Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Volume of steel ball = \(\frac{4\pi r^2}{3}\)
= \(\frac{4}{3}\) \(\pi\) x 1
= \(\frac{4 \pi}{3}\)cm3
Vol. of cylinder = \(\pi\)r2h
= \(\pi\) x 22 x 3
Vol. of water = 16\(\pi\) - \(\frac{4 \pi}{3}\)
= \(\frac{48 - 4 \pi}{3}\)
= \(\frac{44 \pi}{3}\)cm3
Volume of steel ball = \(\frac{4\pi r^2}{3}\)
= \(\frac{4}{3}\) \(\pi\) x 1
= \(\frac{4 \pi}{3}\)cm3
Vol. of cylinder = \(\pi\)r2h
= \(\pi\) x 22 x 3
Vol. of water = 16\(\pi\) - \(\frac{4 \pi}{3}\)
= \(\frac{48 - 4 \pi}{3}\)
= \(\frac{44 \pi}{3}\)cm3
