SSC CHSL - 01 July 2024 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q55

A largest possible sphere is carved from a cube of side 14 cm. What is its volume in cm³?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 1437131437\frac{1}{3}.

Side of the cube = 14 cm

Thus, the diameter of the sphere = 14 cm.

So, r = d/2 = 14/2 = 7 cm

The formula for the volume of a sphere is:

⇒ V = 43\frac{4}{3} πr3πr^3

⇒ V = 43\frac{4}{3}π(7)3(7)^3

⇒ V = 43\frac{4}{3} × 343 × 227\frac{22}{7}

⇒ V = 143713\frac{1}{3}cm3cm^3
