The radii of two cylinders are in the ratio 2:3 and their heights are in the ratio 5:3. Calculate the ratio of their volumes.

Answer»

We have,

Ratio of radii of two cylinder = 2:3

Radius of cylinder 1 = r1

Radius of cylinder 2 = r2

r1/r2 = 2/3

Ratio of their heights = 5:3

Height of cylinder 1 = h1

Height of cylinder 2 = h2

h1/h2 = 5/3

Volume of cylinder 1 = v1

Volume of cylinder 2 = v2

v1 / v2 = πr12h1 / πr22h2

= 22 × 5 / 32 × 3

= 4×5 / 9×3

= 20/27

∴ Ratio of volumes of two cylinder is 20:27
