# Solution for The Ratio of Volumes of Two Cones Is 4 : 5 and the Ratio of the Radii of Their Bases is 2:3. Find The Ratio of Their Vertical Heights. - CBSE Class 9 - Mathematics

ConceptSurface Area of a Right Circular Cone

#### Question

The ratio of volumes of two cones is  4 : 5 and the ratio of the radii of their bases is 2:3. Find the ratio of their vertical heights.

#### Solution

Let ratio of radius be 'r '

Radius of 1^(st)cone = 2r

Radius of 2^(nd)cone = 3r

Similarly

Let volume ratio be ‘v’

Volume of 1^(st) cone→  4v

Similarly volume of 2^(nd) cone → 5v

∴V_1/V_2=(4v)/(5v)=4/5

⇒ (1/3pir_1^2h_1)/(1/3pir_1^2)=4/5

⇒( h_1(2r)^2)/(h_2(3r)^2)=4/5

⇒ h_1/h_2xx(4r^2)/(9r^2)=4/5

⇒ h_1/h_2xx36/20=18/20=9/5

∴ Ratio of the inner height is 9:5

Is there an error in this question or solution?
