SSC MTS 2024 PYQ — Question 6

SSC MTS - 15/10/2024 - (4:00 PM - 5:30 PM) • Quantitative Aptitude • Q6

The ratio of the base radii of two cylinders is 5 : 6 and the ratio of their corresponding heights is 49 : 36. Find the ratio of their volumes.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The  correct answer is  option 2  i.e. 1225:1290.

Volume of a cylinder ∝ (radius² × height)

Given: Radius ratio = 5 : 6 ⇒ r₁² : r₂² = 25 : 36

Height ratio = 49 : 36

So, Volume ratio = 25 × 49 : 36 × 36

= 1225 : 1296
