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
Volume of small spheres

= [(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

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

Radius of the sphere = 16/2 = 8 cm
Volume of the sphere = (4/3) x π x 8 x 8 x 8 cm3
Radius of each lead ball = 2/2 = 1 cm
Volume of each lead ball = Volume of sphere / Volume of lead ballCorrect Option: D
Radius of the sphere = 16/2 = 8 cm
Volume of the sphere = (4/3) x π x 8 x 8 x 8 cm3
Radius of each lead ball = 2/2 = 1 cm
Volume of each lead ball = Volume of sphere / Volume of lead ball
= (4/3) π x 1 x 1 x 1 = 4π/3 cm3
∴ Number of lead balls = [(4/3) x π x 8 x 8 x 8 x 3] / [4 π]
= 8 x 8 x 8 = 512

Given that, the diameter of moon is approximately one-fourth of the diameter of Earth.
Let radius on moon = r
Then, radius of Earth = 4r
∴ Volume of Moon/Volume of Earth
= [(4/3)πr3] / [(4/3)π(4r)3]Correct Option: B
Given that, the diameter of moon is approximately one-fourth of the diameter of Earth.
Let radius on moon = r
Then, radius of Earth = 4r
∴ Volume of Moon/Volume of Earth
= [(4/3)πr3] / [(4/3)π(4r)3]
= [r3] / [64r3] = 1/64 = 1 : 64

According to the question,
Surface area of sphere = Surface area of hemisphere
4πr12 =3πr22
⇒ r1/r2 = √3/2Correct Option: D
According to the question,
Surface area of sphere = Surface area of hemisphere
4πr12 =3πr22
⇒ r1/r2 = √3/2
∴ Ratio in volume = [(4/3)πr13] / [(4/3)πr23]
= 3√3/8 : 1
