Correct Answer: 27 : 1
Solution : Given: The ratio of radii of a cylinder to a cone is 3 : 1. Let the radii of the cylinder and the cone be 3$r$ and $r$. Let the heights of the cylinder and the cone be $h$. Now, the volume of the cylinder = $\pi (3r)^2h$ = $9\pi r^2h$ and the volume of the cone = $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$ So, the required ratio of their volumes = $9\pi r^2h$ : $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h$ = 27 : 1 Hence, the correct answer is 27 : 1.
