    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.
