The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements provided and determine their validity based on the properties of a sphere and the formulas related to its surface area. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Curved Surface Area (CSA) of a Sphere**: The formula for the curved surface area (CSA) of a sphere is given by: \[ \text{CSA} = 4\pi r^2 \] where \( r \) is the radius of the sphere. Since the diameter \( D \) is twice the radius, we have: \[ r = \frac{D}{2} \] Thus, we can express CSA in terms of diameter: \[ \text{CSA} = 4\pi \left(\frac{D}{2}\right)^2 = \pi D^2 \] 2. **Calculating the New Diameter After a 25% Decrease**: If the diameter is decreased by 25%, the new diameter \( D' \) can be calculated as: \[ D' = D - 0.25D = 0.75D \] 3. **Calculating the New Curved Surface Area**: Now, we calculate the new CSA using the new diameter \( D' \): \[ \text{CSA}' = \pi (D')^2 = \pi (0.75D)^2 = \pi \left(\frac{9}{16}D^2\right) = \frac{9\pi D^2}{16} \] 4. **Finding the Percentage Decrease in CSA**: The original CSA is \( \pi D^2 \). The decrease in CSA can be calculated as: \[ \text{Decrease} = \text{Original CSA} - \text{New CSA} = \pi D^2 - \frac{9\pi D^2}{16} = \pi D^2 \left(1 - \frac{9}{16}\right) = \pi D^2 \left(\frac{7}{16}\right) \] The percentage decrease is given by: \[ \text{Percentage Decrease} = \frac{\text{Decrease}}{\text{Original CSA}} \times 100 = \frac{\frac{7\pi D^2}{16}}{\pi D^2} \times 100 = \frac{7}{16} \times 100 = 43.75\% \] 5. **Evaluating Statement 1**: Statement 1 claims that if the diameter of a sphere is decreased by 25%, then its curved surface area is decreased by 43.75%. From our calculations, this statement is **true**. 6. **Evaluating Statement 2**: Statement 2 claims that the curved surface area increases when the diameter decreases. However, from the formula \( \text{CSA} = \pi D^2 \), we see that CSA is directly proportional to the square of the diameter. Therefore, if the diameter decreases, the CSA must also decrease. Thus, this statement is **false**. ### Conclusion: - **Statement 1**: True - **Statement 2**: False The correct option is that Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false.
