    Two cubes have volumes in the ratio 1:27. The ratio of the area of the face of one to that of the other is __.             

    A)  1 : 3               

    B)         1 : 6   

    C)         1 : 9               

    D)         1 : 18 

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let sides of two cubes be \[{{a}_{1}}\] and \[{{a}_{2}}\] So, \[\frac{a_{1}^{3}}{a_{2}^{3}}=\frac{1}{27}.\] Taking cube root, we get \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{1}{3}\] Area of face of first cube \[=a_{1}^{2}\] And area of face of other cube \[=a_{2}^{2}\] \[\therefore \] Required ratio \[=\frac{a_{1}^{2}}{a_{2}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}} \right)}^{2}}\]                         \[={{\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{1}{9}=1:9\]
