A right circular cone, a right circular cylinder and a hemisphere all have the same radius, and the heights of the cone and cylinder equal their diameters. Then their volumes are proportional respectively to:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let the common radius of all three solids be .
The height of the cone () and the cylinder () equals their diameters, so:



Let us write down the volume formulas for each:

1. Volume of the cone ():



2. Volume of the cylinder ():



3. Volume of the hemisphere ():



Now, compute the ratio :



Divide out :



Multiply the entire ratio by to simplify:
