The radii of two cylinders are in the ratio of 2: 3 and their heights are in the ratio of 5: 3. The ratio of their volume is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The volume of a cylinder is: $V = \pi r^2 h$
Given:
- Radii ratio = 2:3
- Heights ratio = 5:3
So, the ratio of their volumes is:
$(2^2 \times 5) : (3^2 \times 3)$
$= (4 \times 5) : (9 \times 3)$
$= 20 : 27$
