In a right circular cone, the cross - section made by a plane parallel to the base is a (A) Circle (B) Frustum of a cone (C) Sphere (D) Hemisphere

A

Circle

B

frustum of a cone

C

sphere

D

hemisphere

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

We know that, if a cone is cut by a plane parallel to the base of the cone, then the portion between the plane and base is called the frustum of the cone.
