Question Detail
If the volume of two cubes are in the ratio 27:1, the ratio of their edges is:
- 3:1
- 3:2
- 3:5
- 3:7
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let the edges be a and b of two cubes, then
\begin{aligned}
\frac{a^3}{b^3} = \frac{27}{1} \\
=> \left( \frac{a}{b} \right)^3 = \left( \frac{3}{1} \right)^3 \\
\frac{a}{b}=\frac{3}{1} \\
=> a:b = 3:1
\end{aligned}
