Q.If a sphere occupies the maximum space inside a cube, what will be the ratio of the volumes of the sphere and the cube (a) π:3 (b) π:2 (c) π:4 (d) π:6
Answer: D
If the radius of the sphere is \(r\) units,
the side length of the cube = the diameter of the sphere = \(2r\) units.
\(\therefore\) Volume of the sphere : Volume of the cube

\(= \cfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3 : (2r)^3 = \cfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3 : 8r^3\)

\(= 4\pi : 24 = \pi : 6\).
