A metallic sphere of radius 6 cm is melted and recast into a cone of radius 4 cm. Find the height of the cone.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Volume is conserved on recasting.

Sphere: 43π(6)3=288π\frac43 \pi (6)^3 = 288\pi.

Cone: 13π(4)2h=16πh3\frac13 \pi (4)^2 h = \frac{16\pi h}{3}.

Equating, 16h3=288\frac{16h}{3} = 288, so h=54h = 54 cm.
