C Correct answer
Explanation

Using similar triangles, the radius r and height h of the cylinder satisfy r/h = (5-r)/h_cone_remaining. With h=2r, height of cone=12, radius of cone=5, we get r/(5-r) = 12/5, leading to r = 60/17. Volume = pi * r^2 * h = pi * (60/17)^2 * (120/17) approx 127.5.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Volume V = (1/3) * pi * r^2 * h. If r becomes 2r, the new volume V' = (1/3) * pi * (2r)^2 * h' = (1/3) * pi * 4r^2 * h'. Given V' = 3V, then 4r^2 * h' = 3 * r^2 * h, so h/h' = 4/3.

A Correct answer
Explanation

The volume of the original spheres is (4/3)pi(1^3 + x^3 + 8^3). The new sphere has a diameter of 18, so radius R = 9, and volume (4/3)pi(9^3). Equating volumes: 1 + x^3 + 512 = 729, so x^3 = 216, which means x = 6. The surface area of the sphere with radius 6 is 4 * pi * 6^2 = 144pi.

D Correct answer
Explanation

The clock loses 16 minutes every 24 hours. From 5 a.m. on day 1 to 10 p.m. on day 3 is 48 hours + 17 hours = 65 hours. The loss is (16/24) * 65 = 43.33 minutes. Since the clock shows 10 p.m., the actual time is 10 p.m. + 43.33 minutes, which is approximately 10:43 p.m. Option B is the closest.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Volume of cone = (1/3) * pi * r^2 * h = (1/3) * pi * 9 * 10 = 30 * pi approx 94.2. Volume of hemisphere = (2/3) * pi * r^3 = (2/3) * pi * 27 = 18 * pi approx 56.5. Total = 48 * pi approx 150.8.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Cylinder volume = pi * r^2 * h = pi * 3.5^2 * 7 = pi * 12.25 * 7 = 85.75 * pi = 269.39. Let radii be x and 2x. Sum of volumes = 4/3 * pi * x^3 + 4/3 * pi * (2x)^3 = 4/3 * pi * (x^3 + 8x^3) = 4/3 * pi * 9x^3 = 12 * pi * x^3. 12 * pi * x^3 = 85.75 * pi. x^3 = 85.75 / 12 = 7.1458. x = 1.926. Smaller sphere volume = 4/3 * pi * 1.926^3 = 4/3 * pi * 7.1458 = 29.94.
