A solid consists of a cone on top of a cylinder with a radius equal to that of the cone. The height of the cone is $42$ and the height of the cylinder is $10$ . If the volume of the solid is $240 pi$ , what is the area of the base of the cylinder?

31.42 sq units.

Let the radius = r unit.

We know volume of cone = $1/3 pi.r^2.h$ cubic units

$rArr 1/3 pi. r^2. 42 = 14. pi. r^2$ cubic units.

And the volume of cylinder = $pi.r^2.h$

$rArr pi. r^2. 10$ cubic units.

Now as per questions :-

$14.pi.r^2 + 10.pi.r^2 = 240. pi$

$rArr pi.r^2.(14+10) = 240. pi$

$rArr r^2 = [240. pi]/[24. pi]$

$rArr r^2 = 10$

Now base of the cylinder = $pi. r^2$ sq units

$rArr 22/7. 10 = 31.42$ sq units.
