A conical vessel of radius 12 cm and height 16 cm is completely filled with water. A sphere is lowered into the water and its sized is such that, when it touches the sides, it is just immersed. What fraction of the water overflows?
(A) 3/8
(B) 4/7
(C) 1/2
(D) 5/9
The correct option is: (A) 3/8
Explanation:
Let radius of the sphere be r cm
Radius of Conical Vessel (R) = 12 cm
Height of Conical Vessel (h) = 16 cm
Volume of water that over flows = Volume of the sphere
