Question

How many spherical solid marbles, each having a radius of 0.3 cm. can be made from a solid sphere having a radius of 6 cm?

A.

9000

B.

7500

C.

8000

D.

8500

Correct option is C

Given:
Radius of the solid sphere: 6 cm
Radius of each marble: 0.3 cm
Formula Used:
Volume of a sphere = 43πr3\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3​​
Number of marbles = Volume of the solid sphereVolume of one marble\frac{\text{Volume of the solid sphere}}{\text{Volume of one marble}}​​
Solution:
Volume of the solid sphere:
V1=43π(6)3V1=43π216V1=288πV_1 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (6)^3\\V_1 = \frac{4}{3} \pi 216\\V_1 = 288\pi\\​​
Volume of one marble:
V2=43π(0.3)3V2=43π0.027V2=0.036πV_2 = \frac{4}{3} \pi (0.3)^3\\V_2 = \frac{4}{3} \pi 0.027\\V_2 = 0.036\pi\\​​
Number of marbles=V1V2Number of marbles=288π0.036πNumber of marbles=8000\text{Number of marbles} = \frac{V_1}{V_2}\\\text{Number of marbles} = \frac{288\pi}{0.036\pi}\\\text{Number of marbles} = 8000\\​​
Therefore, 8000 marbles can be made.
