Question

The largest sphere is cut off from a solid cube of side 6 cm. The volume of the sphere will be:

A.

108π cm3\text{cm}^3

B.

12π cm3\text{cm}^3

C.

36π cm3\text{cm}^3

D.

27π cm3\text{cm}^3

Correct option is C

Given:

Side length of the cube = 6 cm
Diameter of the sphere = 6 cm

Formula Used:

The volume V  of a sphere is given by the formula:

V=43πr3V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

Solution:

The largest sphere that can fit inside a cube will have a diameter equal to the side length of the cube.

Side length of the cube = 6 cm

Diameter of the sphere = 6 cm

The radius r  of the sphere is half of its diameter:

r=Diameter2=62=3 cmr = \frac{\text{Diameter}}{2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \, \text{cm}

The volume V  of a sphere is given by the formula:

V=43πr3V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

V=43π(3)3V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (3)^3

V=43π(27)V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (27)

V=43×27×πV = \frac{4}{3} \times 27 \times \pi

V=36π cm3V = 36 \pi \, \text{cm}^3

Option (C) is right.
