Detailed Solution

Given diameter of solid cylinder is 12cm, height is 15cm.
For toy, height of cone is 3 times the radius.
The volume of the cylinder is V=π r 2 h  , here r is radius and h is height.
The volume of the hemisphere is V= 2 3 π r 3  , here r is radius.
Let the radius of the hemisphere is R  .
So,
Volume of the cylinder=12×Volume of a toy π r 2 h=12 1 3 π R 2 H+ 2 3 π R 3 π r 2 h= 12 3 π R 2 3R +2 R 3 6 2 ×15=4 3 R 3 +2 R 3    
 Therefore,
  20 R 3 =540 R 3 =27 R=3 cm  
The total height of the toy,
H=3×R H=3×3 H=9 cm   
Thus, the radius of the hemisphere is 3 cm and the total height of the toy is 9 cm.
Therefore, option (2) is correct.
