It is known that the volume of the cone that would perfectly fit in the cylinder is equal is to 1/3 of the volume of the cylinder. In the given above, we do not make use of the diameter anymore. We directly divide the given volume of cylinder by 3 giving us the answer of 7. Thus, the cone has a volume of 7 units cube.
