A sphere, a cylinder and a cone have the same radius and same height. Find the ratio of their volumes.
[Hint: Diameter of the sphere is equal to the heights of the cylinder and the cone.]
Given that, a sphere, a cylinder and a cone have the same radius(say r) and same height(say h).
⇒ ∵ they have same height,
⇒ diameter of sphere = height of cylinder
⇒ radius of sphere
⇒ h = 2r
Ratio of their volumes = vol. of sphere : vol. of cylinder : vol. of cone
Multiplying the whole by 3, we get-
⇒ Ratio of their volumes = 4:6:2
