Question

Two cubes have their volumes in the ratio 1 : 27. Find the ratio of their surface areas.



Options:
A .  1 : 3
B .  3 : 1
C .  1 : 9
D .  9 : 1
Answer: Option C

Let their edges be a and b.
a3/b3 = 1/27
(a/b)3 = (1/3)3
(a/b) = (1/3)
Ratio of their surface area = 6a2/6b2 = a2/b2 = (a/b)2 = 1/9,
i.e. 1:9
