Question Detail
A hemisphere and a cone have equal bases. If their heights are also equal, then the ratio of their curved surface will be :
- \begin{aligned} 2:1 \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 1:\sqrt{2} \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} \sqrt{2}:1 \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} \sqrt{3}:1 \end{aligned}
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the radius of hemisphere and cone be R,
Height of hemisphere H = R.
So the height of the cone = height of the hemisphere = R
Slant height of the cone
\begin{aligned}
= \sqrt{R^2+R^2} \\
= \sqrt{2}R \\
\frac{\text{Hemisphere Curved surface area}}{\text{Cone Curved surface area}} = \\
\frac{2\pi R^2}{\pi *R*\sqrt{2}R} \\
= \sqrt{2}:1
\end{aligned}
