Correct Answer: 6.4


Solution : Given: $r_1$ = 1.6 cm
$h_1$ = 3.6 cm
$r_2$ = 1.2 cm
$h_2$ is unknown (height of the second cone)
According to the question,
Volume of 1 st cone = Volume of 2 nd cone
⇒ ${\frac{1}{3} \pi r_1^2 h_1}={\frac{1}{3} \pi r_2^2 h_2}$
⇒ 1.6 × 1.6 × 3.6 = 1.2 × 1.2 × $h_2$
$\therefore h_2$ = 6.4
Hence, the correct answer is 6.4.
