Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 18.

A hemispherical bowl of internal diameter 18 cm

Cylindrical bottles of diameter 6 cm and height 3 cm

Volume of Hemisphere =2πr3/3

Volume of Cylinder = πr2h

Radius of hemispherical bowl = 18/2 = 9

Volume of water in hemispherical bowl = 2πr3/3 = (2 × 22 × 9 × 9 × 9)/(3 × 7) 

Radius of cylindrical bottle = 6/2 = 3

Volume of 1 cylindrical bottle = πr2h = (22 × 3 × 3 × 3)/7

Let the number of required bottles = x

ATQ -

Volume of hemispherical bowl = Volume of 1 cylindrical bowl × Number of required bottles

(2 × 22 × 9 × 9 × 9)/(3 × 7) = (22 × 3 × 3 × 3)x/7

(2 × 9 × 9 × 9)/3 = (3 × 3 × 3)x

x = 18
