(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Solution
Let the radius of the first cylinder be and the radius of the second cylinder be . Also, let the height of the first cylinder be and the height of the second cylinder be . We are told Substituting the first equation into the second and dividing both sides by , we get Therefore,
Final answer
D
