Correct Answer: 10 : 9
Solution : The volume of a cuboid is $V = lbh$, where l, b and h are the length, breadth and height respectively. Let the volume of the first cuboid be $V_1 = l_1b_1h_1$ Let the volume of the second cuboid be $V_2 = l_2b_2h_2$ On dividing the two equations and substituting the given ratios, ⇒ $\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{l_1b_1h_1}{l_2b_2h_2}$ ⇒ $\frac{2}{3} = \frac{4\times3\times h_1}{5\times4\times h_2}$ ⇒ $\frac{h_1}{h_2} = \frac{2\times4\times 5}{4\times3\times 3}= \frac{10}{9}$ $\therefore$ The ratio of the heights of the two cuboids is 10 : 9. Hence, the correct answer is 10 : 9.
