A cone of height 24 cm and base radius 6 cm is made of modelling clay. A child reshapes it in the form of a sphere. The radius of the sphere is :

Solution

Correct Option: 4

Volume of cone equals volume of sphere.

13πr2h=43πR3\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h = \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3

13π(6)2(24)=43πR3\frac{1}{3}\pi (6)^2(24) = \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3

36×24=4R336 \times 24 = 4R^3

R3=216R^3 = 216

R=6R = 6 cm
