Question:

A conical vessel whose internal base radius is 18 cm and height 60 cm is full of a liquid. The entire liquid of the vessel is emptied into a cylindrical vessel with internal radius 15 cm. The height (in cm) to which the liquid rises in the cylindrical vessel is: 

Options:

27 cm

24 cm

30.2 cm

28.8 cm

Correct Answer:

28.8 cm

Explanation:

We know that,

Volume of cylinder = πr2h

Volume of cone = \(\frac{1}{3}\) πr2h

Volume of cone = \(\frac{1}{3}\) × π × 182 × 60 = π × 6480

According to the question,

The internal radius of the cylindrical vessel = 15 cm

Let the height = H

We know that,

Volume of cylinder = π × 152 × H

According to the question,

Volume of cone = Volume of cylinder

= π × 6480 = π × 15× H

H = \(\frac{6480}{225}\) = 28.8 cm
