere of radius 6.3 cm is melted and recast into a right circular cone of height 25.2 cm. What is the ratio of the diameter of the base to the height of the cone? |
2 : 3 3 : 2 2 : 1 1 : 2 |
1 : 2 |
We know that, Volume of sphere = 43πR3 Volume of cone = 13πr2h We have, Radius of the sphere = 6.3 cm Height of the cone = 25.2 cm According to the question, 43πR3 = 13πr2h 43× 6.3 × 6.3 × 6.3 = 13 × r2 × 25.2 on solving further, r = 6.3 Diameter = 2 × 6.3 = 12.6 Required ratio = 12.6 : 25.2 = 1 : 2 |
