Question : If the volume of a sphere is 4851 cm3, then its surface area (in cm2)is: $\left(\right.$Take $\pi=\frac{22}{7})$
Option 1: 1427
Option 2: 1386
Option 3: 1399
Option 4: 1268
Correct Answer: 1386
Solution : Given: The volume of the sphere of radius $r$ = 4851 cm3 We know, Volume of the sphere $=\frac{4}{3} ×\pi r^3$ ⇒ $4851 = \frac{4}{3} × \frac{22}{7} × r^3$ ⇒ $r^3= 4851 × \frac{21}{88}$ ⇒ $r^3= 441 × \frac{21}{8}$ ⇒ $r = \frac{21}{2}$ Also,

Option 1: –6
Option 2: 5
Option 3: 6
Option 4: –5
