  1. The radius of a sphere is 6 cm. It is melted and drawn into a wire of radius 0.2 cm. The length of the wire is
    1. 81 metre
    2. 80 metre
    3. 75 metre
    4. 72 metre
Correct Option: D

In both cases, volume will remain same.

Volume of sphere =
4
πr³
3

=
4
π(6)³
3

= 288π cu. cm.
If the length of wire be h cm., then
⇒ πR²h = 288π
⇒ (0.2)² × h = 288
⇒ h =
288
= 7200 cm.
0.04

= 72 metre
