The ratio of volumes of two cones is 4:5 and the ratio of the radii of their bases is 2:3.Find the ratio of their vertical heights.

Open in App
Solution

Ratio in volumes of two cones =4:5

and ratio of radii=2:3

Let radius of the first cone (r1)=2x

Then radius of second cone (r2)=3x

Let h1,h2be their heights respectively.
