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
    3 : 1
  • C
    1 : 3
  • D
    2 : 5

Answer

  1. 1 : 3

Solution:

Let r be the radius of cylinder and cone and volumes are equal and h1 and h2 be their have h2 is respectively

$\therefore$ Volume of cylinder $=\pi\text{rh}_1$

and volume of cone $=\frac{1}{3\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}_2}$

$\therefore\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}_1=\frac{1}{3\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}_2}$

$\Rightarrow\text{h}_1=\frac{1}{3\text{h}_2}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{h}_1}{\text{h}_2}=\frac{1}{3}$

$\therefore\text{h}_1:\text{h}_2=1:3$
