Detailed Solution

As, cone, hemisphere and cylinder have same base. So,
Radius of cone = Radius of hemisphere = Radius of cylinder = r(say)
Also, cone, hemisphere and cylinder have same height. So,
Height of cone = Height of hemisphere = Height of cylinder = h(say)
Now,
Volume of cone =13πr2h
Volume of hemisphere = 23πr3
Volume of cylinder πr2h
So, the required ratio,
cone: hemisphere: cylinder
=13πr2h:23πr3:πr2h
=13πr2r:23πr3:πr2
=13πr3:23πr3:πr3
=13:23:1 
=1:2:3 
Correct option is 1.
