Question:

As air is pumped into a spherical balloon, its radius increases from 7 cm to 14 cm. Find the ratio of volume of the balloon's in both circumstances.

Options:

2 : 5

1 : 9

1 : 8

3 : 7

Correct Answer:

1 : 8

Explanation:

Let, r = radius before pumping and,

 R = radius after pumping air.

We know that,

= volume : VOLUME = r: R3

We have,

 r : R = 7 : 14 = 1 : 2

According to the concept,

= v : V = r3 : R3 = 7: 143

= 13 : 23 = 1 : 8
