Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- $ V _1,:,{V _{2,}},=,2,:,3 $ $ r _1:r _2=1:2, $ $ h _1:h _2=? $
Now, $ \frac{v _1}{v _2}=\frac{2}{3}\Rightarrow \frac{\frac{1}{3}\pi r_1^{2}h _1}{\frac{1}{3}\pi r_2^{2}h _2}=\frac{2}{3} $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ {{( \frac{r _1}{r _2} )}^{2}}\times \frac{h _1}{h _2}=\frac{2}{3} $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{h _1}{h _2}=\frac{2}{3} $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{h _1}{h _2}=\frac{8}{3} $
$ \therefore $ $ h _1:h _2=8:3 $
