Problem 292: (2021 AMC 10A,12; AMC12a, 10)
Two right circular cones with vertices facing down as shown in the figure below contain the same amount of liquid. The radii of the tops of the liquid surfaces are $3 \text{ cm}$ and $6 \text{ cm}$. Into each cone is dropped a spherical marble of radius $1 \text{ cm}$, which sinks to the bottom and is completely submerged without spilling any liquid. What is the ratio of the rise of the liquid level in the narrow cone to the rise of the liquid level in the wide cone? $\textbf{(A) }1:1 \qquad$ $ \textbf{(B) }47:43 \qquad$ $ \textbf{(C) }2:1 \qquad$ $ \textbf{(D) }40:13 \qquad$ $ \textbf{(E) }4:1$
Solution
Exercise 292: Solution
Two right circular cones with vertices facing down contain the same amount of liquid. The radii of the tops of the liquid surfaces are $4\text{ cm}$ and $12\text{ cm}$. Into each cone is dropped a spherical marble of radius $1\text{ cm}$, which sinks to the bottom, fully submerged, without spilling any liquid. What is the ratio of the rise of the liquid level in the narrow cone to that in the wide cone?
