    Question

    A sphere is melted and recast into 8 smaller spheres of

    equal size. If the radius of the original sphere is 12 cm, find the radius of each smaller sphere.
    A 6 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 8 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 4 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 5 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Volume of the original sphere = (4/3)╧АR┬│ = (4/3)╧А(12┬│) = (4/3)╧А(1728) = 2304╧А. Volume of each smaller sphere = 2304╧А / 8 = 288╧А. Let the radius of each smaller sphere be r. Volume = (4/3)╧Аr┬│. (4/3)╧Аr┬│ = 288╧А. r┬│ = 288 ├Ч (3/4) = 216. r = ┬│тИЪ216 = 6 cm. Correct option: a
