    Question

    A sphere of radius 21 cm is melted and recast into 66

    smaller spheres of equal size. Find the radius of each smaller sphere(approximately).
    A 7 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 9 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Volume of a sphere = (4/3)Ο€rΒ³. Volume of the large sphere = (4/3)Ο€(21)Β³ = (4/3)Ο€ Γ— 9261 = 12348Ο€ cmΒ³. Volume of one smaller sphere = Total volume Γ· Number of smaller spheres = 12348Ο€ Γ· 66 = 187Ο€ cmΒ³. Let the radius of each smaller sphere be r. (4/3)Ο€rΒ³ = 187Ο€. rΒ³ = (187 Γ— 3)/4 = 140.25. r = βˆ›140.25 β‰ˆ 5 cm. Correct answer: c) 5 cm
