To compare the volumes of the cylinder and the cone, we will use the formulas for their volumes.
The volume \( V \) of a cylinder is given by:
\[
V_{\text{cylinder}} = \pi r^2 h
\]
where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height.
The volume \( V \) of a cone is given by:
\[
V_{\text{cone}} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h
\]
Given that the volumes of the cylinder and cone are equal, we can set them equal to each other:
\[
\pi r_{\text{cylinder}}^2 h_{\text{cylinder}} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r_{\text{cone}}^2 h_{\text{cone}}
\]
Simplifying gives:
\[
3 r_{\text{cylinder}}^2 h_{\text{cylinder}} = r_{\text{cone}}^2 h_{\text{cone}}
\]
Now, let's evaluate the provided options for the cone's radius and height.
1. **Radius of the cone = 15; Height of the cone = 4**
\[
r_{\text{cone}} = 15, \quad h_{\text{cone}} = 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad r_{\text{cone}}^2 h_{\text{cone}} = 15^2 \times 4 = 225 \times 4 = 900
\]
2. **Radius of the cone = 15; Height of the cone = 12**
\[
r_{\text{cone}} = 15, \quad h_{\text{cone}} = 12 \quad \Rightarrow \quad r_{\text{cone}}^2 h_{\text{cone}} = 15^2 \times 12 = 225 \times 12 = 2700
\]
3. **Radius of the cone = 5; Height of the cone = 4**
\[
r_{\text{cone}} = 5, \quad h_{\text{cone}} = 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad r_{\text{cone}}^2 h_{\text{cone}} = 5^2 \times 4 = 25 \times 4 = 100
\]
4. **Radius of the cone = 5; Height of the cone = 12**
\[
r_{\text{cone}} = 5, \quad h_{\text{cone}} = 12 \quad \Rightarrow \quad r_{\text{cone}}^2 h_{\text{cone}} = 5^2 \times 12 = 25 \times 12 = 300
\]
Now we need the cylinder's volume \( 3 r_{\text{cylinder}}^2 h_{\text{cylinder}} \) to match one of these cone volumes. Let's determine possible values for the cylinder's dimensions or verify if any of these calculations yield a realistic volume:
To decide, we'd require more information about the dimensions of the cylinder. However, since we only need the cone's values, typically, the option with higher volume could yield equality easily with various cylinder dimensions.
Among the given options, **second option** (radius of the cone = 15; height of the cone = 12) yields a volume of 2700, which is a high value, thus more probable to match typical cylinder volumes.

**Radius of the cone = 15; Height of the cone = 12**.

3. **Radius of the cone = 5; Height of the cone = 4**
\[
r_{\text{cone}} = 5, \quad h_{\text{cone}} = 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad r_{\text{cone}}^2 h_{\text{cone}} = 5^2 \times 4 = 25 \times 4 = 100
