The radii of two cylinder are in the ratio of 2:3 and their height are in the ratio of 5:3. Find the ratio of their volumes.

Let the radus of the first cylinder = r1


And the radus of the second cylinder = r2;


Let the height of first cylinder = h1


And the height of second cylinder = h2


Given,


r1 : r2 = 2 : 3


r1/r2 = 23 ……………….. (i)


And


h1 : h2 = 5 : 3


h1/h2 = 5/3 ……… (ii)


Now,


The ratio of the volumes of the cylinders =




……… [Using (i) and (ii)]


= 20/27


= 20 : 27


So,


The ratio of the volumes of the given cylinders is 20 : 27
