Question

If three metallic spheres of radii 6 cms and 10 cms are melted to from a single sphere , the diameter of the new sphere will be :


Options:
A .  12 cms
B .  24 cms
C .  30 cms
D .  36 cms
Answer: Option B

Volume of new sphere = `[ 4/3 pi xx (6)^3 + 4/3 pi xx (8)^3 + 4/3 pi xx (10)^3]  cm^3`

                                        = `{4/3 pi [(6)^3 + (8)^3 + (10)^3]} cm^3`
                                        = `(4/3 pi xx 1728) cm^3`
                                        = `[4/3 pi xx (12)^3]  cm^3`
Let he radius of he new sphere be  R.   Then ,
`4/3 pi R^3 = 4/3 pi xx (12)^3`
`hArr    R^3 = (12)^3`
`rArr   R = 12 cm`
`:.`     Diameter = 2R = 24 cm.
