Question:

The radii of a right circular cone and a right circular cylinder are in the ratio 2 : 3. If the ratio of the heights of the cone and the cylinder is 3 : 4, then what is the ratio of the volumes of the cone and the cylinder?

Options:

1 : 6

1 : 3

1 : 9

2 : 3

Correct Answer:

1 : 9

Explanation:

We know that,

Volume of Cone = \(\frac{1}{3}\)πr2h

Volume of Cylinder = πr2h

Ratio of radius of right circular cone to right circular cylinder = 2:3

Ratio of height of the right circular cone to right circular cylinder = 3:4

Now according to the formula =

The ratio of the volumes of both of them =

\(\frac{1}{3}\)πr2h :  πr2h

\(\frac{1}{3}\)(2)23 :  (3)24

4 :  36 = 1 : 9
