Correct Answer: 9 : 10


Solution : Given: The radii of two cylinders are in the ratio 3 : 4 and their heights are in the ratio 8 : 5.
Let the radii of two cylinders be $3x$ and $4x$ and their heights be $8y$ and $5y$.
Use the formulas,
The volume of the cylinder = $\pi r^2h$, where $r$ and $h$ are the radius and height respectively.
The ratio of their volumes = $\frac{\pi\times (3x)^2\times 8y}{\pi\times (4x)^2\times 5y}=\frac{9\times8}{16\times 5}=\frac{9}{10}$.
Hence, the correct answer is 9 : 10.
