  • Question
  • A metallic sphere of radius 12 cm is melted into three smaller spheres. If the radii of two smaller spheres are 6 cm and 8 cm, the radius of the third is?


  • Options
  • A. 14 cm
  • B. 16 cm
  • C. 10 cm
  • D. 12 cm

  • Correct Answer
  • 10 cm 

    Explanation

    Let radius of the third sphere be r.
    Then, 4/3 ? x (12)3 = 4/3 ? x (6)3 + 4/3? x (8)3 + 4/3 ?r3
    ? (12)3 = (6)3 + (8)3 + r3
    ? r3 = 1728 - 216 - 512
    ? r3 = 1000
    ? r = 10 cm
