The number of iron balls, each 1 cm in radius, that can be made from an iron sphere of diameter 12 cm is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The big sphere has radius 66 cm.

Since volume varies as the cube of the radius, the number of small balls =43π(6)343π(1)3=63=216= \frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi (6)^3}{\frac{4}{3}\pi (1)^3} = 6^3 = 216.
