    Radius of the base of cone = r units

    ∴ Volume (v) =

    Let the radius of first sphere be r cm
    and the radius of second sphere = (r + 2) cm
    Now, Difference between surface area = 352
    ⇒ 4π {(r + 2)² – r²} = 352
    or,

    4 ×
    22
    {(r + 2 -r) + (r + 2 + r)} = 352
    7

    ⇒ 2 × 2(r + 1) =
    352 × 7
    4 × 22

    ⇒ r + 1 =
    352 × 7
    4 × 4 × 22

    ⇒ r + 1 = 7
    ∴ r = 7 – 1 = 6 cm

    Correct Option: D

    ⇒ 2 × 2(r + 1) =
    352 × 7
    4 × 22

    ⇒ r + 1 =
    352 × 7
    4 × 4 × 22

    ⇒ r + 1 = 7
    ∴ r = 7 – 1 = 6 cm
