Question
If the radius of a sphere is doubled, how many times does its volume becomes ?
Answer: Option D
Let the original radius be r
Then, original volume = $$\frac{4}{3}\pi {r^3}$$
New area = 2r
∴ New volume :
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{4}{3}\pi {\left( {2r} \right)^3} \cr
& = 8 \times \frac{4}{3}\pi {r^3} \cr
& = 8 \times {\text{Original volume}} \cr} $$
