A shopkeeper has one spherical laddoo of radius 7 cm. With the same material, how many laddoos of radius 3.5 cm can be made?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 8.

Volume of a sphere = (4/3) × π × r3

Big laddoo: radius 7 cm → small laddoo: radius 3.5 cm (half).

Number of small laddoos = (7 ÷ 3.5)3 = 23 = 8
