  • Question
  • A cylindrical tub of radius 12 cm contains water to a depth of 20 cm. A spherical iron ball is dropped into the tub and thus the level of water is raised by 6.75 cm. What is the radius of the ball?


  • Options
  • A. 6 cm
  • B. 9 cm
  • C. 8 cm
  • D. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • 9 cm 

    Explanation

    Volume of the spherical ball = Volume of the water displaced
    ? 4/3 ?r3 = ?(12)2 x 6.75
    ? r3 = 144 x 6.75 x 3/4 = 729
    ? r = 9 cm
