Correct Answer: 13 cm
Solution : The height and diameter of a right circular cone is in the ratio 6 : 5. The volume of the right circular cone = $\frac{2200}{7}\ \text{cm}^3$ The volume of a right circular cone = $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$, where $r$ is the radius and $h$ is the height. Let the height and diameter of the cone be 6x and 5x respectively Then, Volume $=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$ $⇒ (\frac{1}{3})\pi \ (\frac{5\text{x}}{2})^2 \ 6\text{x}=\frac{2200}{7}$ $⇒ \text{x}^3 = \frac{(2200 × 3 × 7 × 4)}{(7 × 25 × 22 × 6)}$ $⇒ \text{x}^3 = 8$ $⇒ \text{x}= 2$ So, the height will be 12 cm, and the radius will be 5 cm. Slant height = $\sqrt{\text{height}^2 + \text{radius}^2}$ ⇒ Slant height = $\sqrt{12^2 + 5^2}= 13\ \text{cm}$ Hence, the correct answer is 13 cm.
