4 The selling price of a Peugeot 308 is $140 000. There are three payment
schemes available. Scheme A and B are hire purchase.

Scheme A: 40% down payment. Interest of 3.2% per annum for a loan of 5
years.

Water was filled into a container, which is made by joining together a

hemisphere on one end, a cylinder at the centre and a cone attached at the
other end. The radius of the hemisphere is 0.5 cm, the length of the
cylinder is 5 cm and the height of the cone is 1 cm. The thickness of the
container material may be ignored. Water was filled to the top of the
cylinder, in the position as shown in Diagram 1.

Calculate
(a) the volume of the water in Diagram 1, [2]
(b) volume of the hemisphere, [1]
(c) the height x when the container is flipped, [3]

(d) the slant height of the cone. [1]
