A container in the shape of a frustum of a cone having diameters of its two circular faces as 35 cm and 30 cm and vertical height 14 cm, is completely filled with oil. If each cm 3 of oil has mass 1.2 g, then find the cost of oil in the container if it costs 40 per kg.

Solution
given data
Diameter of top of container = 35 cm
Radius of top = R = 35/2 = 17.5 cm
Diameter of bottom of container = 30 cm
Radius of bottom = r = 30/2 = 15 cm
1 cm3 of oil = 1.2g of oil
Cost of 1 kg oil = Rs. 40
Height of frustum = h = 14 cm
Volume of frustum of cone = [1/3] π h(R2 + r2 + Rr)
=[ 1/3] * [22/7] * 14(17.52 + 152 + [17.5 * 15])
= [22/3] * 2 * 793.75
= 34925/3
= 11641.667
Volume of oil in container = 11641.667 cm3
11641.667 × 1.2 g = 13970.0004 g or 13.970 kg (1000 g = 1 kg)
Cost of 13.970 kg oil = Rs. 20 x 13.970
Cost of 13.970 kg oil = Rs. 558.80
∴ Cost of 13.970 kg oil Rs. 558.80
