  1. The volume of a right circular cylinder and that of a sphere are equal and their radii are also equal. If the height of the cylinder be h and the diameter of the sphere d, then which of the following relation is correct ?
    1. h = d
    2. 2h = d
    3. 2h = 3d
    4. 3h = 2d
Correct Option: D

Volume of the cylinder = πr²h

=
πd²h
cubic units
4

∵ r =
d
2

Volume of sphere =
4
π
h
³
32

=
π
d³ cubic units
6

According to the question,
π
d³ =
πd²h
64

d
=
h
⇒ 4d = 6h
64

⇒ 2d = 3h
