  1. A cylinder with base radius 8 cm and height 2 cm is melted to form a cone of height 6 cm. The radius of the cone will be
    1. 6 cm
    2. 8 cm
    3. 4 cm
    4. 5 cm
Correct Option: B

Volume of cylinder = πr²h
= (π × 8 × 8 × 2) cu. cm.
= 128 p cu. cm.
If the radius of the base of cone be R cm. then

1
πR²H = 128π
3

→ R² × 6 = 128 × 3
⇒ R² =
128 × 3
= 64
6

⇒ R = √64 = 8 cm.
