    Let the radius of the base of a right circular cylinder be r and height be h.

    Volume of the cylinder, V1 = πr2h

    The radius of the base of a right circular cylinder is halved and the height is doubled.

    So radius of new cylinder = r/2

    Height of new cylinder = 2h

    Volume of the new cylinder, V2 = πr2h

    = π(r/2)×2h

    = ½ πr2h

    So ratio of volume of new cylinder to the original cylinder , V2/V1= ½ πr2h/πr2h = ½

    Hence the required ratio is 1:2.
