  1. A cube and a sphere have equal surface areas. Find the ratio of their volumes.
    1. π : √6
    2. √π : √6
    3. √π : 6
    4. None of these
Correct Option: B

Let the edge of cube be x units and radius of sphere be y units.
∴ Surface area of cube = surface area of sphere
⇒ 6x² = 4πy²

⇒
x²
=
4π
=
2π
y²63

⇒
x
= √
2π
⇒ x : y = √2π : √3
y3

2⇒ Volume of cube : Volume of sphere
= x³ :
4
πy³ = 3x³ : 4πy³
3

= 3 × 2π√2π : 4π × 3 × √3
= π√2π : 2√3
= √π : √6
