A Focus of an earthquake is the location where the earthquake begins. The ground ruptures at this spot, then seismic waves radiate outward in all directions.

The focus is also called as Hypocenter as it is the synonym of the focus.

National Housing Bank is a wholly subsidiary of RBI - Reserve Bank of India.

Ans. Let radius of the base and height of the cone be ‘r’ & ‘h’ respectively.

Then volume of cone = πr2h/3 For cylinder, radius is reduced by 4 times = r/4 And,  height is increased by 8 folds = 8h Volume of cylinder = πR2H = π(r/4)2 (8h) = (16/8)πr2h = πr2h/2 Ratio of volume of cone to volume of cylinder = (πr2h/3) : (πr2h/2) Or, Ratio = 2 : 3.
