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.
