- Given: A right-angled triangle has sides of lengths 6 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm. Quantity A: Volume of the cone formed by rotating the triangle about the side of length 6 cm. Quantity B: Volume of the cone formed by rotating the triangle about the side of length 8 cm.
- A cone fits perfectly (height-wise) inside a 6 cm × 8 cm × 10 cm cuboid such that the entire base of the cone rests on one of the faces of the cuboid. Also, the circumference of the base of the cone just touches one of the pairs of the opposite sides of the face of the cuboid which is beneath it. The volume of the cone is \( 32 \pi \, \text{cm}^3 \).

An individual chooses a transport mode for a particular trip based on three attributes i.e., cost of journey (X), In-vehicle travel time to reach destination (Y), and Out-of-vehicle time taken to access mode at respective stops (Z). The values for these attributes for three modes Rail, Bus and Para-transit are given in the table. If the general utility (U) equation is \( U = - 0.5 \times X - 0.3 \times Y - 0.4 \times Z \), using the Logit model, the estimated probability of choosing Bus is _________ (rounded off to two decimal places).
