Question Numbers: 126-127A cube of side P is placed inside a sphere of radius R in such a way that all the vertices of cube touch the sphere. Volume of a cone of radius 3R and height H is 11(11/14) unit2.
Concept:When a cube is inscribed in a sphere, the body diagonal of the cube equals the diameter of the sphere. This relation, combined with the cone volume formula, gives the required equation.Explanation:Let the side of the cube be P, the radius of the sphere be R, the radius of the cone be 3R, and the height of the cone be H.Given: Volume of cone =14165 cubic units.For the cube inside the sphere:3P=2RSquaring both sides: 3P2=4R2Hence, R2=43P2.Radius of cone squared:(3R)2=3R2=3×43P2=49P2.Volume of cone:31πr2H=1416531×722×49P2×H=141651433P2H=1416533P2H=165P2H=5H=P25Squaring both sides:H2=P425Therefore, P425=H2.
Answer:The correct relation is P425=H2, which corresponds to option D.
