QQuestion

The height of a right circular cone is twice the radius of the base. If the height were seven times the diameter of the base then the volume of the cone would have been 539 cu cm more. Find the height of the cone.

Exam-ready answer • 04 Mark

Answer

Let, radius of cylinder = r and the height of cylinder = 2r

If its height be 7 times its diameter, new height of cylinder = 14r

Case – 1: Volume = 1\over 3 2πr²h

= 1\over 3 × 2 × 22\over 7 × r² × 2r

= 44r³\over 21

Case – 2:  Radius = r, Height = 14r

Volume = 1\over 3 πr²h

= 1\over 3 × 2 × 22\over 7 × r² × 14r

= 308r³\over 21

According to the Question,

14\over 3 × πr³ – 2\over 3 × πr³ = 539

or, 4πr³ = 539

or, 4 × 22\over 7 × r³ = 539

or, r³ = 539 × 7\over 22 × 4

or, r³ = 7 × 7 × 7 \over 2 × 2 × 2

or, r = 7\over 2 = 3.5 cm

Given Height is twice of the radius,

H = r × 2 = 3.5 × 2 = 7 cm
