Correct Answer: 1 : 125
Solution : Let the radii r 1 = $k$ and r 2 = 5$k$ According to the question, ⇒ Volume of sphere 1 (V1) = $\frac{4}{3}\pi k^{3}$ ⇒ Volume of sphere 2 (V2) = $\frac{4}{3}\pi (5k)^{3}$ = $\frac{4}{3}\pi (125)k^{3}$ ⇒ Ratio of volumes = $\frac{V1}{V2}$ = $\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi k^{3}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi (125)k^{3}}$ = $\frac{k^{3}}{125 k^{3}}$ = $\frac{1}{125}$ Hence, the correct answer is 1 : 125.
