Correct Answer: 1 : 8

Solution : The curved surface area of a cone $ = \pi rl$ where $r$ is the radius and $l$ is the slant height of the cone.
Given that the ratio of the curved surface areas of two cones = 1 : 4
$⇒\frac{\pi r_1 l_1}{\pi r_2 l_2} = \frac{1}{4}$
Also, given that the ratio of the slant heights of the two cones = 2 : 1
$⇒\frac{l_1}{l_2} = \frac{2}{1}$
$⇒\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8}$
Hence, the correct answer is 1 : 8.
