If the volume of two spheres is in the ratio 27: 64, then the ratio of their radii is:
- (a)3 : 4
- (b)4 : 3
- (c)9 : 16
- (d)16 : 9

Given, the volume of two spheres = 27: 64
By formula, volume of a sphere = $\frac{4πr^3}{3}$, where r is the radius of the sphere.
Let r and R be the radii of the two spheres.
$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{\frac{4πr^3}{3}}{\frac{4πR^3}{3}} = \frac{27}{64} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{r^3}{R^3} = \frac{27}{64} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{r}{R} = \frac{\sqrt[3]{27}}{\sqrt[3]{64}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{r}{R} = \frac{3}{4}.\end{aligned}$$
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
