    Ratio of surface areas of two cubes is 25 : 36. Find the ratio of their volumes.

    A)  5 : 6   

    B)                     125 : 216       

    C)  1 : 2   

    D)                     64 : 216         

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let \[{{l}_{1}}\] and \[{{l}_{2}}\] be the length of sides of the cubes. According to question, \[\frac{6l_{1}^{2}}{6l_{2}^{2}}=\frac{25}{36}\Rightarrow \frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}=\frac{5}{6}\] \[\therefore \] Ratio of volume of two cubes. \[={{\left( \frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}} \right)}^{3}}={{\left( \frac{5}{6} \right)}^{3}}=\frac{125}{216}i.e.,125:216\]
