Question 3 The diameter of a sphere is decreased by 25%. By what per cent does its curved surface area decrease? Let Original diameter of sphere = do Original radius of sphere = ro = š_0/2 Now, Original C.S.A of sphere (Ao) = 4šr02 = 4š (š_0/2)^2 = 4š Ć (š_0 )^2/4 = š do2 Now, Diameter of sphere is decreased by 25% Diameter of sphere after decrease= do ā 25/100 do d = (1 ā25/100) do = ((100 ā 25)/100) do = 75/100 do = 3/4 do Radius of sphere after decrease = š/2 = 1/2 (3/4 š_0 ) = 3/8 do CSA of sphere after decrease (A) = 4šr2 A = 4 Ć š Ć (3/8 š_0 )^2 A = 4 Ć š Ć 9/64 do2 A = 9/16 š do2 Now, Percentage of Area decreased = (š·šššššš š šš š“ššš)/(šššššššš š“ššš) Ć 100 = (š“_0 ā š“)/š“_0 Ć 100% = (šćš0ć^2 ā 9/16 šćš0ć^2)/(šćš0ć^2 ) Ć 100% = (šćš0ć^2 (1 ā 9/16))/(šćš0ć^2 ) Ć 100% = (1ā9/16)Ć100 = (16 ā 9)/16 Ć 100% = 7/16 Ć 100 % = 7/4 Ć 25% = 175/4 % = 43.75% 43.75 4 175 16 15 12 30 28 20 20 0
