    Question

    A sphere has a total surface area of 5544 cm². How many 0.5 cm diameter small solid balls can be made from it?

    A.

    75,264

    B.

    73,584

    C.

    74,088

    D.

    76,322

    Correct option is C


    Given:
    · Total surface area of big sphere = 5544 cm²
    · Diameter of each small ball = 0.5 cm
    · Radius of each ball = 0.25 cm
    We need to find: How many tiny balls can be made from the volume of the big sphere.
    Formula:
    1. Surface area of sphere = 4πR²
    2. Volume of sphere = (4/3)πr³
    3. Number of balls = Volume of big sphere ÷ Volume of one small ball
    Solution:
    Step 1: Find radius of big sphere
    4πR² = 5544
    Take π = 22/7:
    4 × (22/7) × R² = 5544 ⇒ R² = (5544 × 7) ÷ 88 ⇒ R² = 441 ⇒ R = 21 cm
    Step 2: Volume of big sphere
    Volume = (4/3)πR³ = (4/3) × (22/7) × (21³) = 38808 cm³
    Step 3: Volume of small ball
    r = 0.25 cm
    Volume = (4/3)π(0.25³) = (4/3) × (22/7) × 0.015625 = 0.065476 cm³
    Step 4: Number of balls
    = 38808 ÷ 0.065476 = 74,088
    Correct Answer: (c) 74,088
