Quant Question Of The Day: 163
Geometry
An ice-cream cone consists of a sphere of vanilla ice cream and a right circular cone that has the same diameter as the sphere. If the ice cream melts, it will exactly fill the cone. Assume that the melted ice-cream occupies 75% of the volume of frozen ice-cream. What is the ratio of the cone’s height to its radius?
1. 2 : 1
2. 4 : 1
3. 16 : 3
4. 3 : 1
5. 6 : 1
Let r be the common radius of the sphere and h be the cone’s height then 75% of 4/3(πr³) = 1/3πr²h Option (4)
h = 3r
thus, h : r = 3: 1
