Detailed Solution

Given, radius of first sphere= 8 cm.
The radius of small lead balls =16mm  .
We know 10 mm= 1cm.
So, 16mm=1.6cm.
We know, volume of a sphere = 4 3 π r 3  .
Total number of possible small lead balls = volume of 1st sphere volume of small lead balls      4 3 π (8) 3 4 3 π (1.6) 3    8×8×8 1.6×1.6×1.6    8×8×8×1000 16×16×16       125  Hence, there are 125 small lead balls.
Therefore, the correct option is 2.
