Question:

The ratio between the volumes of Sphere 1 and Sphere 2 is 27 : 64. Find the ratio of the surface areas of Sphere 1 and Sphere 2.

Options:

9 : 16

16 : 9

3 : 4

41 : 3

Correct Answer:

9 : 16

Explanation:

The ratio between the volumes of Sphere 1 and Sphere 2 =  27 ∶ 64.

According to the question,

\(\frac{r^3}{R^3}\) = \(\frac{27}{64}\)  

\(\frac{r}{R}\) = \(\frac{3}{4}\) 

Now the ratio of the surface areas of Sphere 1 and Sphere 2 = \(\frac{3^2}{4^2}\) = \(\frac{9}{16}\)
