Given:

The ratio of the volume of the two spheres = 64 : 27

Formula used:

The volume of the sphere = (4/3) × π × R3

The surface area of the sphere = 4 × π × R2     Where R = The radius of the sphere

Calculation:

Let us assume the ratio of the surface area of the sphere be X : Y and the radius of the spheres be R1 and R2 respectively

⇒ The volume of the first sphere = [(4/3) × π × R13]     ----(1)

⇒ The volume of the second cylinder = [(4/3) × π × R23]     ----(2)

⇒ According to the question equation (1) ÷ (2) = 64 : 27

⇒ (R1/R2)3 = 64/27

⇒ R1/R2 = ∛(64/27)

⇒ R1/R2 = 4/3

⇒ Let us assume the radius of the first sphere = 4x and the second sphere = 3x

⇒ The surface area of the first sphere = 4 × π × (4x)2 = 64πx2     ----(3)

⇒ The surface area of the second sphere = 4 × π × (3x)2 = 36πx2     ----(4)

⇒ The ratio of the surface of the spheres = (64πx2)/(36πx2)

⇒ The ratio of the surface area of the spheres = 16/9

⇒ The ratio of their surface area X : Y = 16 : 9

∴ The required result will be 16 : 9.
