Question: If the ratio of volumes of two sphere are in the ratio of `4 : 25, then the ratio of their volumes is :
A
B
C
D
`1 : 2`
B
`1 : 4`
C
`1 : 8`
D
`1 : 16`
Note: Let their radii be R and r. Then,
`(4/3 π R^3)/(4/3 π r^3)`
`1/8 ⇒ (R/r)^3`
`= 1/8 = (1/2)^3.`
So, R/r = 1/2.`
Ratio of surface areas
`= (4 πR^2)/(4πr^2)`
`= (R/r)^2`
`= 1/4.`
