Correct Answer: 9 : 16


Solution : The ratio of the diameters of two right circular cones of equal height = 3 : 4
Let diameter of 1 st cone be $3x$.
Diameter of 2 nd cone $= 4x$
Radius of the 1 st cone, $r_1 = \frac{3x}{2}$
Radius of the 2 nd cone, $r_2 = \frac{4x}{2}$ = $2x$
and $h_1 = h_2$
Ratio of the volumes of the cones = $\frac{\frac{1}{3}\pi r_{1}^{2}h_1}{\frac{1}{3}\pi r_{2}^{2}h_2} = \frac{r_{1}^{2}}{ r_{2}^{2}} = \frac{\frac{9}{4}}{4} = \frac{9}{16}$
Hence, the correct answer is 9 : 16.
