Correct Answer: 8 : 3
Solution :
Let their radii be $x$ and $2x$ and their heights be $h$ and $H$ respectively.
According to the question,
$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{\frac{1}{3}\pi r_1^2 h_1}{\frac{1}{3}\pi r_2^2 h_2}$
⇒ $\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{r_1^2 h_1}{r_2^2 h_2}$
⇒ $\frac{2}{3}=\frac{x^2 h}{(2x)^2 H}$
⇒ $\frac{2}{3}=\frac{x^2 h}{4x^2 H}$
⇒ $\frac{h}{H}=\frac{8}{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is 8 : 3.
