The volume of a metallic cone is 252cm^3. If it is melted and recasted into 2 similar cones and the ratio of the base radii of these 2 cones is 1:5, find the volume of the largest cone.

A 2cm^3
B.210cm^3
C.242cm^3
D.250cm^3

but..
isnt it the original one is the largest one.....?

In logical sense it is. But in mathematical sence, it should only consider the two newly formed cone.

The vol. of the two newly-formed cone should be equal to the vol. of the original cone, i.e. 252cm³
As they are similar, we can apply the formula V1/V2=(l1/l2)³=1:125
Let vol. of the small cone be V
∴V+125V=252
V=2cm³
∴The vol. of the largest cone= 252-2=250cm³, which is answer D.
