Question

A cylinder, a cone and a hemisphere are of equal base and have the same height. What is the ratio of their volumes?

Answer in Brief

Solution

Let the diameter of the base for all three be x cm and height be y cm.

For hemisphere radius  `x /2 cm`

Height `y = x/2 cm`

(As height of the hemisphere is equal to the radius of hemisphere)

For cone

Radius `= x /2 cm`

Height `= x /2 cm`

(As height is same for all)

For cylinder

Radius `= x /2 cm`

Height `= x /2 cm`

The ratio of their volume is

= cylinder volume : conic volume : hemispherical volume

`  = pi (x/2)^2 x /2 :1/3 pi (x/2)^2 (x/2) :2/3 pi (x/3)^3`

`=1 :1/3 :2/3`

`=3:1:2`
