  1. Q1. A cone, a sphere and a cylinder all have radius 7 cm; the cone and cylinder have height 14 cm (= 2r) (pi = 22/7). Their volumes are in the ratio cone : sphere : cylinder =?

    • A.1:2:3
    • B.1:1:1
    • C.3:2:1
    • D.1:3:2

    Answer: A. 1:2:3

    Given 7 cm, 14 cm, asked for the unknown. By Cone = (1/3)π.r^2(2r) = (2/3)π.r^3. Cone = (1/3)π.r^2(2r) = (2/3)π.r^3 → sphere = (4/3)π.r^3 → cylinder = π.r^2(2r) = 2π.r^3 → ratio = 1:2:3. Consequently option A) 1:2:3. Others fail: option B) '1:1:1' misses the point - With h = 2r the three volumes are πr^3 ratios 1:2:3, not equal; option C) '3:2:1' misses the point - Cone is the smallest and cylinder the largest; order is 1:2:3.

  2. Q2. A cone, a sphere and a cylinder all have radius 14 cm; the cone and cylinder have height 28 cm (= 2r) (pi = 22/7). Their volumes are in the ratio cone : sphere : cylinder =?

    • A.1:2:3
    • B.1:1:1
    • C.3:2:1
    • D.1:3:2

    Answer: A. 1:2:3

  3. Q3. A cone, a sphere and a cylinder all have radius 21 cm; the cone and cylinder have height 42 cm (= 2r) (pi = 22/7). Their volumes are in the ratio cone : sphere : cylinder =?

    • A.1:2:3
    • B.1:1:1
    • C.3:2:1
    • D.1:3:2

    Answer: A. 1:2:3
