SSC CGL - 05 Dec 2022 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q55

The curved surface area of the sphere is 154 cm2 . Find the volume of the sphere (rounded off to one digit after decimal).

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 179.7 cm3

Formula used:

Curved surface area of sphere = 4πr2           ----- (1)

Volume of sphere = (4/3)πr3             ---- (2)

Calculations:

Using equation (1), we get

⇒ 4 × (22/7) × r2 = 154

⇒ r2 = 49/4

⇒ r = 7/2

Using equation (2),

Volume of sphere = (4/3) × (22/7) × (7/2) × (7/2) × (7/2) = 179.7 cm3
