Question

The radii of two cylinders are in the ratio 1 : 4 and their heights are in the ratio 3 : 1. The ratio of their lateral surface area is ________. (a) 3 ∶ 4 (b) 4 : 3 (c) 9 : 16 (d) 16 : 9

Answer 1

a

Explanation:

Cylinders:

Ratio of radii = 1 : 4

Radius of two cylinders are: r , 4r

Ratio of height = 3 :1

Height of two cylinders are: 3h , h

Lateral surface area of cylinder = 2πrh

Ratio of lateral surface area= 2π* r * 3h : 2π* 4r * h

= 3 : 4
