Sphere of radius r=3 cm Let b,h be base radius and height of cone respectively. So, volume of cone =21πb2h 
In right angled △ABC by Pythagoras theorem ⇒∴(h−r)2+b2=r2b2=r2−(h−r)2=r2−(h2−2hr+r2)=2hr−h2 Volume (v)31πh[2hr−h2]=31[2hr2−h3]dhdv=31[4hr−3h2]=0⇒h(4r−3h)=0dh2d2v=31[4r−6h] At h=34r,dh2d2v=31[4r−34r×6]=31[4r−8r<]0 ⇒ maximum volume ocurs at h =34r=34×3=4 cm As from (1), (h−r)2+b2=r2 ⇒b2=2hr−h2=2⋅34rr−916r2 =38r2−916r2=9(24−16)r2=98r2⇒b=322r=22 cm Therefore curved surface area =πbl=πbh2+r2=π2242+8=83πcm2
