Question:

The height of a cone, a cylinder and a sphere are equal numerically. If the ratio of their radii is 1:3:5, then find the ratio of their volumes?

Options:

1:27:200

5:9:1

1:27:125

1:9:25

Correct Answer:

1:27:200

Explanation:

since in a sphere, height = diameter :- 

                             Cone             Cylinder           Sphere

Ratio of radius           1         :          3           :        5

Ratio of height           1        :          1           :        1 

                      ⇒ height of cone and cylinder = diameter of sphere

Ratio of volume     \(\frac{1}{3}\) \(\pi \)r12h1  :   \(\pi \)r22h2   :   \(\frac{4}{3}\) \(\pi \)r33

⇒  \(\frac{1}{3}\) \(\pi \)x× \(\frac{5x}{2}\)  :   \(\pi \)(3x)\(\frac{5x}{2}\)  :    \(\frac{4}{3}\) \(\pi \) 5x)

⇒ \(\frac{5}{6}\)  :   \(\frac{9 × 5}{2}\)   :   \(\frac{4}{3}\) × 125

= 1  :  27  :  200
