Q.The volumes of two perpendicular circular rings are equal. The ratio of their heights is 4:9, then what will be the ratio of their radii? (a) 3:2 (b) 2:3 (c) 4:9 (d) 8:9
Answer: A
The heights of the two rings are 4h and 9h, and the radii are \(r_1\) and \(r_2\).
According to the given condition, the volumes of the rings are equal:
\[ \pi r_1^2 \times 4h = \pi r_2^2 \times 9h \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2} = \frac{9h}{4h} \] \[ \frac{r_1}{r_2} = \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}} = \frac{3}{2} \] Therefore, the ratio of the radii \(r_1 : r_2 = 3 : 2\).
