Let the radius of cylinder=x;height of cylinder=h;
y is the length from vertex of the cone to the top surface of the cylinder
y/x=6/1;
Volume of cylinder=pi*x^2*h;
h=6-(6*x);
Volume=pi*x^2*(6-(6*x))
Now to get the maximum volume we have to differentiate Volume with respect to x
6*pi[2x-3x^2]=0;
x=2/3;
Therefore h=6-6*2/3;
h=2;
Volume=pi*(2/3)^2*2;
Volume=8pi/9;

ans is 9pie/4
cylinder will reach its max volume when the height of cylinder will be half of the height of cone....if we consider that,we will be able to see the radius of cylinder becoming half of the radius of cone....volume of cylinder will be pie*1/2*1/2*3

1-h/1 = r/6 h = hight of cylinder , r = radius of cone.(using ~ triangle concept)

h = 1-r/6

dV/dr=0, v= 1/3*pi*r^2*(1-r/6) (V of cone)
r=4 , h= 1/3.

then volume of cyl. = pi*r^2*h = Pi*16/3.
