  • A 27 : 32
  • B 27 : 23
  • C 23 : 32
  • D 27 : 23
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
\(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\) = \(\frac{2}{3}\)
h2 = \(\frac{2h_1}{3}\)
\(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\) = \(\frac{9}{8}\)
r2 = \(\frac{9r_1}{8}\)
v1 = \(\pi\)(\(\frac{9r_1}{8}\))2(\(\frac{2h_1}{3}\))
= \(\pi\)r1 2h1 x \(\frac{27}{32}\)
v = \(\frac{\pi r_1 2h_1 \times \frac{27}{32}}{\pi r_1 2h_1}\) = \(\frac{27}{32}\)
v2 : v1 = 27 : 32
