Correct Answer: 2 : 5
Solution : Given: The curved surface area of a cylinder is five times the area of its base. Use the formulas, The curved surface area of the cylinder = $2\pi rh$, The area of the base of the cylinder = $\pi r^2$, where $r$ and $h$ are the radius and height respectively. According to the question, $\frac{2\pi rh}{\pi r^2}=\frac{5}{1}$ ⇒ $\frac{2h}{r}=\frac{5}{1}$ ⇒ $\frac{r}{h}=\frac{2}{5}$ Hence, the correct answer is 2 : 5.
