Q.If the curved surface area of a solid sphere and three times its volume are numerically equal, then the diameter of the sphere is _____ units.

If the curved surface area of a solid sphere and three times its volume are numerically equal, then the diameter of the sphere is **2** units.

Let the radius of the sphere be \( r \) units.
\(\therefore\) According to the question, \( 4\pi r^2 = \cancel3 \times \cfrac{4}{\cancel3} \pi r^3 \)
Or, \( 4r^2 = 4r^3 \)
Or, \( r = 1 \)
\(\therefore\) The diameter of the sphere is \( 1 \times 2 = 2 \) units. (Answer)
