Question

A cylinder and a cone area of same base radius and of same height. The ratio of the volume of cylinder to that of cone is ______.

Options

• 3 : 1

• 1 : 3

• 2 : 3

• 1 : 1

Answer 1

A cylinder and a cone area of same base radius and of same height. The ratio of the volume of cylinder to that of cone is 3 : 1.

Explanation:

`"Volume of cylinder"/"Volume of cone"`

`= (pi"r"^2"h")/(1/3 pi"r"^2"h") = 1 xx 3/1` = 3

∴ Required ratio = 3 : 1
