# Solution for A Cylinder and a Cone Have Equal Radii of Their Bases and Equal Heights. If Their Curved Surface Areas Are in the Ratio 8:5, Show that the Radius of Each is to the Height of Each as 3:4. - CBSE Class 9 - Mathematics

ConceptSurface Area of a Right Circular Cone

#### Question

A cylinder and a cone have equal radii of their bases and equal heights. If their curved surface areas are in the ratio 8:5, show that the radius of each is to the height of each as 3:4.

#### Solution

Let us assume radius of cone=r.

And, height of cylinder=h.

Let C_1 , be the curved surface area of cone

∴ C_1=pirsqrt(r^2+h^2)

Similarly, C_2 be the curved surface area of cone cylinder.

∴ C_2=2pirh

According to question C_2/C_1=8/5

⇒ (2pirh)/(pirsqrt(r^2+h^2))=8/5

⇒ 10h=8sqrt(r^2+h^2)

⇒ 100h^2=64r^2+64h^2

⇒ 36h^2=64r^2

h/r=sqrt64/30

⇒(h/r)^2=64/36

⇒ b/r=sqrt64/30=8/6=4/3

∴ r/h=3/4

Is there an error in this question or solution?
