A sphere and a cube have the same surface area. The ratio of the volume of the sphere to that of the cube is?

Correct Answer: √6 : √π

Explanation:

Let r be the radius of the sphere and a be the side of the cube
∴ 4π r2 = 6a2
r = √6 a / 2√π
⇒ r3 = 6√6a3 / 8π√π
⇒ Ratio of volume = (4/3 πr3)/a3
∴ Required ratio = √6 / √π
