If the volumes of spheres are 27 : 8, then their ratio of surface areas is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 9 : 4.

Volume of sphere(V) = 434\over3πr3

here, r = radius

V1V2V_1\over V_2 = 43πr1343πr23{{4\over3}\pi r_1^3}\over{{4\over3}\pi r_2^3} = (r1r2)3({r_1\over r_2})^3

⇒ (r1r2)3({r_1\over r_2})^3 = 27827\over8

⇒ r1r2{r_1\over r_2} = 323\over2

Surface area ratio = (r1r2{r_1\over r_2})2 = (323\over2)2 = 949\over4 = 9 : 4
