A solid cylinder made of wax is of base radius 6 centimetres and height 12 centimetres. A cone of same radius and height is carved out from this.
(a) What is the volume of this cone?
(b) How many candles of cylindrical shape of 1 centimetre radius and 12 height can be made with the remaining wax?

Solution

(a) Volume of cone =13πr2h=13π(6)212=144πcm3
(b) Volume of cylinder =πr2h=π(6)212=432πcm3
Volume of remaining wax =432π144π=288πcm3
Volume of one candle =πr2h=π×12×12=12πcm3
Thus, number of candles =288π12π=24
Thus, number of candles is 24.
