Given:

Ratio of Volume of Cylinder to Volume of Cone = 25 : 16

Ratio of Height of Cylinder (H1) to Height of Cone (H2) = 3 : 4

Formula Used:

Volume of Cylinder (Vcyl) = πR12H1

Volume of Cone (Vcone) = (1/3)πR22H2

Calculation:

According to the given information:

Vcyl / Vcone = 25 / 16

(πR12H1) / ((1/3)πR22H2) = 25 / 16

Substitute the ratio of heights H1/H2 = 3/4, so H1 = (3/4)H2:

(πR12(3/4)H2) / ((1/3)πR22H2) = 25 / 16

⇒ (3/4)R12 / ((1/3)R22) = 25 / 16

⇒ [(3/4)R12 × 3] / (1 × R22) = 25 / 16

⇒ 9R12 / 4R22 = 25 / 16

⇒ R12 / R22 = (25 / 16) × (4 / 9)

R12 / R22 = 100 / 144

⇒ R1 / R2 = √(100 / 144)

⇒ R1 / R2 = 10 / 12

⇒ R1 / R2 = 5 / 6

∴ The ratio of the radii of the base of the cylinder and the cone is 5 : 6.
