Question

If the radius of a sphere is reduced by 50%, then the new volume will become _______   the original volume.

A.

4 times

B.

14\frac{1}{4} times​

C.

​​18\frac{1}{8}​ times

D.

8 times

Correct option is C

Given:

The radius of a sphere is reduced by 50%.

Formula Used:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is:

Volume of a sphere = (4/3)πr³

Solution:

Let the original radius be r.

The original volume = (4/3)πr³

Now, if the radius is reduced by 50%, the new radius becomes r/2.

The new volume = (43)π(r2)3(\frac{4}{3})π(\frac{r}{2})³​​

So, the new volume will be 1/8th of the original volume.

The new volume will become 1/8th of the original volume.
