Explanation
Let radius of sphere be r cm.
Given, the surface area of a sphere =346.5\ \text{cm}^2.
We know, surface area of sphere =4\pi { r }^{ 2 }.
4\pi r^2 = 346.5 cm^2
{ { r }^{ 2 } }=\cfrac { 346.5 }{ 4\pi }
=\dfrac{346.5\times7}{4\times22}
=\dfrac{2425.5}{4\times22}
=27.5625
\implies r=\sqrt { 27.5625 } =5.25\ \text{cm} .
Therefore, option A is correct.
False: Clearly from figure when a ball (spherical) is exactly fitted inside the cubical box then diameter of the ball becomes equal to side of cube so
Diameter = d = a
\Rightarrow Radius =r=\dfrac{a}{2}
\therefore Volume of spherical ball =\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}
=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi \left ( \dfrac{a}{2} \right )^{3}=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi \dfrac{a^{3}}{8}=\dfrac{1}{6}\pi a^{3}\neq \dfrac{4}{3}\pi a^{3}
Hence, the given statement is false.
