Correct Answer: 5 : 7


Solution : According to the question,
$\frac{V_1}{V_2}$ = $\frac{7}{5}$
and, $\frac{h1}{h2}$ = $\frac{5}{7}$
Now, $\frac{V_1}{V_2}$ = $\frac{πr_1^{2}h_1}{πr_2^{2}h_2}$
⇒ $\frac{7}{5}$ = $\frac{5×r_1^{2}}{7×r_2^{2}}$
⇒ 49 × $r_1^{2}$ = 25 × $r_2^{2}$
⇒ $\frac{r_1}{r_2}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{49}}$ = $\frac{5}{7}$
Hence, the correct answer is 5 : 7.
