Correct Answer: 252
Solution : Let the number of cones made be $n$. In this case, the metallic sphere is melted and then cast into smaller cones. So, Volume of Sphere $= n\times$ Volume of cone ⇒ $\frac{4}{3}\pi r{_s}^3=n\times\frac{1}{3}\pi r{_c}^2h$ where $r_s$ is the radius of the sphere, $r_c$ is the radius of the cone, and $h$ is the height of the cone. ⇒ $4\times r{_s}^3=n\times r{_c}^2h$ ⇒ $4\times (21)^3=n\times (7)^2\times 3$ ⇒ $n=\frac{4\times 21\times 21\times 21}{7\times 7\times 3}$ ⇒ $n=4\times3\times 21$ ⇒ $n=252$ Hence, the correct answer is 252.
