Question
If the right circular cone is cut into three solids of volumes V1,V2 and V3 by two cuts which are parallel to the base and trisects the altitude, then V1:V2:V3 is:
Answer: Option D
:
D
Solution: -
The resultant figure is made of three similar triangles. The height and radius will be in ratio 13:23:1 = 1:2:3.
r1 = 1, h1 = 1
r2 = 2, h2 = 2
r3= 3, h3= 3
Volume will be in the ratio of r\(^2\)h for the three circular cones.
Required Volumes are
V1 = r21 x h1= 1
V2= r22 x h2- V1 = 8 - 1 = 7
V3= r23 x h3- (V1 + V2) = 27 - (7 + 1) = 19
Volumes will be in given ratio= 1:7:19.Option (d).
