Q.If a hemisphere and a cone have equal base areas and equal heights, then what will be the ratio of their volumes? (a) 1:3 (b) 2:3 (c) 3:2 (d) 3:1
Answer: B
The radius of the base of both the hemisphere and the cone is \(r\) And the height of both is equal to the radius of the hemisphere, i.e., \(r\) \(\therefore\) The ratio of the volumes of the hemisphere and the cone is \(= \cfrac{2}{3}\pi r^3 : \pi r^2 \cdot r\) \(= \cfrac{2}{3}\pi r^3 : \pi r^3\) \(= \cfrac{2}{3} : 1\) \(= 2 : 3\)
