A shopkeeper has one spherical laddoo of radius 5 cm. With the same amount of material, how many laddoos of radius 2.5 cm can be made?

Given that, radius of a spherical laddoo = 5 cm

Volume of that laddoo, v = 4/3 πr3



We have 523.81 cm3 of material of laddoo.


Volume of laddoo of radius 2.5 cm =


Then, laddoos that can be made out of 523.81 cm3 volume of laddoo material, of radius 2.5 cm can be found out as,


No. of laddoos = 523.81/65.48 = 8


Thus, 8 laddoos of radius 2.5 cm can be made out of the same amount of material.
