  • A1078
  • B3234
  • C1617
  • D2156

Step-by-Step Solution

The cylinder is cubic cm, and a cone on the same base with the same height holds exactly one third of it, cubic cm. What remains = 3234 - 1078 = 2156 cubic cm, i.e. two thirds of the cylinder. The trap 1078 reports the piece REMOVED rather than what is left; 3234 is the untouched cylinder; 1617 assumes the cone is half the cylinder instead of a third.
