Given:

The height of a cone = 24 cm ,  circumference of its base 42 π cm.

Formula used:

The volume of a cone = 1/3 area of the base × height

Circumference of its base = 2π × radius(r)

Calculation:

As per the question,

⇒ 2πr = 42 π 

⇒ r = 21 cm

The volume of the cone will be,

⇒ 1/3 π  × 21 × 21 × 24

⇒ 1/3 × 22/7  × 21 × 21 × 24 = 11088 cm3

  ∴ The correct option is 2
