Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 118π

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that, the volume of a sphere of radius r is 43πr3 cm3. It is given that, a spherical iron ball of 10 cm radius is coated with a layer of ice of uniform thickness, let the thickness is 'x' cm, then volume of the ball is V=43π10+x3 cm3. On…
