Question

The capacities of two hemispherical vessels are 6.4 litres and 21.6 litres . The areas of inner curved surfaces of the vessels will be in the ratio of :


Options:
A .  `sqrt(2) : sqrt(3)`
B .  2 : 3
C .  4 : 9
D .  16 : 81
Answer: Option C

Let their radii be R and r. Then ,

`(2/3  pi R^3)/(2/3 pi r^3 )= 6.4/21.6`

` hArr     (R/r)^3 = 8/27`

`hArr     (R/r)^3 = (2/3)^3`

`hArr    R/r = 2/3`

`:.`       Ratio of curved surface  areas = `(2 pi R^2)/(2 pi r^2)`

                                                             = `(R/r)^2 = (2/3)^2 =  4/9`
