Question: The diameter of the Moon is assumed to be one-fourth of the diameter of the Earth. Then, the ratio of the volume of the Earth to that of the Moon is
Options:
A) 64 : 1
B) 1 : 64
C) 60 : 7
D) 7 : 60
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Let the diameter of Earth be d.
Then, diameter of moon $ =\frac{1}{4}d $
$ \therefore $ $ Ratio=\frac{VolumeofEarth}{VolumeofMoon}=\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi {{( \frac{d}{2} )}^{3}}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi {{( \frac{d}{8} )}^{3}}}=64:1 $
