  • A 7cm
  • B 14cm
  • C 28cm
  • D 98cm
  • E 196cm
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
1/3 πr\(^2\) x 9 = 1848
3 x πr2 = 1848 r2 = 1848/3 x 7/22 r = 14
\(\text{Volume of a cone} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h\)
\(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times r^2 \times 9 = 1848\)
\(r^2 = \frac{1848 \times 7}{22 \times 3}\)
\(r^2 = 196 \therefore r = 14cm\)
