A hemispherical bowl of internal radius 12 cm contains liquid. This liquid is to be filled into cylindrical container of diameter 4 cm and height 3 cm . The number of containers that is necessary to empty the bowl is
(a)80
(b)96
(c)100

Answer
Answer (as printed): B
Explanation
Volume of hemispherical bowl $=\left(\frac{2}{3} \times \pi \times 12 \times 12 \times 12\right) \mathrm{cm}^{3}$. Volume of 1 cylindrical container $=(\pi \times 2 \times 2 \times 3) \mathrm{cm}^{3}$. $$\text { ∴ Number of containers required }=\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{12 \times 12 \times 12}{2 \times 2 \times 3}=96 .$$
