The radii of two cylinders are in the ratio $2:3$ and their heights are in the ratio $5:4$. The ratio of their volumes is:
  1. $2:3$
  2. $5:9$
  3. $10:27$
  4. $4:9$

Solution

Ratio of volumes $= \dfrac{r_{1}^{2} h_{1}}{r_{2}^{2} h_{2}} = \dfrac{4 \times 5}{9 \times 4} = \dfrac{20}{36} = \dfrac{5}{9}$.
