∵ Base area of cone = π(radius)2 & Volume of cone = (1/3)π × (radius)2 × height

⇒ The volume of cone = (1/3) × base area × height

Now, Volume of small cone = 12π cm3

⇒ 12π = 1/3 × 4π × Height

⇒ Height of small cone = 9 cm

Similarly, Volume of large cone = 96π cm3

⇒ 96π = 1/3 × 16π × Height

⇒ Height of large cone = 18 cm

∴ Height of remaining solid figure = Height of large cone – Height of small cone = 18 – 9 = 9 cm
