Question
A cylinder and a right circular cone are having the same base and same height. The volume of the cylinder is three times the volume of the cone.

Answer

Let $r$ the radius and h be hight of the cylinder and a right circular cone.
Now, volume of cylinder $=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
And volume of cone $=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
$\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
$\Rightarrow3\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
Therefore, volume of cylinder $= 3($volume of cone$)$
Hence, the given statement is true.
