    Explanation

    circumference of A = 2πr2\mathrm{πr} = 8 => so r = 4π\frac4{\mathrm\pi} volume = π×(4π)2×10\mathrm\pi\times\left(\frac4{\mathrm\pi}\right)^2\times10 = 160π\frac{160}{\mathrm\pi} circumference of B = 2πr2\mathrm{πr}  = 10 => so r = 5π\frac5{\mathrm\pi} volume = π×(5π)2×8\mathrm\pi\times\left(\frac5{\mathrm\pi}\right)^2\times8 = 200π\frac{200}{\mathrm\pi} so ratio of capacities = 160/200 = 0.8 so capacity of A will be 80% of the capacity of B.
