Detailed Solution

Given- volumes of two hemispheres are in the ratio 27: 125.
Volume of hemisphere = 2 3 π r 3  
Let r 1   be the radius of first hemisphere and r 2   be the radius of second hemisphere.
   2 3 π r 1 3 2 3 π r 2 3 = 27 125 r 1 3 r 2 3 = 27 125 r 1 3 r 2 3 = 3 5 3 r 1 r 2 = 3 5  
Thus, the ratio of the radii is 3:5.
Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
