Multiple choice

If the heights and the radii of two right circular cylinders are in the ratio $2 : 3$ and $4 : 5$ respectively. Find the ratio of their curved surface areas.

  1. $8:15$
  2. $7:15$
  3. $9:15$
  4. None of these

A Correct answer
Explanation

Curved Surface Area = 2 * pi * r * h. Ratio = (r1*h1) / (r2*h2) = (4/5) * (2/3) = 8/15.

AI explanation

The curved surface area of a cylinder equals 2 times pi times radius times height. The ratio of their curved surface areas is the product of their radius and height ratios, giving 2 times 4 divided by 3 times 5. This calculates to 8 to 15.
