Write 'True' or 'False' and justify your answer:
The volume of the frustum of a cone is $\frac{1}{3} \pi h[r_{1}^{2} + r_{2}^{2}-r_{1} r_{2}],$ where $h$ is the vertical height of the frustum and $r_{1}, r_{2}$ are the radii of the ends.

(B) False.
The correct formula for the volume of the frustum of a cone is $V = \frac{1}{3} \pi h(r_{1}^{2} + r_{2}^{2} + r_{1}r_{2}),$ where $h$ is the vertical height of the frustum and $r_{1}, r_{2}$ are the radii of the circular ends. The given expression contains a negative sign instead of a positive sign for the term $r_{1}r_{2}$.

Shanta runs an industry in a shed which is in the shape of a cuboid surmounted by a half cylinder (see figure). If the base of the shed is of dimension $7\,m \times 15\,m,$ and the height of the cuboidal portion is $8\,m,$ find the volume of air that the shed can hold. Further,suppose the machinery in the shed occupies a total space of $300\,m^3,$ and there are $20$ workers,each of whom occupy about $0.08\,m^3$ space on an average. Then,how much air is in the shed?
