The curved surface area of a cylindrical pillar is 264 m² and its volume is 924 m³. Find the ratio of its diameter to its height.

$$\eqalign{ & \frac{{\pi \,{r^2}h}}{{2\pi \,rh}} = \frac{{924}}{{264}}\, \cr & \Rightarrow r = {\frac{{924}}{{264}} \times 2} = 7m \cr & {\text{And}},\,2\pi rh = 264 \cr & \Rightarrow h = {264 \times \frac{7}{{22}} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{7}} = 6m \cr & \therefore {\text{Required}}\,{\text{ratio}} \cr & = \frac{{2r}}{h} = \frac{{14}}{6} = 7:3 \cr} $$
