Q.If the radii of two cones are in the ratio 2:3 and their heights are in the ratio 5:3, then what will be the ratio of their volumes? (a) 4:9 (b) 9:4 (c) 27:20 (d) 20:27
Answer: D
Let the radii of the two cones be \(2r\) units and \(3r\) units respectively, and their heights be \(5h\) units and \(3h\) units respectively. \(\therefore\) The ratio of their volumes is: \(= \pi (2r)^2 \times 5h : \pi (3r)^2 \times 3h\) \(= 20\pi r^2h : 27\pi r^2h\) \(= 20 : 27\)
