Expert Answer:
The volume of the cone with radius 'r' and height '5r' 
cubic units
The volume of the metallic sphere with radius 'r' 
cubic units
Thus the total volume of the solid when melted 
....(1)
Given that the radius of the new cone is '2r'.
Let 'h' be the height of the new cone.
Thus the volume of the new cone 
From (1), we have,
