When a right-angled triangle is revolved about the perpendicular side, a cone is formed whose,

Height of the cone = Length of the axis= $h = 5\ cm$

Base radius of the cone = $r = 12\ cm$

And, Slant height of the cone = $l = 13\ cm$

We know,

The volume of a cone = $\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$

The required volume of the cone formed = $\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{22}{7}\times12^2\times5$

$\\ = \pi\times4\times60 \\ = 240\pi\ cm^3$

Now, Ratio of the volumes of the two solids = $\\ = \frac{100\pi}{240\pi}$

$\\ = \frac{5}{12}$

Therefore, the required ratio is $5:12$
