Question 72

Logical Reasoning Aptitude Medium

Kartik has three solid objects a cone, a hemisphere, and a cylinder. All three have the same base radius and the same height. He completely immerses each solid in a bucket full of water. What is the ratio of the volumes of the cylinder: cone: hemisphere?

(A) 1:2:3
(B) 3:1:2
(C) 2:1:3
(D) 1:1:1
✓ Correct Answer: Option B Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

Let the common base radius be \( r \) and the height be \( h \). Since a hemisphere's height is equal to its radius, we have \( h = r \) for all three objects. Volume of Cylinder = \( \pi r^2 h = \pi r^2 (r) = \pi r^3 \) Volume of Cone = \( \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^3 \) Volume of Hemisphere = \( \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \) The ratio of their volumes (Cylinder : Cone : Hemisphere) is: \[ \pi r^3 : \frac{1}{3} \pi r^3 : \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \] Divide the entire ratio by \( \pi r^3 \): \[ 1 : \frac{1}{3} : \frac{2}{3} \] Multiply by 3 to clear the fractions: \[ 3 : 1 : 2 \]
