    24 * 3/4 = 18

    The radius of smaller cone is 3/4 the radius of original cone, so since these cones are similar, height must also be 3/4 times smaller.

    So since radius is squared and we also multiple the height (V = 1/3 π r² h),

    the volume of smaller cone would be 3³ / 4³ = 27 / 64 times smaller

    So we have 1920 * (27 / 64) = 810.

    Final answer: B
