Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

Volume of a cone = \(\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h\)

r = 5 cm

l = 13 cm

Using Pythagoras theorem

⇒ \(13^2 = 5^2 + h^2\)

⇒ \(169 = 25 + h^2\)

⇒ \(169 - 25 = h^2\)

⇒ \(h^2 = 144\)

⇒ \(h = \sqrt144 = 12 cm\)

∴ Volume of the cone = \(\frac{1}{3} \times\pi\times 5^2 x 12 = 100\pi\) cm\(^3\)
