Diameter of cylinder = 12 cm

height 15cm

Volume of Cylinder = $$\pi r^2 h = \pi(6)^2 *15 = \pi * 36 * 35 = 540\pi$$

Now Height of cone = 12 cm

Diameter = 6cm

Volume of Cone = $${1 \over 3 }\pi r^2 h = {1 \over 3} \pi (3)^2 *12$$

$$\pi * 3* 12 = 36 \pi$$

No of cones = $$Volume of Clyinder\over Volume of Cone$$ $${540 \pi \over 36 \pi} ={ 540\over 36}$$ = 15 Cones
