Question

In what ratio are the volumes of a cylinder , a cone and a sphere , if each has the same diameter and the same height ?


Options:
A .  1 : 2 : 3
B .  2 : 3 ; 1
C .  3 : 1 : 2
D .  3 : 2 ; 1
Answer: Option C

Let radius  = R and height  = H. Then ,

Ratio of their volumes = `pi R^2 H :  1/3 pi R^2 H : 4/3 pi R^3`

                                     =  ` H :  1/3 H : 4/3 R`

                                     = ` H : 1/3 H : 4/3 xx H/2  `                   ` [ In sphere , H = 2R    or R = H/2]` 

                                     =  3 : 1 : 2.
