  1. Volume of cone : (πr²h)/3

    Where r= radius of cone and h = height of cone.

    Let V1 be the volume of one cone and V2 the other.

    Then V1=(π(r1)² h1)/3

    V2=(π [r2]² h2)/3

    V1:V2=1:4

    V2=4V1. This leads to

    (π/3)(r2)² h2=4*(π/3)(r1)² h1

    Simplifying the equation ,we have

    (r2)² *h2=4*(r1)² *h1…1

    Also the diameters are in the ratio 4:5.

    So r1:r2=4:5

    4r2=5r1

    r2=(5/4)r1

    Substituting these in equation 1

    {(5/4)r1}² * h2=4*(r1)² * h1

    (25/16) * h2 = h1 * 4

    25 h2 = 4 * 16h1

    25 h2 = 64h1

    h1:h2=25:64

    The heights are in the ratio 25:64
