Answer

Radius of first solid sphere (r) = 10 cm

Radius of second solid sphere (R) = 20 cm

Ratio of volumes of two spheres :

⇒Vol. of 1st sphereVol. of 2nd sphere=43πr343πR3=r3R3=103203=10008000=18=1:8.\Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{Vol. of 1st sphere}}{\text{Vol. of 2nd sphere}} = \dfrac{\dfrac{4}{3}πr^3}{\dfrac{4}{3}πR^3} \\[1em] = \dfrac{r^3}{R^3} \\[1em] = \dfrac{10^3}{20^3} \\[1em] = \dfrac{1000}{8000} \\[1em] = \dfrac{1}{8} \\[1em] = 1 : 8.

Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
