Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Volume of a cone = \(\frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h\)
r = 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) cm; h = 14 cm
Volume of cone = \(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{9}{2} \times \frac{9}{2} \times 14\)
= 297 cm\(^3\)
When half- filled, the volume of the water = \(\frac{297}{2} = 148.5 cm^3\)
