Question:If a solid sphere of radius `10 cm` is moulded into `8` spherical solid balls of equal radius , then the radius of each such ball is :
A `1.25 cm`
B `2.5 cm`
C `3.75 cm`
D `5 cm`
/113
+ Answer
D
+ ExplanationVOlume of each ball
`= 1/8 xx (4/3 π xx 10 xx 10 xx 10) cm^3.
:. 4/3 π R^3`
`= 1/8 xx 4/3 π xx 10 xx 10 xx 10`
`or R^3 = (10/2)^3 = 5^3.`
`So, R = 5.`
