MCQ: Sphere - Question 1

The length of the side of a cube is 5.6 cm. What is the volume of the largest sphere that can be taken out of the cube?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Sphere - Question 1

Given:

Edge of the cube = 5.6 cm

Formula used:

The volume of the sphere = (4/3) × π × r3

Calculation:

Diameter of the sphere = Edge of the cube
⇒ 2 × radius of sphere = 5.6 cm
⇒ The radius of sphere = 5.6/2 = 2.8 cm
The volume of the sphere = (4/3) × (22/7) × (2.8)3
⇒ 88/21 × 21.952
⇒ 91.98
∴ The volume of the largest sphere that can be taken out of the cube is 91.98 cm3

MCQ: Sphere - Question 2

If three solid gold spherical beads of radii 6 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm, respectively are melted into one spherical bead, then what is the radius (in cm) of the larger bead?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Sphere - Question 2

Given:

Spheres of radius r1 = 6 cm, r2 = 8 cm, r3 = 10 cm molten in single one. 

Formula used:

The volume of Sphere = 4/3π r3

Calculations:

Let the Radius of the larger bead be 'R' 
According to the question,
The volume of smaller beads = Volume of the larger bead
⇒ 4/3π [(6)3 + (8)3 + (10)3] = 4/3π R3
⇒ R3 = [(216) + (512) + (1000)]
⇒ R3 = 1728 = 12 cm.
∴ The radius (in cm) of the larger bead will be 12 cm.
