Correct Answer: 1.33 cm
Solution : Volume of hemisphere = $\frac{ 2 \pi \times \text{Radius}^3}{3}$ Volume of cone = $\frac{\pi \times \text{Radius}^2 \times \text{Height}}{3}$ Given, Radius = 4 cm Volume of hemisphere = $\frac{ 2 \pi \times 4^3}{3}$ = $\frac{ 128 \pi}{3}$ cm 3 Height of the cone = 72 cm Let the radius of the base of the right circular cone be $R$ cm. Volume of the cone = $\frac{\pi \times R^2 \times 72}{3}$ According to the question, $\frac{ 128 \pi}{3} = \frac{\pi \times R^2 \times 72}{3}$ $⇒R^2 = \frac{16}{9}$ $⇒R = \frac{4}{3}$ $\therefore R= 1.33$ $\therefore$ The radius of the base of the cone is 1.33 cm. Hence, the correct answer is 1.33 cm.
