The maximum volume of a cone that can be carved out of a solid hemisphere of radius r is

Question:

(a) $3 \pi \mathrm{r}^{2}$

(b) $\frac{\pi r^{3}}{3}$

(C) $\frac{\pi r^{2}}{3}$

(d) $3 \pi r^{3}$

Solution:

Radius of hemisphere = r

Therefore,

The radius of cone = r

and height h = r

Then,

Volume of cone

$=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$

$=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} \times r$

$=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{3}$ (unit) $^{3}$

Hence, the correct answer is choice (b).
