Answer

Given,

A solid metallic cylinder is melted and formed into identical solid cones.

Let no. of cones formed be n.

As, radius and height of cones formed is equal to the cylinder.

Let radius of cylinder and cone be r units, height of cylinder and cone be h units.

∴ Volume of cylinder = n × Volume of each cone

⇒ πr2h = n × 13πr2h\dfrac{1}{3}πr^2h

⇒ n = 3πr2hπr2h\dfrac{3πr^2h}{πr^2h} = 3.

Hence, Option 1 is the correct option.
