Correct Answer: 3


Solution : Given: The right cone has the same diameter and height as that of the right cylinder.
Let the radius and height of the vessel be $r$ and $h$.
Volume of cylindrical vessel = $\pi r^2h$
Volume of cone = $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$
So, number of cones = $\frac{\pi r^2h}{\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h}$ = 3
Hence, the correct answer is 3.
