SSC CHSL - 25 May 2022 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q62

 The volume of a sphere is 288π cm3. Find its surface area. 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 144π cm2

Given:

Volume of sphere = 288π cm3.

Formula used:

Volume of sphere = (4/3)πr3             ---- (1)

Surface area of sphere = 4πr2           ----- (2)

Calculations:

Using equation (1), we get

⇒ (4/3)πr3 = 288π

⇒ r3 = 216

⇒ r = 6

Using equation (2), we get

Surface area of sphere = 4πr2

⇒ 4 × π × 36

⇒ 144π cm2
