Question 16

Mathematics Basic Geometry Easy

A spherical ball of diameter 21 cm is melted and recast into cubes, each of side 1 cm . The number of cubes thus formed are

(A) 4851
(B) 4850
(C) 8451
(D) 5841
✓ Correct Answer: Option A Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

Radius = 21/2 = 10.5 cm.

Volume of the sphere = \(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 10.5^3 = \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 1157.625 = 4851\) cm³

Each cube has volume 1 cm³, so the number of cubes = 4851.

Answer: (A) 4851
