  • Question
  • If 64 identical small spheres are made out of a big sphere of diameter 8 cm, what is surface area of each small sphere?


  • Options
  • A. ? cm2
  • B. 2 ? cm2
  • C. 4 ? cm2
  • D. 8 ? cm2

  • Correct Answer
  • 4 ? cm2 

    Explanation

    Volume of small spheres
    = Volume of bigger sphere / Number of small spheres = [(4/3)?(4)3] / 64
    = [(4/3) x ? x 4 x 4 x 4] / 64
    = 4/3 ? cm3

    Let radius of small sphere be r
    ? 4/3?r3 = 4?/3
    ? r2 = 1 cm
    Now, surface area of small sphere = 4?r2 = 4? cm2
