    Question

    The ratio of the radii of the bases of a cylinder and a

    cone is 2:3, while the ratio of their heights is 3:5. What is the ratio of the volume of the cylinder to the volume of the cone?
    A 5:6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let r and R be the radii of the bases of the cylinder and the cone, respectively. r/R =2/3 Let h and H be the heights of the cylinder and the cone, respectively. h/H =3/5 The formula for volume ratio: Substituting values:

    Hence, the ratio of the volumes is 4:5.
