Q8 of 94 Page 228

Two cubes have their volumes in the ratio 1 : 27. The ratio of their surface areas is

Given that,

Volumes are in the ration 1: 27


Therefore,


= =


a =


a =


Or b = 3a


Or


We have to find out ratio of their surface areas:


=


=


=


=


Therefore, the surface areas are in the ratio 1: 9


Hence, option B is correct
