The volumes of two cones are in the ratio 1 : 10 and the radii of the cones are in the ratio of 1 : 2. What is the length of the wire?
[ "2 : 5", "2 : 9", "2 : 8", "2 : 4" ]
A
The volume of the cone = (1/3)πr2h Only radius (r) and height (h) are varying. Hence, (1/3)π may be ignored. V1/V2 = r12h1/r22h2 => 1/10 = (1)2h1/(2)2h2 => h1/h2 = 2/5 i.e. h1 : h2 = 2 : 5.Answer: C
