  1. Given internal diameter of hollow sphere = 4 cm

    Internal radius, r = 4/2 = 2 cm

    External diameter = 8 cm

    External radius, R = 8/2 = 4 cm

    Volume of the hollow sphere, V = (4/3)(R3-r3)

    V = (4/3)×(43-23)

    V = (4/3)×(64-8)

    V = (4/3)×56

    Base diameter of the cone = 8 cm

    Radius, r = 8/2 = 4 cm

    Volume of cone = (1/3)r2h

    = (1/3)×4×h

    = (16/3)×h

    Since sphere is melted and changed into a cone, their volumes remain same.

    (4/3)×56 = (16/3)×h

    h = 4×56/16

    h = 14 cm

    Hence the height of the cone is 14 cm.
