Question:

If the base radii of two cylinders are in the ratio of 1 : 2 and their volumes are in the ratio 8 : 27, then find the ratio of their height -

Options:

24 : 2

3 : 4

32 : 27

3 : 2

Correct Answer:

32 : 27

Explanation:

Ratio of base radius ⇒   1     :     2

Ratio of volume        ⇒   8     :     27 = \(\pi \)r12h :   \(\pi \)r22h2

⇒ r12h1   :   r22h2 = 8 : 27

⇒ 12h1 :  (2)2h2 = 8 : 27

⇒ h:  h2 = 32 :  27
