A spherical ball of radius 14 cm is melted and recast into small spherical balls of radius 7 cm each, in this process 20% of the material waste, then find how many complete small spherical balls can be made?
A spherical ball of radius 14 cm is melted and recast into small spherical balls of radius 7 cm each, in this process 20% of the material waste, then find how many complete small spherical balls can be made? Correct Answer 6
Radius of bigger spherical ball R = 14 cm
Radius of smaller spherical ball r = 7 cm
Let the number of small spherical ball be n.
According to the question
⇒ (4/3) × π R3 × 80/100 = n × 4/3 × πr3
⇒ R3 × 0.8 = n × r3
⇒ 143 × 0.8 = n × 73
⇒ n = 8 × 0.8 = 6.4
So, complete balls made only 6.
