Correct Answer: 1 : 1
Solution : Radius of the sphere = Radius of the cylinder (let it be $r$) The ratio of the radius to the height of the cylinder = 3 : 4 Volume of Sphere = $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$ Volume of Cylinder = $\pi r^2 h$ Let the height of the cylinder be $4x$ (since the ratio of radius to height is 3 : 4) Then, the radius of the cylinder, $r = 3x$ Therefore, Volume of Sphere = $\frac{4}{3} \pi (3\text{x})^3$ = $36\pi \text{x}^3$ And, Volume of Cylinder = $\pi (3\text{x})^2 \times 4\text{x} = 36\pi \text{x}^3$ Ratio of the volume of sphere to that of the cylinder = $\frac{36\pi \text{x}^3}{36\pi \text{x}^3}$ = 1 : 1 Hence, the ratio of the volume of the sphere to that of the cylinder is 1 : 1. Hence, the correct answer is 1 : 1.
