Correct Answer: 18


Solution : The volume of a hemisphere is $\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$.
Given that the diameter of the hemisphere is 18 cm, the radius$(r)$ is 9 cm.
$\therefore$ The volume of the hemisphere = $\frac{2}{3}\pi (9)^3 = 486 \pi \text{ cm}^3$
The volume of a cylinder is $\pi r^2h$.
Given that the diameter of the cylinder is 6 cm, the radius$(r)$ is 3 cm, and the height$(h)$ is 3 cm.
$\therefore$ The volume of the cylinder = $\pi (3)^2(3) = 27 \pi \text{ cm}^3$
The number of bottles required to empty the bowl = $\frac{486 \pi \text{ cm}^3}{27 \pi \text{ cm}^3}$ = 18
Hence, the correct answer is 18.
