Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

64

Solution :

The correct option is 64.

Step 1: Find the radius of the hemispherical bowl.
The circumference around the brim of the hemispherical bowl is given as 88 cm.
The formula for the circumference of the circular brim is:

Circumference=2πR

where R is the radius of the hemispherical bowl.
Substitute the given circumference of 88 cm and π=227:

2×227×R=88

447×R=88

R=88×744

R=2×7=14 cm

Step 2: Find the radius of the hemispherical glass.
The diameter at the top of each hemispherical glass is 7 cm.
Therefore, the radius r of each glass is:

r=Diameter2=72=3.5 cm

Step 3: Formulate the equation for the number of persons served.
The volume V of any hemisphere with radius x is given by:

V=23πx3

The total number of persons who can be served equals the volume of the full bowl divided by the volume of one glass:

Number of persons=VbowlVglass=23πR323πr3

Canceling the common factor 23π from both numerator and denominator:

Number of persons=(Rr)3

Step 4: Calculate the final value.
Substitute R=14 cm and r=3.5 cm into the simplified ratio:

Number of persons=(143.5)3

Number of persons=43=64

Thus, 64 persons may be served from the bowl.
