Question

The height of two right circular  cones are in the ratio  1 : 2 and the perimeters of their bases are in the ratio  3 : 4 . Find the ratio of their volumes .


Options:
A .  9 : 32
B .  9 : 42
C .  9 : 52
D .  9 :62
Answer: Option A

Let the radii of their bases be r and R and their height be h and 2 h respe4ctively .

Then , `(2pir)/(2piR) = 3/4  `  

`rArr   r/R  =  3/4   `

`R =  4/3 r`

`:.`      Ratio of volumes =  `(1/3  pi r^2 h)/(1/3 pi (4/3 r)^2  2h)`    =  `  9 /32 `  = 9 : 32
