Let the diameter's of two sphere are d1 and d2, respectively.
∴ Ratio of their surface areas = 4πr12/4πr22Correct Option: A
Let the diameter's of two sphere are d1 and d2, respectively.
∴ Ratio of their surface areas = 4πr12/4πr22
= (2r1)2/(2r2)2 = d12/d22
= (d1/d2)2 = (3/5)2 = 9/25 = 9 : 25

Volume of small spheres
= Volume of bigger sphere / Number of small spheres = [(4/3)π(4)3] / 64
= [(4/3) x π x 4 x 4 x 4] / 64
= 4/3 π cm3
Let radius of small sphere be r
∴ 4/3πr3 = 4π/3
⇒ r2 = 1 cmCorrect Option: C

= [(4/3) x π x 4 x 4 x 4] / 64
= 4/3 π cm3
Let radius of small sphere be r
∴ 4/3πr3 = 4π/3
⇒ r2 = 1 cm
Now, surface area of small sphere = 4πr2 = 4π cm2

Curved surface area = 2πr2
Correct Option: A
Curved surface area = 2πr2
= 2π x 14 x 14 = 2 x (22/7) x 14 x 14
= 2 x 22 x 2 x 14
= 88 x 14
= 1232 sq cm
- What will be the difference between total surface area and curved surface area of a hemisphere having 2 cm diameter ?

Given,
Diameter = 2 cm
∴ r = 1 cm
Now, Total surface area of hemisphere = 3πr2
and curved surface area = 2πr2
Required difference = 3πr2 - 2πr2 = πr2Correct Option: C

Let radius of the third sphere be r.
Then, 4/3 π x (12)3 = 4/3 π x (6)3 + 4/3π x (8)3 + 4/3 πr3Correct Option: C
Let radius of the third sphere be r.
Then, 4/3 π x (12)3 = 4/3 π x (6)3 + 4/3π x (8)3 + 4/3 πr3
⇒ (12)3 = (6)3 + (8)3 + r3
⇒ r3 = 1728 - 216 - 512
⇒ r3 = 1000
∴ r = 10 cm
