A hemispherical vessel of radius 30 cm is full of mixture to prepare kulfis. Kulfi-moulds are right circular cones of 5 cm diameter at base, having a height of 10 cm. Maximum how many kulfis can be prepared by filling the moulds up to the brim?
Show Hint
To compare volumes, always use the correct formulas and simplify calculations carefully to avoid errors.
Step 1: Calculating the volume of the hemispherical vessel.
- The formula for the volume of a hemisphere is:
\[
V = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3
\]
- Given \( r = 30 \) cm:
\[
V = \frac{2}{3} \pi (30)^3 = \frac{2}{3} \pi (27000) = 18000\pi \text{ cm}^3
\]
Step 2: Calculating the volume of one kulfi-mould.
- The formula for the volume of a cone is:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h
\]
- Given \( r = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5 \) cm and \( h = 10 \) cm:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \pi (2.5)^2 (10) = \frac{1}{3} \pi (6.25) (10) = \frac{62.5}{3} \pi \text{ cm}^3
\]
Step 3: Finding the number of kulfis that can be made.
\[
\frac{\text{Total Volume}}{\text{Volume of one kulfi}} = \frac{18000\pi}{\frac{62.5}{3} \pi}
\]
\[
= \frac{18000 \times 3}{62.5} = \frac{54000}{62.5} = 864
\]
Thus, the correct answer is option B (864).
