Solution

The correct option is D None of these

Solution: -

The resultant figure is made of three similar triangles. The height and radius will be in ratio 1/3:2/3:1 = 1:2:3.

r1 = 1, h1 = 1

r2 = 2, h2 = 2

r3 = 3, h3 = 3

Volume will be in the ratio of r2h for the three circular cones.

Required Volumes are

V1 = r12 x h1 = 1

V2 = r22 x h2 - V1 = 8 - 1 = 7

V3 = r32 x h3 - (V1 + V2) = 27 - (7 + 1) = 19

Volumes will be in given ratio = 1:7:19. Option (d).
