A reservoir is in the shape of a frustum of a right circular cone. The radii of its circular ends are 4 m and 8 m and its depth is 7 m. How many kiloliter of water (correct up to one decimal place) can it hold?
(Take $$\pi = \frac{22}{7}$$)
We know,
Volume of frustum shaped reservoir = Capacity of the reservoir
i.e; $$\frac{1}{3}\times\ \pi\ \times\ \left(R^2+r^2+Rr\right)\times\ h$$
given,
R = 8 m
r = 4 m
h = 7 m
Putting the values,
= $$\frac{1}{3}\times\ \pi\ \times\ \left(8^2+4^2+8\times\ 4\right)\times\ 7$$
= $$\frac{1}{3}\times\ \frac{22}{7}\ \times\ \left(112\right)\times\ 7$$
=$$\frac{1}{3}\times\ 22\ \times\ 112\ $$
= 821.33 $$m^3$$
Hence, Option A is correct
