Volume of a cone (V1) =

Volume of a hemisphere (V2) =

Volume of a cylinder (V3) =

So, now the ratio of their volumes = (V1) : (V2) : (V3)

Therefore, the ratio of the volumes of the given cone, hemisphere and the cylinder is . So, the correct option is (a).

Let r1 and r2 be the radius of the two circles with surface areas S1 and S2 respectively and volumes V1 and V2 respectively.

So,

V1V2=43πr1343πr23V1V2=r13r23V1V2=r1r23V1V213=r1r2                             .....1

Now,

Answer:

Statement-2 (Reason): If the volumes of two spheres are in the ratio V1V2, then their radii are in the ratio V113:V213.
Let r1 and r2 be the radius of the two spheres with volumes V1 and V2 respectively.
V1V2=43πr1343πr23V1V2=r13r23V1V2=r1r23V1V213=r1r2r1r2=V113V213

Answer:

Statement-2 (Reason): If a hemisphere and a cylinder stand on equal bases and have the same height, then their volumes are in the ratio 3 : 2.

Let r and h be the radius and height of the hemisphere and the cylinder standing on equal bases.
Since the hemisphere and the cylinder have the same height so the height of the cylinder is equal to the radius of the hemisphere.
h = r                 .....(1)
Volume of hemisphereVolume of cylinder=23πr3πr2h=23rr              From 1=23

Thus, Statement-2 is false.

Statement-1 (Assertion): The volume of a sphere is equal to two-third of the volume of a cylinder whose height and diameter of the base are equal to the diameter of the sphere.

Let r and be the radius and height of the sphere and the cylinder whose height and diameter of the base are equal to the diameter of the sphere.
⇒ h = 2r                 .....(1)

Answer:

Statement-2 (Reason): The volume of the largest right circular cone that can be fitted in a cube whose edge is 2r equals to the volume of a hemisphere of radius r.

Given that, the edge of the cube is 2r.
The radius of the largest right circular cone that can be fitted in a cube whose edge is 2r (R)2r
The height of the largest right circular cone that can be fitted in a cube whose edge is 2r (H2r
The radius of the hemisphere = r

Volume of cone=13πR2H=13π(2r)22r=13π8r3=83πr3

Volume of hemisphere=43πr3


Thus, Statement-2 is false.

Statement-1 (Assertion): If a sphere is inscribed in a cube, then the ratio of the volume of the cube to the volume of the sphere is 6 : π.
Let a be the edge of the cube.
The diameter of the sphere is inscribed in a cube (d) = a

V1V2=43πr1343πr23V1V2=r13r23V1V2=r1r23V1V2=233=2333V1V2=827
⇒ V1 : V2 = 8 : 27
Thus, Statement-2 is true.

Statement-1 (Assertion): If the ratio of the surface areas of two spheres is 4 : 25, then the ratio of their radii is 4 : 5.
Let S1 and S2 be the surface areas of two spheres respectively and  r1 and r2 be the radius of two spheres respectively.

Here,  S1 : S2 = 4 : 25

Now, according to Statement-2
