Q.If the volumes of two right circular cylinders of equal height are in the ratio 16:25, then what is the ratio of their radii? (a) 4:5 (b) 5:4 (c) 3:5 (d) 5:3
Answer: A
Let the radii of the two cylinders be \(r_1\) units and \(r_2\) units respectively, and let the height of both be \(h\) units. \[ \therefore \pi r_1^2 h : \pi r_2^2 h = 16 : 25 \Rightarrow r_1^2 : r_2^2 = 16 : 25 \Rightarrow r_1 : r_2 = 4 : 5 \]
