Q.If the radius of a sphere is doubled, then its volume will be twice the volume of the original sphere.

The statement is false.
Let the original radius be \(r\), now it becomes \(2r\), and let the original volume be \(v\), and the new volume be \(V\). \(\therefore\) \(\cfrac{V}{v} = \cfrac{\cfrac{4}{3}\pi (2r)^3}{\cfrac{4}{3}\pi (r)^3} = \cfrac{8r^3}{r^3} = \cfrac{8}{1}\) \(\therefore\) \(V = 8 \times v\)
