Question : If the radius of a hemispherical balloon increases from 4 cm to 7 cm as air is pumped into it, find the ratio of the surface area of the new balloon to its original.
Option 1: 16 : 21
Option 2: 49 : 16
Option 3: 20 : 49
Option 4: 21 : 12
Correct Answer: 49 : 16
Solution : The surface area of a hemisphere = $3 \pi r^2$ The radius of the balloon before pumping air, $r_1$ = 4 cm The radius of the balloon after pumping air, $r_2$ = 7 cm The surface area of the balloon before pumping air, $SA_1$ = $3 \pi r_1^2$ The surface area of the balloon after pumping air, $SA_2$ = $3 \pi r_2^2$ The ratio of the surface areas of the balloon, = $\frac{SA_2}{SA_1}$ = $\frac{3 \pi r_2^2}{3 \pi r_1^2}$ = $\frac{(r_2)^2}{(r_1)^2}$ = $(\frac{7}{4})^2$ = $\frac{49}{16}$ The ratio of the surface areas of the balloons = 49 : 16 Hence, the correct answer is 49 : 16.
