Question
A solid metallic cylinder of base radius 3cm and height 5cm is melted to make n solid cones of height 1cm and base radius 1mm. The value of n is:

Answer

  1. 13500
Solution:
n = number of cones $=\frac{\text{Volume}\ \text{of}\ \text{the}\ \text{cylinder}}{\text{Volume}\ \text{of}\ \text{one}\ \text{cone}}$
$=\frac{\pi(3)^2\times5}{\frac{1}{3}\pi\Big(\frac{1}{10}\Big)^2\times1}$
$=\frac{9\times5}{\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{1}{100}}$
$=\frac{45}{\frac{1}{300}}$
$=45\times300$
$=13500$
