If the radius of hemisphere is decreased by 37.5%, then by what percent (approximately) the volume of hemisphere will decrease?1. 74%2. 73%3. 77%4. 75.6%

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
