Correct Answer: 512 : 729


Solution : let $r_1$ and $r_2$ be the radius of the sphere.
Given: $\frac{\text{surface area of 1st sphere}}{\text{surface area of 2nd sphere}} = \frac{64}{81}$
⇒ $\frac{4\pi r_1^2}{4\pi r_2^2} = \frac{64}{81}$
⇒ $\frac{r_1}{r_2}=\frac{8}{9}$
Now, $\frac{\text{The volume of 1st sphere}}{\text{The volume of 2nd sphere}} = \frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi r_1^3}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r_2^3} = \frac{r_1^3}{r_2^3}$
Putting the value of $\frac{r_1}{r_2}=\frac{8}{9}$ in above equation, we get:
$\frac{\text{The volume of 1st sphere}}{\text{The volume of 2nd sphere}}= (\frac{8}{9})^3= \frac{512}{729}$
Hence, the correct answer is 512 : 729.
