Question:
Three solid metallic spherical balls of radii 3cm , 4 cm are melted into a single spherical ball. What will be its radius
Answer:

The correct question is:

Three solid metallic spherical balls of radii 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm are melted into a single spherical ball. What will be its radius?

Solution:

Let r1 , r2 ,r3 are the radii of the given 3 spheres.

So, r1 = 3, r2 = 4, r3 = 5

Again, let radius of the new sphere is R

Now, given Three solid metallic spherical balls are melted into a single spherical ball.

So, sum of volume of the three sphere = volume of the new sphere

=> (4/3)*π*r13 + (4/3)*π*r23 + (4/3)*π*r33 = (4/3)*π*R3

=> r13 + r23 + r33 = R3

=> 33 + 43 + 53 = R3

=> R3 = 27 + 64 + 125

=> R3 = 216

=> R = 3√216

=> R = 3√(6*6*6)

=> R = 6

So, the radius of the new sphere is 6 cm.
