Q14 of 47 Page 1

The (3/4)th part of a conical vessel of internal radius 5 cm and height 24 cm is full of water. The water is emptied into a cylindrical vessel with internal radius 10 cm. Find the height of water in cylindrical vessel.

Radius of cone = r = 5 cm

Height of cone = h = 24 cm


Volume of cone = (1/3)πr2h


= (1/3) × π × 25 × 24


= 200π cm3


3/4th volume of cone = 3/4 × 200π = 150π cm3


Volume of water in cone = 150 cm3


Radius of cylindrical vessel = R =10 cm


Let height of the cylindrical vessel = H (say)


Volume of water = Volume of cylindrical vessel = πr2h


πR2H = 150π


R2H = 150


(10)2H = 150


100H = 150


H = 150/100 = 1.5 cm


Height of the cylindrical vessel = 1.5 cm
