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

A. $$\sqrt \pi :\sqrt 6 $$

B. $$\sqrt 2 :\sqrt \pi $$

C. $$\sqrt \pi :\sqrt 3 $$

D. $$\sqrt 6 :\sqrt \pi $$

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & 4\pi {R^2} = 6{a^2} \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{{R^2}}}{{{a^2}}} = \frac{3}{{2\pi }} \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{R}{a} = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{{\sqrt {2\pi } }} \cr} $$
$$\eqalign{ & \therefore \frac{{{\text{Volume of spere}}}}{{{\text{Volume of cube}}}} \cr & = \frac{{\frac{4}{3}\pi {R^3}}}{{{a^3}}} \cr & = \frac{4}{3}\pi {\left( {\frac{R}{a}} \right)^3} \cr & = \frac{4}{3}\pi \frac{{3\sqrt 3 }}{{2\pi \sqrt {2\pi } }} \cr & = \frac{{2\sqrt 3 }}{{\sqrt {2\pi } }} \cr & = \frac{{\sqrt {12} }}{{\sqrt {2\pi } }} \cr & = \frac{{\sqrt 6 }}{{\sqrt \pi }} \cr & \text{or, }\sqrt 6 :\sqrt \pi \cr} $$
