Question : The radius of a metallic spherical ball is 3 cm. If the metallic ball is melted and recast into $x$ number of hemispheres of radius equal to half the radius of the metallic spherical ball, then find the value of $x$.
Option 1: 15
Option 3: 16
Option 4: 13
Correct Answer: 16
Solution : Given, Radius of sphere = 3 cm = $r_s$ Radius of hemisphere = $\frac{r_s}{2}$ = $r_h$ ⇒ $r_s=2r_h$ We know, Volume of sphere = $x$(Volume of hemisphere) [in this case] ⇒ $\frac43\pi r_s^3=x(\frac23\pi r_h^3)$ ⇒ $2(2r_h)^3=x(r_h)^3$ ⇒ $x=2\times2\times2\times2$ ⇒ $x=16$ Hence, the correct answer is

Option 4: $\frac{m}{n}$
Correct Answer: $2$
Solution : $\frac{(m^2+n^2)(m-n)-(m-n)^3}{(m^2 n-m n^2)}$ = $\frac{(m-n)[(m^2+n^2)-(m-n)^2]}{mn(m-n)}$ = $\frac{[m^2+n^2-m^2-n^2+2mn]}{mn}$ = $\frac{2mn}{mn}$ = $2$ Hence, the correct answer is 2.
