SSC CGL Tier II - 18 January 2025 - Shift I • Quantitative Aptitude • Q12

Find the volume (in cm3, rounded off to 2 decimal places) of a right circular cone of diameter 12 cm and height 5 cm. [Use π = 227\frac{22}{7}]

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 188.57.

Diameter = 12 cm

Radius (r) = 12 cm / 2 = 6 cm

Volume of cone = (1/3)πr2h where r is the radius and h is the height.

= (1/3) × (22/7) × (6)2 × 5

= 188.5714... cm3

= 188.57 cm3

Therefore, the volume of the cone is 188.57 cm3.
