Question:

Volumes of two cones are in the ratio 1 : 4 and their diameters are in the ratio 4 : 5. The ratio of their heights is:

Options:

4 : 5

5 : 16

25 : 16

25 : 64

Correct Answer:

25 : 64

Explanation:

Ratio of volumes of cones⇒  \(\frac{1}{3}\) \(\pi \)R12H1 : \(\frac{1}{3}\) \(\pi \)R22H2

⇒ R12H1 : R22H2 = 1   :   4 ...... (i)

Ratio of diameter = Ratio of radius = 4 : 5

In eq. (i) 

⇒ R12H1 : R22H= 1 : 4

⇒ (4)2 H1 : (5)2 H2 = 1 :4 

⇒ H1 : H2 = \(\frac{1}{4}\) × \(\frac{25}{16}\)

 = 25 : 64
