You have asked to find the radius. But no length measurements of the cone has been given anywhere.
You can arrive at the given solution because the ratio between a volume and area is given in the question. In fact, it is wrong to get ratio between two different units.

Question:
A right angled circular cone has the half vertex angle as 30°. What will be the radius of the cone if the ratio of the volume to the slant surface area is 1 : 3?
Options:
A) \(\cfrac{2}{\sqrt[]{3}}\)
B) \(\cfrac{\sqrt[]{3}}{2}\)
C) \(\cfrac{1}{\sqrt[]{3}}\)
D) \(\cfrac{3}{2}\)
Solution:
Ans: (a) 


Let the height be h and radius be r.

In \(\triangle\)OAB,

tan300 = \(\cfrac{r}{h}\Rightarrow h=\sqrt[]{3}r\)

Required ratio as given

Take r,h,l as variables. Convert all variables in one variable. Get the answer.
