Q.A solid sphere with a radius of 3 cm is melted and recast into several small spherical balls, each with a diameter of 0.6 cm. How many such balls are formed? (a) 1000 (b) 500 (c) 900 (d) 800
Answer: A
Let the number of small balls be \(n\) ∴ \(\cfrac{4}{3}\pi \left(\cfrac{0.6}{2}\right)^3 \times n = \cfrac{4}{3}\pi \times 3^3\) Or, \(\left(\cfrac{3}{10}\right)^3 \times n = 27\) Or, \(\cfrac{27}{1000} \times n = 27\) ∴ \(n = 1000\)
