SSC CHSL - 26 May 2022 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q65

If the ratio of the volumes of two cones is 11:16 and the ratio of the radii of their bases is 3:4, then the ratio of their heights will be: 
 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 11:9

Concept Used :

Volumeofcone=13πr2hVolume of cone = {1 \over 3}\pi r^2 h

Let the radii of two cones be 3x and 4x respectively and heights of the cones be h1 and h2 respectively.

Given that the ration of the volumes of two cones is 11 : 16

So, 1/3 × 22/7 × 9x2 × h1 : 1/3 × 22/7 × 16x2 × h2 = 11 : 16

h1 : h2 = 11 × 16 : 16 × 9

h1 : h2 = 11 : 9.

Hence the ratio of heights of two cones is 11: 9.
