  1. First case:
    Radius of balloon r = 7 cm
    Surface area of balloon = 4πr²
    = 4 × 22/7 × 7 × 7 = 4 × 22 × 7 = 616 cm²
    Hence, the surface area of ballon is 616 cm²
    Second case:
    Radius of balloon R = 14 cm
    Surface area of bolloon = 4πR²
    = 4 × 22/7 × 14 × 14
    = 4 × 22 × 2 × 14
    = 2464 cm²
    Hence, the surface area of balloon is 2464 cm².
    Ratio of surface area = 616/2464 = 1/4
    Hence, the ratio of surface areas in two cases is 1:4
