Concept:

Surface area of a sphere of radius r is 4πr2

Explanation:

Original radius of globe = 1o units and distance between A and B is 25 units

Now, after expansion, radius is 50 unit

so radius increase 5 times.

Therefore, surface area will increase 52 = 25 times  

Hence now distance between A and B = 25 × 25 = 625 unit

Option (4) is correct
