Correct option is: (C) 3 : 1

Let r and h be the radii and heights of both cylinder and cube.

\(\therefore\) Volume of cylinder = \(\pi r^2\)h

volume of cone = \(\frac 13\) \(\pi r^2\)h

\(\therefore\) Ratio of their volumes = \(\frac {V_1}{V_2} \) = \( \frac {\pi r^2h}{\frac 13 \pi r^2h}\) = \(\frac 31\) = 3 :1

Hence, their volumes are in the ration 3 : 1
