A cone, a hemisphere and a cylinder stand on equal bases and have the same height. The ratio of their volumes is 1 : 2 : 3.
Solution:
Let radius of hemisphere is r.
Volume of a cone,
$\text{V}_1=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^2(\text{r})\ \ [\therefore\text{h=r}]$
$=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{r}^3$
Volume of a hemisphere,
$\text{V}_2=\frac{2}{3}\pi\text{r}^3$Volume of cylinder,
$\text{V}_3=\pi\text{r}^2\text{h}=\pi\text{r}^2\times\text{r}=\pi\text{r}^3\ \ [\therefore\text{h}=\text{r}]$$\text{V}_1:\text{V}_2:\text{V}_3=\frac{1}{2}\pi\text{r}^3:\frac{2}{3}\pi\text{r}^3=1:2:3$
Hence, the ratio of their volumes is 1 : 2 : 3.
Clearly,
