A conical tent with a capacity of 616 m3 has a base area 154 m2. The height of the tent is :
- (a)3 m
- (b)4 m
- (c)7 m
- (d)12 m

Given,
Capacity (volume) of the conical tent = 616 m3
Base area of the conical tent = 154 m2
By formula,
Volume of cone = $\frac{1}{3} \times \text{Base area} \times \text{Height}$
Substituting values, we get :
$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 616 = \frac{1}{3} \times 154 \times h \\[1em] \Rightarrow 154h = 616 \times 3 \\[1em] \Rightarrow h = \frac{1848}{154} \\[1em] \Rightarrow h = 12 \text{ m}.\end{aligned}$$
Thus, the height of the tent = 12 m.
Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
