A solid metallic sphere of radius $\displaystyle 10 \cdot 5$ cm is melted and recast into a number of smaller cones, each of radius $\displaystyle 3.5$ cm and height $\displaystyle 3$ cm. Find the number of cones so formed.
Marking-scheme solution
\[\begin{aligned}
& n \times \frac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot(3 \cdot 5)^{2}(3)=\frac{4}{3} \pi(10 \cdot 5)^{3} \\
& \Rightarrow n=126
\end{aligned}
\]
