# GATE Mechanical 2017 Set 1 | GA Question: 3

A right-angled cone (with base radius $5$ cm and height $12$ cm), as shown in the figure below, is rolled on the ground keeping the point $P$ fixed until the point $Q$ (at the base of the cone, as shown) touches the ground again.

By what angle (in radians) about $P$ does the cone travel?

1. $\dfrac{5\pi}{12} \\$
2. $\dfrac{5\pi}{24} \\$
3. $\dfrac{24\pi}{5} \\$
