Question:

The ratio of the total surface area and volume of a sphere is 2 : 7. Its radius is:

Options:

7.5 cm

10.5 cm

10 cm

7 cm

Correct Answer:

10.5 cm

Explanation:

We know that,

Total surface area of sphere = 4πr2

Volume of a sphere = \(\frac{4}{3}\) πr3

We have,

Ratio of total surface area and volume of a sphere = 2 ∶ 7

According to the question,

(4πr2) : (\(\frac{4}{3}\) πr3) = 2 : 7

= \(\frac{3}{r}\) = \(\frac{2}{7}\) 

= r = 10.5cm
