SSC GD Constable (English) - 2 Feb 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q51

 What will be the volume of the largest sphere which can be carved out of a cube of side 6 cm? (in cm3)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

 The Correct answer is Option 2 i.e.113.14.

The diameter of the largest sphere carved out of the cube = Side of the cube

The volume of the sphere = 4/3πr3

Let the side of the cube be "s" m and the sphere's radius be "r" m.

Diameter of largest sphere carved out of cube = Side of cube

⇒ 2 × r = s

⇒ r = 6/2 m = 3 m

Volume of sphere = 4/3πr3

⇒ 4/3 × 22/7 × (3)3 m3 = 113.14 m3 

The volume of the largest sphere carved out of the cube is 113.14 m3
