    Question

    The volumes of two hemispheres are in the ratio 1000:3375.

    Determine the ratio of their total surface areas. (Take π = 22/7)
    A 5:9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5:7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 4:9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3:7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Volume of a hemisphere = (2/3) × π × radius³

    Let the radii of the two hemispheres be ‘A’ and ‘a’ unit’s respectively.

    So,

    [(2/3) × π × A³] : [(2/3) × π × a³] = 1000 : 3375

    ⇒ A³ : a³ = 1000 : 3375

    ⇒ A : a = 10 : 15 = 2 : 3

    Total surface area of a hemisphere = 3 × π × radius²

    So, required ratio = (3 × π × A²) : (3 × π × a²)

    ⇒ A² : a² = 2² : 3² = 4 : 9
