A cone and a hemisphere have equal bases and equal volumes. Identify the ratio of their heights.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Let the radius of both cone and hemisphere be ‘r’ cm.
Let ‘h’ be the height of the cone. It is given that,
Volume of cone = volume of a hemisphere
$⇒\frac{1}{3}πr^2h=\frac{2}{3}πr^3$
⇒ h = 2r
h : r = 2 : 1
