    Question

    The volumes of two cones are in the ratio of 3 : 2 and their radii are in the ratio 3 : 4. The ratio of their heights is:

    A.

    8:3

    B.

    9:4

    C.

    4:9

    D.

    2:1

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Ratio of volumes of two cones = 3 : 2
    Ratio of radii of the two cones = 3 : 4
    Formula Used:
    The volume of a cone is given by the formula:
    V = 13πr2h\frac{1}{3}πr^2h​​
    Solution:
    Let the ratio of their radii is 3x: 4x
    V1=13π(3x)2h1=13π(9x)2h1V_1 = \frac 13 π(3x)^2h_1 = \frac 13 π(9x)^2h_1​​
    V2=13π(4x)2h2=13π16x2h2V_2 = \frac 13 π(4x)^2h_2 = \frac 13 π 16x^2h_2​​
    Given that the ratio of volumes of the two cones is 3: 2,
    V1V2=3213π9x2h113π16x2h2=32h1h2=48x218x2h1h2=83\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{3}{2} \\\frac{ \frac 13 \pi 9x^2 h_1}{ \frac 13 \pi 16x^2 h_2} = \frac{3}{2} \\\frac{h_1}{h_2} = \frac{48x^2}{18x^2} \\\frac{h_1}{h_2} = \frac{8}{3}​​
