SSC CGL 2016 PYQ — Question 48

SSC CGL Tier II Quant - 30/11/2016 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q48

A solid sphere and a solid hemisphere have the same total surface area. The ratio of their volumes is (Take π = 22/7)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 3√3 : 4

TSA of sphere = TSA of hemisphere

4πx2 = 3πy2

x/y = √3/2

Volume of sphere = (4/3 πx3)/(2/3 πy3) = 2(x/y)3 = 2(√3/2)3 = 3√3/4

Required ratio = 3√3 : 4
