The height of a cube of side a cm and a pyramid of height a cm has a square base of a cm. Find the ratio of their volume.1. 1 : 32. 3 : 13. 2 : 34. 3 : 2

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) × (a× 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
