Answer: Option B. -> decreases by 25%
Let the original radius and height of the cone be r and h respectively
Then, Original volume = $$\frac{1}{3}\pi {r^2}h$$
New radius = $$\frac{r}{2}$$ and new hight = 2h
New volume :
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times {\left( {\frac{r}{2}} \right)^2} \times 3h \cr
& = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{3}\pi {r^2}h \cr} $$
∴ Decrease % :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\frac{{\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{3}\pi {r^2}h}}{{\frac{1}{3}\pi {r^2}h}} \times 100} \right)\% \cr
& = 25\% \cr} $$

Answer: Option A. -> 15 cm
Volume of bucket :
= 28.490 litres
= (28.490 ×1000) cm3
= 28490 cm3
Let the height of the bucket be h cm
We have : r = 21 cm. and R = 28 cm
$$\therefore \frac{\pi }{3}h\left[ {{{\left( {28} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {21} \right)}^2} + 28 \times 21} \right]$$ $$ = 28490$$
$$ \Rightarrow h\left( {784 + 441 + 588} \right) = $$ $$\frac{{28490 \times 21}}{{22}}$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow 1813h = 27195 \cr
& \Rightarrow h = \frac{{27195}}{{1813}} \cr
& \Rightarrow h = 15\,cm \cr} $$

Question 774. The radius of a cylindrical cistern is 10 metres and its height is 15 metres. Initially the cistern is empty. We start filling the cistern with water through a pipe whose diameter is 50 cm. Water is coming out of the pipe with a velocity of 5 m/sec. How many minutes will it take in filling the cistern with water ?
Answer: Option D. -> 80 min
Volume of cistern :
$$\eqalign{
& = \left( {\pi \times {{10}^2} \times 15} \right){m^3} \cr

& = \left( {\pi \times 0.25 \times 0.25 \times 5} \right){m^3} \cr
& = 0.3125\pi {m^3} \cr} $$
∴ Time taken to fill the cistern :
$$\eqalign{
