1998 AHSME Problem 18

A right circular cone of volume A, a right circular cylinder of volume M, and a sphere of volume C all have the same radius, and the common height of the cone and the cylinder is equal to the diameter of the sphere. Then

\mathrm{(A) \ } A-M+C = 0 \qquad \mathrm{(B) \ } A+M=C \qquad \mathrm{(C) \ } 2A = M+C \qquad \mathrm{(D) \ }A^2 - M^2 + C^2 = 0 \qquad \mathrm{(E) \ } 2A + 2M = 3C
