    Question

    The ratio of volumes of spheres A and B is 8:27. If the

    difference between their total surface area is 3080 cm² then find diameter of sphere A. (in cm)
    A 10 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 28 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 24 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Volume ratio A:B = 8:27 → radii ratio = 2x : 3x Surface area of A = 4π(2x)² = 16πx² Surface area of B = 4π(3x)² = 36πx² Difference = 36πx² – 16πx² = 20πx² = 3080 Solve: 20πx² = 3080 x² = 3080 / (20 × 3.1416) ≈ 49 x = 7 Radius of A = 2x = 14 Diameter = 2 × radius = 28 cm
