Q.Two right circular cones of equal height have their base diameters in the ratio 2 : 3. The ratio of their volumes will be — (a) 3:4 (b) 4:5 (c) 5:4 (d) 4:9
Answer: D
The diameters of two right circular cones are in the ratio 2:3. \(\therefore\) The radii will be in the ratio 2:3. Let the radii of the two cones be \(2r\) units and \(3r\) units respectively, and both have the same height \(h\) units. \(\therefore\) The ratio of their volumes \(= \pi (2r)^2 h : \pi (3r)^2 h\) \(= 4 : 9\)
