A conical tent has a radius of 7 m and a vertical height of 24 m. How many full bags of rice can be emptied in it if the space occupied by the rice in each bag is 2 m3?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 616.
A conical tent has a radius (r) of 7 m and a vertical height (h) of 24 m
the rice in each bag is 2 m3
Let the number of rice bags be N
The volume of cone = πr2h cubic units
The volume of the conical tent = N × volume of each rice bag
⇒ πr2h = N × 2
⇒ (1/3) × (22/7) × 7 × 7 × 24 = 2N
⇒ N = 616
