Correct Answer: 208 cm


Solution : We know,
The volume of a cone = $\frac{1}{3}πr^2h$, where r is the radius of the cone
The volume of a sphere = $\frac{4}{3}πR^3$, where r is the radius of the sphere
According to the question,
$\frac{4}{3}πR^3 = \frac13πr^2h$
Let the height of the cone be h
⇒$\frac{4}{3}π(13)^3 = \frac13π(\frac{13}{2})^2h$
⇒ $h = 4 × 13^3 × (\frac{2}{13})^2$
⇒ $h = 16 × 13$
⇒ $h = 208$ cm
⇒ Height of the cone = 208 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 208 cm.
