Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 75.6% Given: The radius of the hemisphere is decreased by 37.5%. Formula used: The volume of a hemisphere = (2/3)πr3 Where r → The radius of the sphere Calculations: Let r1 be the old radius and r2 be the new radius. As, 37.5% = 37.5/100 = 3/8 According to the question, The ratio of the old radius to the new one = 8 ∶ (8 - 3) = 8 ∶ 5 So, The ratio of the volumes = {(2/3)π(r1)3} ∶ {(2/3)π(r2)3} ⇒ (r1)3 ∶ (r2)3 = 512 ∶ 125 Decrease = 512 - 125 = 387 % Decrease = (387/512) × 100 ≈ 75.6% ∴ The volume of the hemisphere will decrease by 75.6% approximately |
