#### Question

Choose the correct alternative answer for each of the following questions

(6) A cone was melted and cast into a cylinder of the same radius as that of the  base of the cone. If the height of the cylinder is 5 cm, find the height of the cone.

• (A) 15 cm

• (B) 10 cm

• (C) 18 cm

• (D) 5 cm

#### Solution

(6) Radius of the cone = Radius of the cylinder = cm (Say)
Height of the cylinder, h = 5 cm
Let the height of the cone be H cm.
It is given that the cone melted and recasted into a cylinder.
∴ Volume of the cone = Volume of the cylinder

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 H = \pi r^2 h$
$\Rightarrow H = 3h$
$\Rightarrow H = 3 \times 5 = 15 cm$

Thus, the height of the cone is 15 cm.

Is there an error in this question or solution?
