Question

A sphere and a cube have equal surface areas . The ratio of the volume of the sphere to that of the cube is :


Options:
A .  `sqrt(pi) : sqrt(6)`
B .  `sqrt(2) : sqrt(pi)`
C .  `sqrt(pi) : sqrt(3)`
D .  `sqrt(6) : sqrt(pi)`
Answer: Option D

`4 pi R^2  = 6a^2`

`rArr    R^2/r^2 = (3)/(2pi)`

`R/r = sqrt(3)/sqrt( 2pi)`

(Volume of sphere)/( Volume of cube )

=`(4/3 piR^3)/(a^3) = 4/3 pi (R/a)^3 = 4/3 pi  (3sqrt(3))/(2 pi sqrt(2 pi)) = 2sqrt(3)/sqrt(2 pi) = sqrt(12)/sqrt(2pi)`

= `sqrt(6)/sqrt(pi)`  = `sqrt(6)  : sqrt(pi)`
