Correct Answer: 25 : 64


Solution : The ratio of the volumes of two cones = 1 : 4
Ratio of their radii = Ratio of their diameters = 4 : 5
Let $h_1$ and $h_2$ be the heights and $r_1$ and $r_2$ be the radii.
Ratio of volumes = $\frac{\frac{1}{3} \pi (r_1)^2h_1}{\frac{1}{3} \pi (r_2)^2h_2}$
⇒ $\frac{1}{4}$ = $\frac{4^2\times  h_1}{5^2 \times h_2}$
⇒ $\frac{h_1}{h_2}$ = $\frac{25}{64}$
Hence, the correct answer is 25 : 64.
