Number of cones will be = Volume of cylinder / Volume of ice cream cone For the cylinder part, Radius = 12/2 = 6 cm Height = 15 cm ∴ Volume of cylinder = π×r2×h = 540π For the ice cone part, Radius of conical part = 6/2 = 3 cm Height = 12 cm Radius of hemispherical part = 6/2 = 3 cm Now, Volume of ice cream cone = Volume of conical part + Volume of hemispherical part = (⅓)×π×r2×h+(⅔)×π×r3 = 36π +18π = 54π ∴ Number of cones = (540π/54π) = 10
