Question

"A conical solid block is exactly fitted inside the cubical box of side '$a$', then the volume of conical solid block is $\frac{4}{3}\pi a^3$". Is this statement true? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

No given statement is false

Because volume of conical block should not be greater than volume of cube if it is fitted exactly inside it.

Volume of cube is $a^3$ but given volume of conical body is $4\pi a^3/3$, which will be greater
