    A cone-shaped cup has a circular top of radius 55 cm, a perpendicular height of 1212 cm and a slant height of 1313 cm. Formulae: volume of a cone =13πr2h=\frac13\pi r^2h; curved surface area of a cone =πrl=\pi rl; volume of a sphere =43πr3=\frac43\pi r^3.
    (a)
    (i) Find the volume of the cup.
    (ii) The cup is filled with orange juice, which is then poured into a cylindrical glass of radius
    44 cm. Find the depth of juice in the glass.
    (iii) Find the curved surface area of the cup.
    [6 marks]
    (b)
    A shop fills each cup level with ice cream and puts a spherical scoop of radius 33 cm on top. Ice cream is bought in 55 litre tubs (11 litre =1000=1000 cm3^3).
    (i) Find the volume of the spherical scoop.

    (ii) Find the total volume of ice cream in one serving.

    (iii) Find the number of complete servings that can be made from one tub, justifying your answer.
