  1. A right circular cylinder and a cone have equal base radius and equal height. If their curved surfaces are in the ratio 8 : 5, then the radius of the base to the height are in the ratio :
    1. 2 : 3
    2. 4 : 3
    3. 3 : 4
    4. 3 : 2
Correct Option: C

Let Radius of the base = r units and height = h units
