  1. A copper sphere of diameter 18 cm is drawn into a wire of diameter 4 mm. The length of the wire, in metre, is :
    1. 2.43
    2. 243
    3. 2430
    4. 24.3
Correct Option: B

Volume of sphere =
4
πr³
3

=
4
π × 9 × 9 × 9
3

= 972π cubic.cm.
If the length of wire be h cm., then
π × (0.2)² × h = 972π
⇒ h =
972
= 24300 cm.
0.2 × 0.2

or 243 metres
