MCQ
A right circular cylinder and a right circular cone have the same radius and the same volume. The ratio of the height of the cylinder to that of the cone is:
  • A
    $3 : 5$
  • B
    $2 : 5$
  • C
    $3 : 1$
  • $1 : 3$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$1 : 3$

Let the height of a circular cylinder and a right circular cone be $h\ cm$ and $H\ cm$ respectively.
Since a right circular and a right circular cone have the same radius and the same volume,
$\Rightarrow\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2\text{H}$
$\Rightarrow\text{h}=\frac{1}{3}\text{H}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{h}}{\text{H}}=\frac{1}{3}$
$⇒$ Ratio of the height is $1 : 3.$
