D
Option (d)
Side length of Beta cube = 2 cm
Volume of Beta cube = (2)3 = 8 cm3 .........-(1)
Diagonal length of Beta cube = side length of Alpha cube = 2√3 cm
Side length of Gamma cube = diagonal length of Alpha cube = (2 √3)√3 = 6 cm.
Diameter of sphere inside Gamma cube = Length of edge = 6 cm.
Radius of sphere =62 = 3 cm
Volume of sphere S
= (43)×π×(3)3 = 36π.........(2)
Required ratio = S : q = 36π : 8 = 9π : 2
