If the radius of a sphere is increased by 4 cm, its surface area is increased by 464π cm2. What is the volume (in cm3) of the original sphere?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
$$\eqalign{
& 4\pi \left[ {{{\left( {R + 4} \right)}^2} - {R^2}} \right] = 464\pi \cr
& 4\left( {R + 4 + R} \right)\left( {R + 4 - R} \right) = 464 \cr
& 16\left( {2R + 4} \right) = 464 \cr
& 2R + 4 = 29 \cr
& R = \frac{{25}}{2} \cr
& {\text{Volume of sphare}} = \frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3} \cr
& = \frac{4}{3}\pi \times {\left( {\frac{{25}}{2}} \right)^3} \cr
& = \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{{15625}}{8}\pi \cr
& = \frac{{15625}}{6}\pi \cr} $$
