Question -

If the radii of two cylinders are in the ratio 2 : 3 and their heights are in the ratio 5 : 3, then find the ratio of their volumes.



Answer -

Ratio of radii of two cylinder = 2:3
Let radius of first cylinder (r1)= 2x
and second cylinder (r2) = 3x
and ratio in their heights = 5:3
Let height of first cylinder (h1) = 5y
and height of second (h2) = 3y
Volumeof the first cylinder =πr2h
= π x (2x)2 x 5y = 20πx2y
and volume of second cylinder = π(3x)2 x 3y = 27πx2y
Now ratio between then,
= 20πx2y: 21πx2y
= 20 : 27
