If the ratio between the curved surface area of two cones is 5 ∶ 39 and the ratio between their radius is 1 ∶ 3. Find the ratio between their slant height.1. 7 ∶ 122. 5 ∶ 133. 13 ∶ 54. 12 ∶ 13

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 5 ∶ 13

Given:

Ratio between CSA = 5 ∶ 39

Ratio between diameters = 1 ∶ 3

Formula used:

CSA of cone = πrl, where l is slant height and r is the radius of the base.

Calculation:

Let the l1 and l2 be the slant height of two cones.

Curved surface area of cone 1, CSA1 = πR1l1

Curved surface area of cone 2, CSA2 = πR2l2

According to the question,

CSA1/CSA2 = 5/39

⇒ (πR1l1)/( πR2l2) = 5/39

⇒ R1/R2 × l1/l2 = 5/39

⇒ 1/3 × l1/l2 = 5/39

⇒ l1/l2 = 5/13

The ratio between their slant height is 5 13.
