Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 3 : 1 Given : Side of the cube = a cm Area of base of pyramid = a2 cm2 Height of the pyramid = a cm Formula used : Volume of the cube = a3 Volume of the pyramid = (1/3) × (Area of base × height) Calculations : Volume of the cube = a3 Volume of the pyramid = (1/3) × (a2 × a) = (1/3)a3 Ratio of volume of cube to volume of pyramid = a3 : (1/3)a3 ⇒ 3 : 1 ∴ The ratio of the volume is 3 : 1 |
