Question : The ratio of the volume of the two cones is 2 : 3, and the ratio of the radii of their bases is 1 : 2. The ratio of their heights is:

Option 1: 3 : 8

Option 2: 8 : 3

Option 3: 4 : 3

Option 4: 3 : 4

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 8 : 3


Solution : Let their radii be $x$ and $2x$ and their heights be $h$ and $H$ respectively.
According to the question,
$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{\frac{1}{3}\pi r_1^2 h_1}{\frac{1}{3}\pi r_2^2 h_2}$
⇒ $\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{r_1^2 h_1}{r_2^2 h_2}$
⇒ $\frac{2}{3}=\frac{x^2 h}{(2x)^2 H}$
⇒ $\frac{2}{3}=\frac{x^2 h}{4x^2 H}$
⇒ $\frac{h}{H}=\frac{8}{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is

Question : When P is subtracted from each of the numbers 8, 6, 2 and 9, the numbers so obtained in this order are in proportion. What is the mean proportional between (3P - 6) and (9P - 4)?

Option 1: 26

Option 2: 28

Option 3: 29

Option 4: 24

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 28


Solution : According to the question,
$(8-P)(9-P)=(6-P)(2-P)$
$⇒72+P^2-17P=12+P^2-8P$
$⇒9P=60$
$⇒P=\frac{20}{3}$
Mean proportion between $(3P - 6)$ and $(9P - 4)$
= $\sqrt{(3P - 6)(9P - 4)}$
= $\sqrt{(3×\frac{20}{3} - 6)(9×\frac{20}{3} - 4)}$
= $\sqrt{14×56}$
= $28$
Hence, the correct answer is 28.
