  1. A sphere is placed inside a right circular cylinder so as to touch the top, base and the lateral surface of the cylinder. If the radius of the sphere is R, the volume of the cylinder is
    1. 2πR³
    2. 4πR³
    3. 8πR³
    4. 8
      πR³
      3
Correct Option: A

Height of cylinder = 2 R units
Radius of base = R units
∴ Volume of cylinder = πR²h
⇒ π(R)²(2R) = 2πR³
