Choose the correct answer in each of the following :
The ratio of the volumes of a right circular cylinder and a right circular cone of the same base and the same height will be
(a) 1:3 (b) 3:1 (c) 4:3 (d) 3:4
ANSWER:
(b) 3 : 1
It is given that the right circular cylinder and the right circular cone have the same base and height.
Suppose that the respective radii of bases and heights are equal to r and h.
The ratio of their volumes = \( \frac{πr^2h}{ \frac{1}{3}πr^2h\) =31 = 3 : 1
