Question

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

    cone is 4:5, while the ratio of their heights is 5:6. 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 2:9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8:7 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 =4/5 Let h and H be the heights of the cylinder and the cone, respectively. h/H =5/6 The formula for volume ratio: Substituting values:

    Hence, the ratio of the volumes is 8:5.
