A metallic cylinder has radius 3 cm and height 5 cm. To reduce its weight, a conical hole is drilled in the cylinder. The conical hole has a radius of 3/2 cm and its depth is 8/9 cm. Calculate the ratio of the volume of metal left in the cylinder to the volume of metal taken out in conical shape.

Given data,
Radius of the cylinder = 3cm
Height of the cylinder = 5cm
volume of a cylinder = π r² h
= 3.14 × (3)² × 5
= 3.14 × 9 × 5
= 141.3 cm³
∴ volume of a cylinder = 141.3 cm³
Radius of the conical hole = 3/2 cm
Depth of the conical hole = 8/9 cm
volume of the conical drill = [1/3] π r² h
= [1/3] × [3.14] × (3/2)² × 8/9
= 2.09 cm³
volume of the conical drill = 2.09 cm³
∴ volume of the metal left = 141.3 cm³ – 2.09 cm³
= 139.21 cm³
∴ volume of the metal left = 139.21 cm³
Now,
Ratio of the volume of metal left in the cylinder to the volume of metal taken out in conical shape =
= volume of the metal left / volume of the conical drill
= 139.21 cm³/2.09 cm³
∴ Ratio of the volume of metal left in the cylinder to the volume of metal taken out in conical shape is 139:2 (Approximately)
