    The section of a right circular cone by a plane through its vertex perpendicular to the base is an equilateral triangle of side 12 cm. The volume of the cone is

    A) \[72\sqrt{3}\,\pi \,c{{m}^{3}}\]       

    B)         \[71\sqrt{3}\,\pi \,c{{m}^{3}}\]

    C) \[70\sqrt{2}\,\pi \,c{{m}^{3}}\]     

    D)         \[69\sqrt{2}\,\pi \,c{{m}^{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Diameter of base \[=\text{ }12\text{ }cm\] and height of cone \[=\sqrt{{{12}^{2}}-{{6}^{2}}}\] \[=6\sqrt{3}\,cm\] \[\therefore \]  Volume of cone \[=\frac{1}{3}\pi \times radiu{{s}^{2}}\times height\]                 \[=\frac{1}{3}\pi \times {{6}^{2}}\times 6\sqrt{3}\]                 \[=72\sqrt{3}\,\pi \,c{{m}^{3}}\]
