Correct Answer: $5\sqrt{15}\text{ cm}$
Solution : Given: Curved surface area of sphere = curved surface area of cone Height of cone = 40 cm Radius of cone = 30 cm The slant height $l$ of the cone = $\sqrt{h^2+r^2}$ So, $l=\sqrt{(40)^2+(30)^2}=\sqrt{1600+900}=\sqrt{2500}= 50\text{ cm}$ The curved surface area of the cone = $\pi rl$ $=\pi\times 30 \times 50=1500\pi \text{ cm}^2$ According to the question, Curved surface area of sphere = curved surface area of cone $4\pi r^2=1500\pi$ $⇒r=\sqrt{375}$ $⇒r=5\sqrt{15}\text{ cm}$ Hence, the correct answer is $5\sqrt{15}\text{ cm}$.
