    If the ratio of the diameters of two spheres is 4:5, then what is the ratio of their surface areas?

    A)  16 : 25      

    B)  9 : 10

    C)  3 : 5                            

    D)  16 : 25

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a): Given that, let the diameters of two sphere are \[{{d}_{1}}\]and \[{{d}_{2}}\]respectively. \[\therefore {{d}_{1}}:{{d}_{2}}=4:5\] \[\therefore \]Ratio of their surface areas \[=\frac{4\pi {{r}_{1}}^{2}}{4\pi {{r}_{2}}^{2}}=\frac{{{\left( 2{{r}_{1}} \right)}^{2}}}{{{\left( 2{{r}_{2}} \right)}^{2}}}=\frac{{{d}_{1}}^{2}}{{{d}_{2}}^{2}}\] \[={{\left( \frac{{{d}_{1}}}{{{d}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{4}{5} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{16}{25}\] \[=16:25\]
