SSC MTS - 09/10/2024 - (12:30 PM - 2:30 PM) • Quantitative Aptitude • Q6

Calculate the amount of liquid (in litres) that can be filled into a hemispherical pot having a radius of 21 cm. (Taken π = 22/7)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e 19.404.

Volume of hemisphere = (2/3) × π × r³

Radius = 21 cm, π = 22/7

Volume = (2/3) × (22/7) × (21³)

⇒ (2/3) × (22/7) × 9261
⇒ (2/3) × 22 × 1323 = (2 × 29106) / 3 = 58212 / 3 = 19404 cm³

1 litre = 1000 cm³

So, 19404 ÷ 1000 = 19.404 litres
