    How many hollow spheres having inner radius of 1 cm can be completely filled by transferring water from a completely filled hollow sphere having inner
    Question

    How many hollow spheres having inner radius of 1 cm can be completely filled by transferring water from a completely filled hollow sphere having inner diameter of 20 cm?

    A.

    400

    B.

    100

    C.

    1000

    D.

    8000

    Correct option is C

    Formula:
    Volume of a sphere = (4/3) × π × r³
    Number of smaller spheres = Volume of large sphere ÷ Volume of one small sphere
    Solution:
    Inner diameter of large sphere = 20 cm → Radius = 10 cm
    Inner radius of small sphere = 1 cm
    Volume of large sphere
    Volume of large sphere=43π(10)3=43π1000=40003πVolume of one small sphere=43π(1)3=43πNumber of small spheres=40003π43π=40003÷43=40004=1000\begin{aligned}&\text{Volume of large sphere} \\&= \frac{4}{3} \pi (10)^3 \\&= \frac{4}{3} \pi \cdot 1000 \\&= \frac{4000}{3} \pi \\\\&\text{Volume of one small sphere} \\&= \frac{4}{3} \pi (1)^3 \\&= \frac{4}{3} \pi \\\\&\text{Number of small spheres} \\&= \frac{\frac{4000}{3} \pi}{\frac{4}{3} \pi} \\&= \frac{4000}{3} \div \frac{4}{3} \\&= \frac{4000}{4} = 1000\end{aligned}​​
    Final Answer: (c) 1000
    Required number of hollow sphere of radius 1 cm is 1000.
