    The sum of radii of two spheres is 10 cm and the sum of their volumes is \[880\,\,c{{m}^{3}}.\] What will be the product of their radii?                                                                                                                      [SSC (10+2) 2005]

    A) \[21\]                            

    B) \[26\frac{1}{3}\]

    C) \[33\frac{1}{3}\]                       

    D) \[70\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let \[{{r}_{1}}\] and \[{{r}_{2}}\]be the radii of sphere.
    Given,   \[{{r}_{1}}+{{r}_{2}}=10\]                 … (i)
    and       volume = 880
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{4}{3}\pi (r_{1}^{3}+r_{2}^{3})=880\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[r_{1}^{3}+r_{2}^{3}=\frac{880\times 3\times 7}{22\times 4}=210\]      … (ii)
    On cubing both sides of Eq. (i), we get
    \[{{({{r}_{1}}+{{r}_{2}})}^{3}}=1000\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[r_{1}^{3}+r_{2}^{3}+3{{r}_{1}}{{r}_{2}}({{r}_{1}}+{{r}_{2}})=1000\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[210+3{{r}_{1}}{{r}_{2}}(10)=1000\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[30{{r}_{1}}{{r}_{2}}=1000-210=790\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{r}_{1}}{{r}_{2}}=\frac{790}{30}=\frac{79}{3}=26\frac{1}{3}\]
