Answer

Given, the volume of two spheres = 27: 64

By formula, volume of a sphere = 4πr33\dfrac{4πr^3}{3}, where r is the radius of the sphere.

Let r and R be the radii of the two spheres.

4πr334πR33=2764r3R3=2764rR=273643rR=34.\Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{4πr^3}{3}}{\dfrac{4πR^3}{3}} = \dfrac{27}{64} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{r^3}{R^3} = \dfrac{27}{64} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{r}{R} = \dfrac{\sqrt[3]{27}}{\sqrt[3]{64}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{r}{R} = \dfrac{3}{4}.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
