Outermost is the sphere. Inside that there is a cube and within that there is a cone and cylinder with same radius.
Here side of cube = a Diameter of Sphere = body diagnol = √3 a
Radius of sphere = √3 a/2 = r
1Height of Cylinder = Height of cone = side of cube = a = h

Volume Ratio of Cube to Cylinder
The volume of a cube is calculated as (side length)^3, while the volume of a cylinder is calculated as π(radius)^2(height). To find the ratio of the volume of the cube to the cylinder, we need to compare their volumes based on the given information.
Volume of the Cube
- Let the side length of the cube be 'a'.
- Therefore, the volume of the cube = a^3.
Volume of the Cylinder
- The cylinder is inscribed within the cube, touching all the vertical faces.
- The diameter of the cylinder is equal to the diameter of the cone and the heights of both are the same.
- Let the radius of the cylinder and cone be 'r' and the height be 'h'.
- Therefore, the volume of the cylinder = πr^2h.
Calculation of Ratio
- As the cube is inscribed in the sphere, the diameter of the sphere is equal to the side length of the cube, which is 'a'.
- The diameter of the sphere = diagonal of the cube = √3a.
- The radius of the sphere = √3a/2.
- The radius of the cylinder = √2a/2.
- The volume ratio of the cube to the cylinder = (a^3) / (π(√2a/2)^2h).
- Simplifying further, we get the ratio as 14:11.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'c) 14:11'.
