The ratio of the volumes of a right circular cylinder and a sphere is 3 ∶ 2. If the radius of the sphere is double the radius of the base of the cylinder; find the ratio of the surface areas of the cylinder and the sphere? 1). 2 ∶ 12). 3 ∶ 13). 1 ∶ 2 4). 4 ∶ 1

Answer»

LET RADIUS of cylinder be r and radius of sphere be R

Volume of a right CIRCULAR cylinder = πr2h

Volume of a sphere = (4/3)πR3

Given,

R = 2r

Ratio of the volumes of a right circular cylinder and a sphere is 3 : 2

$(\Rightarrow \;\FRAC{{\pi {r^2}h}}{{\frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3}}}\; = \;\frac{3}{2})$

⇒ h = 16r

Curved Surface area of a right circular cylinder = 2πrh

Surface area of the sphere = 4πR2

∴ Ratio of the surface areas of the cylinder and the sphere $(= \;\frac{{2\pi rh}}{{4\pi {R^2}}}\; = \;\frac{{32{r^2}}}{{4 \times 4{R^2}}}\; = \;2\;:\;1)$
