Answer: (b) = 4.63 cm

. Given,

Height of the cone = AG = 12 cm 

Height (h) of the frustum = FG = 4 cm and AF = 8 cm 

△AFC ~ △AGE, so 

\(\frac{AF}{AG} =\frac{r_1}{r_2}\)  ⇒ \(r_1 = \frac{8}{12}r_2 = \frac{2}{3}r_2\)  

Volume of frustum = \(\frac{\pi h}{3}(r_1^2+r_2^2+r_1\times r_2)\) 

⇒ 190 = \(\frac{22}{7}\times \frac{4}{3}\big(\frac{4}{9}r_2^2+r_2^2+\frac{2}{3}r_2^2\big)\)  

⇒ 190 = \(\frac{88}{21}\big(\frac{19}{9}r_2^2\big)\)  

⇒ \(r_2^2 = \frac{190\times 9\times 21}{88\times 19}\)  = 21.47  (approx)

⇒ r\(\sqrt{21.47}\)  

= 4.63 cm (approx.)
