The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the assertion and reason provided, and then derive the necessary relationships using the formula for the volume of a cone. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Ratios:** - The ratio of the radii of two cones is given as \( R_1 : R_2 = 2 : 3 \). - The ratio of their volumes is given as \( V_1 : V_2 = 1 : 3 \). 2. **Use the Volume Formula for a Cone:** - The volume \( V \) of a cone is given by the formula: \[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \] - For cone 1 (with radius \( R_1 \) and height \( H_1 \)): \[ V_1 = \frac{1}{3} \pi R_1^2 H_1 \] - For cone 2 (with radius \( R_2 \) and height \( H_2 \)): \[ V_2 = \frac{1}{3} \pi R_2^2 H_2 \] 3. **Set Up the Volume Ratio:** - From the volume formula, we can write the ratio of the volumes: \[ \frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{\frac{1}{3} \pi R_1^2 H_1}{\frac{1}{3} \pi R_2^2 H_2} = \frac{R_1^2 H_1}{R_2^2 H_2} \] - Given \( \frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{1}{3} \), we can write: \[ \frac{R_1^2 H_1}{R_2^2 H_2} = \frac{1}{3} \] 4. **Substitute the Ratios of Radii:** - From the given ratio of radii \( \frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{2}{3} \), we can express \( R_1^2 \) and \( R_2^2 \): \[ \frac{R_1^2}{R_2^2} = \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{4}{9} \] 5. **Substitute into the Volume Ratio:** - Substitute \( \frac{R_1^2}{R_2^2} \) into the volume ratio equation: \[ \frac{4}{9} \cdot \frac{H_1}{H_2} = \frac{1}{3} \] 6. **Solve for the Ratio of Heights:** - Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{H_1}{H_2} = \frac{1}{3} \cdot \frac{9}{4} = \frac{3}{4} \] - Thus, the ratio of the heights \( H_1 : H_2 = 3 : 4 \). 7. **Conclusion:** - The assertion states that the ratio of heights is \( 3 : 2 \), which is incorrect. The correct ratio is \( 3 : 4 \). - The reason provided is correct as it states the formula for the volume of a cone. ### Final Answer: - The assertion (A) is **false** and the reason (R) is **true**.
