    Question

    Two cubes have their volumes in the ratio 1 : 125. Find the ratio of their surface areas.

    A.

    1 : 125

    B.

    1 : 25

    C.

    25 : 1

    D.

    1 : 5

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    Ratio of volume of two cubes = 1:125
    Formula Used:
    Volume of cube = a3a^3​​
    Total surface area of cube =  6a26a^2​​
    where a is side of cube
    Solution:
    Ratio = ((Volume of one cube)/(Volume of second cube)) = (a13)(a23)=1125\frac{(a_1^3)}{(a_2^3 )} = \frac{1}{125}​​
    Taking cube root both sides
    (a13)(a23)=1125)  a1a2=15\sqrt{\frac{ (a_1^3)}{(a_2^3 )}}=\sqrt\frac{1}{125}) \\\ \\\ \frac{a_1}{a_2} =\frac{1}{5}​​
    Ratio of their surface areas =  (a12)(a22)=(15)2=125\frac{(a_1^2)}{(a_2^2 )} = (\frac{1}{5})^2 = \frac{1}{25}​​
