Solution

The surface area of sphere = 4πr2
4πr= 616

r= `(616 xx 7)/(4 xx 22)`
r = 49
r = `sqrt49`
r = 7 cm

Volume of big sphere = `4/3πr^3 = 4/3 xx 22/7 xx (7)^3`

Volume of small sphere = `4/3 π(3.5/2)^3`

∴ No of smaller sphere = `"Volume of big sphere"/"Volume of small sphere"`

= `(4/3π (7)^3)/(4/3π (3.5/2)^3)`

= 64.
