Question 11 Mark
A cylinder and a cone are of same base radius and of same height. Find the ratio of the volume of cylinder to that of the cone.
Answer
View full question & answer→Let r be the base radius and h be the height.
Then, volume of the cylinder i.e.,
$\text{V}_1=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
and volume of the cone i.e.,
$\text{V}_2=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}$
$\therefore\ \frac{\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}}{\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}}=\frac{3}{1}$
Hence, the required ratio is 3 : 1.
