    10 cm
    খ)
    30 cm
    গ)
    15 cm
    ঘ)
    5 cm
    ঙ)
    18 cm

    Explanation

    Since radius of the solid cone is equal to the radius of the solid cylinder and height of the cylinder (h) given is 6 cm ∴ Volume of the solid cone is given by =13πR2h= \frac{1}{3}\pi {R^2}h ∴ Volume of the solid cylinder is given by =πr2h= \pi {r^2}h Since material of solid cone is converted into the shape of solid cylinder ∴ Volume of the solid cone = Volume of the solid cylinder ∴  13πR2H=  πr2h  \therefore {\rm{\;}}\frac{1}{3}\pi {R^2}H = {\rm{\;}}\pi {r^2}h{\rm{\;}} [∵ R = r] ∴ H = 3h ∴ H = 3 × 6 =18 cm ∴ Height of the cone (h) = 18 cm
