Answer

Let radius and heights of two cylinders be r1, h1 and r2, h2.

Given, h1h2=53 and r1r2=23\dfrac{h1}{h2} = \dfrac{5}{3} \text{ and } \dfrac{r1}{r2} = \dfrac{2}{3}.

Volume of cylinder 1 = V1 and

Volume of cylinder 2 = V2.

V1V2=πr12h1πr22h2=(r1r2)2×h1h2=(23)2×53=49×53=2027.\dfrac{V1}{V2} = \dfrac{πr1^2h1}{πr2^2h2} \\[1em] = \Big(\dfrac{r1}{r2}\Big)^2 \times \dfrac{h1}{h2} \\[1em] = \Big(\dfrac{2}{3}\Big)^2 \times \dfrac{5}{3} \\[1em] = \dfrac{4}{9} \times \dfrac{5}{3} \\[1em] = \dfrac{20}{27}.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
