A cone is 14cm deep and the base radius is 41/2cm. Calculate the volume of water that is exactly half the volume of the cone.[Take π = 22/7]

A.

49.5cm3

B.

99cm3

C.

148.5cm3

D.

297cm3

E.

445.5cm3

Correct answer is C

Volume of a cone = \(\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h\)

r = 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) cm; h = 14 cm

Volume of cone = \(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{9}{2} \times \frac{9}{2} \times 14\)

= 297 cm\(^3\)

When half- filled, the volume of the water = \(\frac{297}{2} = 148.5 cm^3\)
