Write whether the following statements are true or false. Justify your answer : (i) The volume of a sphere is equal to two-third of the volume of a cylinder whose height and diameter are equal to the diameter of the sphere. (ii) The volume of the largest right circular cone that can be fitted in a cube whose edge is 2r equals the volume of a hemisphere of radius r. (iii) A cone, a hemisphere and a cylinder stand on equal bases and have the same height. The ratio of their volumes is 1 : 2 : 3.

  1. (i)Let the radius of sphere be r.

    Then height of the cylinder, h = 2r

    Radius of cylinder = r

    Volume of cylinder = r2h

    = ×r2×2r

    = 2r3

    Volume of sphere = (4/3)r3

    = (2/3)× 2r3

    = (2/3)× Volume of cylinder

    Hence the given statement is true.

    (ii)Let the edge of the cube is 2r.

    So radius of cone = r

    Height of cone, h = 2r

    Volume of cone = (1/3)r2h

    = (1/3)r2×2r

    = (2/3)r3

    = Volume of a hemisphere of radius r

    Hence the given statement is true.

    (iii)Let r be radius of cone, hemisphere and cylinder.

    So the height of the cone = r

    Height of cylinder = r

    Volume of cone = (1/3)r2h

    = (1/3)r3

    Volume of hemisphere = (2/3)r3

    Volume of cylinder = r2h

    = r3

    Ratio of volume of cone , hemisphere and cylinder = (1/3)r3 : (2/3)r3 : r3

    = 1/3 : 2/3 : 1

    = 1:2:3

    Hence the given statement is true.
