Given
Radius of the cone = 12 cm
Height of the cone = 24 cm
Volume of cone = [1/3] πr²h
= [1/3] × [22/7] × [12]² × 24
= 48 ×24 × [22/7] cm³
Radius of each ball = 3 cm
Volume of each ball = [4/3] πr³
= [4/3] [22/7] × 3³
= 36 [22/7] cm³
Total number of balls formed by melting the cone = Volume of cone / Volume of a ball
= (48 ×24 × [22/7] )/ (36 [22/7] )
= 32
∴ 32 balls are formed
