Answer
Let curved surface area of 1st cone be twice than that of 2nd cone.
For 1st cone,
⇒ Slant height (l1) = l
⇒ Radius = r1
⇒ Curved surface area (C1) = 2C ………(1)
For 2nd cone,
⇒ Slant height (l2) = 2l
⇒ Radius = r2
⇒ Curved surface area (C2) = C ………(2)
Dividing equation (1) by (2), we get :
⇒ r1 : r2 = 4 : 1.
Hence, ratio of radii = 4 : 1.
