Write whether True or False and justify your answer

A cone, a hemisphere and a cylinder stand on equal bases and have the same height. The ratio of their volumes is 1 : 2 : 3.

We have


According to the question, diameter of cone, hemisphere and cylinder are same.


So, radius of cone = radius of hemisphere = radius of cylinder = r


Also, height of cone, hemisphere and cylinder are same.


But in a hemisphere, radius and height always remain same.


So, height of cone = height of hemisphere = height of cylinder = r


Now,


Volume of cone = 1/3 π (radius)2 (height)


= 1/3 π (r)2 (r) = 1/3 πr3 …(i)


Volume of hemisphere = 2/3 π (radius)3


= 2/3 πr3 …(ii)


Volume of cylinder = π (radius)2 (height)


= π r2 r = πr3 …(iii)


Now, using equations (i), (ii) and (iii), we can write it in the ratio as


Volume of cone : Volume of hemisphere : Volume of cylinder = 1/3 πr3 : 2/3 πr3 : πr3


= 1/3 : 2/3 : 1


Taking L.C.M of the denominators (3, 3, 1), we get L.C.M as 3. Multiply 3 by each numerator,


Volume of cone : Volume of hemisphere : Volume of cylinder = 3/3 : 6/3 : 3


= 1 : 2 : 3


Hence, it is true.
