A hemispherical bowl is 176 cm round the brim. Supposing it to be half full, how many peoples may be served from it in hemispherical glasses 4 cm in diameter at the top?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

From 2πR=1762\pi R = 176 with π=22/7\pi = 22/7, the bowl radius is R=28R = 28 cm. Liquid available is half the hemisphere, i.e. (1/2)(2/3)πR3=(1/3)πR3(1/2)(2/3)\pi R^3 = (1/3)\pi R^3.

Each glass holds (2/3)πr3(2/3)\pi r^3 with r=2r = 2 cm.

Number =R3/(2r3)=21952/16=1372= R^3/(2r^3) = 21952/16 = 1372.
