Solution

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Given that the radii and heights of the two cylinders are in the ratios 3:2 and 4:5 respectively, we can represent the radii as 3x and 2x, and the heights as 4y and 5y for some values of x and y.

The volume of the first cylinder (V1) is therefore π*(3x)²*(4y) = 36πxy.

The volume of the second cylinder (V2) is π*(2x)²*(5y) = 20πxy.

The ratio of the volumes V1:V2 is therefore 36πxy : 20πxy = 36:20 = 9:5.

So, the answer is A) 9:5.
