A sphere of radius 6 cm is melted and recast into spheres of radius 2 cm each. How many such spheres can be made?

A sphere of radius 6 cm is melted and recast into spheres of radius 2 cm each. How many such spheres can be made? Correct Answer 27

As we know,

Volume of sphere = 4/3 π r3

Radius of bigger sphere R = 6 cm

and radius of smaller sphere = 2 cm

Suppose x small spheres made by the bigger sphere.

According to the question

⇒ 4/3 π r3 × x = 4/3 π R3

⇒ 4/3 × π × 23 × x = 4/3 × π × 63

⇒ x = 27
