Volume of a cylinder is =πr^2h
where Volume of a cone is 1/3* πr^2h

so its one third of a cylinder volume=1/3*156=52cm^3
Answer is B

Answer: B .
52\pi\text{ cm}^3

Explanation:

We know that the volume of a cylinder is given by :-


V=\pi r^2 h

The volume of a cone is given by :-


V=(1)/(3)\pi r^2 h

If they both have the same base and height , then we have

The volume of a cone will be given by :-


V=(1)/(3)*\text{Volume of cylinder}\\\\\Rightarrow\ V=(1)/(3)*156\pi\\\\\Rightarrow\ V=52\pi\text{ cm}^3

Hence, the volume of a cone with the same base and height as the cylinder =
52\pi\text{ cm}^3
