  1. A cylindrical vessel of radius 4 cm. contains water. A solid sphere of radius 3 cm. is dipped into the water until it is completely immersed. The water level in the vessel will rise by
    1. 3.5 cm.
    2. 2.25 cm.
    3. 2 cm.
    4. 3.8 cm.
Correct Option: B

If the rise in water level be h cm., then

πr²h =
4
πR³
3

where r = radius of cylindrical vessel,
R = radius of solid sphere
⇒ 4² × h =
4
× (3)³
3

⇒ h =
4 × 3 × 3
=
9
4 × 44

= 2.25 cm.
