Correct Answer: 3 : 1


Solution : As we know,
Curved surface area of cylinder = $2 \pi rh$
Total surface area of cylinder = $2 \pi r(h + r)$
where $r$ is the radius and $h$ is the height of the solid cylinder
Diameter, $d$ = $2r$
According to the question
$\frac{2 \pi rh}{2 \pi r (r + h)]} = \frac{2}{5}$
⇒ $\frac{h}{r+h}=\frac25$
⇒ $5h=2r+2h$
⇒ $3h=d$
⇒ $\frac{d}{h}=\frac31$
Hence, the correct answer is 3 : 1.
