Correct Answer: 13475 cm 3


Solution : The ratio of the radius and height of a right circular cone = 1 :  2.4 = 10 : 24 = 5 : 12
Let radius, $r = 5x$, height, $h=12x$ and slant height be $l$.
$l^2 = r^2 + h^2 = (5x)^2 + (12x)^2 = 25x + 144x = 169x^2$
⇒ $l = \sqrt{169x^2}=13x$
Curved surface area of a cone = $\pi r l$
⇒ $2502.5 = \frac{22}{7} × 5x × 13x$
⇒ $x^2 = \frac{2502.5 × 7}{22 × 5 × 13} = 12.25$
⇒ $x = 3.5$
Now, the volume of a cone = $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$
= $\frac{1}{3}×\frac{22}{7}×(5x)^2×12x$
= $\frac{1}{3}×\frac{22}{7}×25× 3.5^2 ×12×3.5$
= 13475 cm 3
Hence, the correct answer is 13475 cm 3 .
